To finish these edges, the company invested in a Comandulli Omega 100 from Italy. This automated machine can fabricate edges from 2 to 10 cm thick, including waterfall, beveled, double eased and bullnose. The edges are completely finished on one, two or three sides as needed, and the company can also do laminated edges.
The production rate for countertop blanks depends on the type of work being done. For basic 3-cm blanks, Zucchi Granite Group can process 50 pieces per day, and for counters with larger laminated edges, the company can process 40 to 50 pieces in a shift. The company is currently working one shift, and a second one will be starting soon.
