Delta Group adopts Industry 4.0 technologies from System Ceramics

The Brazilian ceramic group has equipped its new Rio Claro factory with four Superfast presses with a total production capacity of 66,000 sqm/day

Delta Group, Brazil’s largest porcelain tile manufacturer and one of the leading ceramic tile producer in Latin America, has adopted Industry 4.0 technologies from System Ceramics (Coesia Group) as part of its programme to modernise its production processes.

In keeping with its efforts to increase the level of digitalisation and automation of its lines, the Brazilian group has equipped its new plant in Rio Claro (São Paulo, Brazil), one of the most advanced anywhere in South America, with four Superfast mouldless presses that will guarantee a total production capacity of 66,000 sqm/day. The new presses will be used for the production of conventional tile sizes and will meet the required criteria of speed and flexibility, while also bringing significant advantages in terms of reduced energy consumption and raw material wastage given that a single Superfast press can achieve the same level of productivity as two conventional presses (up to 24,000 sqm/day).

With this latest investment, Delta Group aims to expand its product portfolio and strengthen its position both in Brazil and in the United States, the group’s main export market.

The presence of the System Brasil branch in Rio Claro will ensure rapid and efficient customer support.
