Manfredini & Schianchi supplies plant to San Lorenzo in Peru

Sep 20, 2006
24/07/06 - Manfredini & Schianchi recently conducted final testing on a dry process raw materials preparation plant at the Peruvian ceramic factory of the San Lorenzo Group (Etex Group) which will be used for the production of vitrified red body single fired tile.

The plant was built entirely by Manfredini & Schianchi do Brasil, the Brazilian branch of M&S located in the Santa Catarina state, while the laboratory tests were performed entirely in Italy. The new plant is equipped with a PIG type hammer mill, an MS-4/150 pendular mill, MS sieves, an MS/38/KSTB-F wetting-granulating machine with moisture control and management and an in-press homogenisation system that uses MS/1130 rotary sieves.

The new plant will allow the Peruvian ceramic company to manufacture a product with outstanding aesthetic and technical characteristics, including low water absorption, a high breaking load, an almost flawless surface and first choice percentages higher than 93%.
