The latest innovations ready for Tecnargilla

Jun 07, 2006

07/06/06 - After a positive 2005, the Italian ceramic technology suppliers are preparing to present their latest innovations at Tecnargilla, the world’s largest exhibition for the sector, to be held in Rimini from 28 September to 2 October.

Products exhibited at the twentieth Tecnargilla will include new press decoration and in-line decoration systems as well as the latest no-contact digital techniques.
Hailed by many as the new frontier in decoration, this technology is characterised by considerably smaller systems than the current decoration plants and will allow for the use of colours such as micronised pigments.
New technology for the shaping segment will include alternatives to traditional presses such as extrusion systems in place of traditional tile pressing systems.
Considerable progress has also been made in traditional pressing technology, particularly in terms of increased production capacity.
At the next Tecnargilla we can expect to see presses with a free clearance between columns of up to 2450 mm as part of an ongoing trend that has been under way for several years.
In the sorting and palletisation line segment, Tecnargilla will be showcasing new technologies for large tile sizes that solve dimensional and weight problems. Important innovations will also be exhibited in the show’s special sections, Claytech for the heavy clay industry and Kromatech for colour and decoration.

Tecnargilla 2006 will also see the debut of Kermat, the section devoted to advanced ceramic products.
