Ancora Group, energy efficiency and technology

To respond effectively to the demands of a market that is increasingly sensitive to factors of cost and finished product quality, Ancora Group is strengthening its focus on technological solutions capable of combining high performance with low energy consumption.

For this purpose, the Sassuolo-based group displayed its energy-saving products at the recent Tecnargilla, the world's most important exhibition of technological innovation for the ceramic and brick industries. These included the Vulcan burner, which combines low energy consumption with high levels of efficiency, flexibility and ease of maintenance, and the low-consumption dryer, a system that guarantees perfect drying of ceramic materials in the space of just a few minutes with up to 40% savings in energy consumption.

Ancora Group is continuing to invest in research and development, focusing in particular on tailored solutions that meet customers' specific requirements. Thanks to its Italian and international patents, the high quality of its plants and an uncompromising commercial strategy, the group has installed more than 800 plants worldwide. These include complete lines for polishing, lapping and squaring, special cutting lines, and eco-sustainable and energy-saving solutions for the ceramic industry.
