Duravit France invests in Sacmi RobotGlaze with anti-bacterial kit

The company recently installed a new Sacmi-Gaiotto GA2000 robot equipped with the new anti-bacterial kit for efficient, uniform application of sanitising glaze.

Following the recent installation of a Sacmi AVI cell and dryer in the casting department, the French branch of the Duravit Group, a multinational producer of top quality sanitaryware, is now continuing its investments in technological modernisation of the glazing department.

A latest-generation Sacmi-Gaiotto GA2000 robot has been installed at the Bischwiller factory in the Alsace region to replace a previous model, also supplied by Sacmi. This is the third GA2000 robot in operation at the production facility. The system will be equipped with the new anti-bacterial glaze application kit, a solution that uses digital application to ensure optimal uniformity and repeatability while minimising consumption of materials.

A second robot of the same type already in operation at Duravit France will also be equipped with the new anti-bacterial application. In technological terms, it represents an additional channel in the well-established mass control system used for controlling the flow rate and quantity of applied glaze. Due to reach full capacity over the coming months, the solution represents a further step forward in the relationship between the two companies and confirms Sacmi’s leadership in the field of robotised sanitaryware glazing.
