Vixtiles, which is located near the port in Vitória, maintains a deep inventory of blocks, which are processed on gangsaws from Breton, S.p.A. of Italy. The company is currently running four gangsaws, and at the time of Stone World’s visit to the facility, it was in the process of adding two more gangsaws to the operation.
Raw slabs are polished on an automated line from Breton, which is equipped with 19 polishing heads, and Breton vacuum lifting equipment is used to remove the finished slabs from the polishing line. The slabs are also treated with resin products, which are now used on 100% of the materials processed by Vixtiles. To optimize the curing process, the slabs are placed in driers from Rosh Industrial.
