According to Simec, the company has invested heavily in the development and design of a product that would be a leader in the sector of gangsaws. "The results are fully validating the achievement of that goal by obtaining a high rate of production," the company stated, adding that no attempt has thus far been made to exploit the machine at its fullest potential. "It has only been observed under conditions of normal use, to verify its performance. Currently, just one of these new gangsaws is able to do all the work of the entire old stone-cutting plant it replaces, with a considerable overall reduction of overhead costs."
Simec reports that there are several advantages to this type of machine, which can house three standard-sized blocks of granite under its blade-holding frame (or four slightly smaller ones). These are not limited to production increases, as they also make it possible to save on personnel and reduce the consumption of blades, metal grains and power, thanks to the entire redesign of the masses and dynamics of the gangsaw. Simec Record Due gangsaws are the only machines in the world equipped with curved columns and a double connecting rod transmission system, according to the company.
