Nuova Era secures contracts in South America

Three South American ceramic companies - Acro Industrial de Pisos (Brazil), Santa Julia (Mexico) and Graiman (Ecuador) - have chosen Nuova Era technology to expand their storage plants and production departments. Acro Industrial de Pisos has been supplied with a Roboairbox system for overhead storage of green ware, a kiln loading unit with maxi-compensator and an accessories line that will enable it to optimise the kiln entrance while occupying the minimum space. Roboairbox is the ideal storage solution for companies with a high output, as is the case of Acro Industrial de Pisos with its production of 24,000 sq.m of single fired tiles per day. The plant, to be delivered by the end of 2011, is equipped with complete transport systems.

The Mexican company Santa Julia has opted for two new glazing lines complete with accessories, a kiln unloading system, a Robofloor "Buffer" and a connecting line equipped with accessories that will complement a plant with a production capacity of 12,000 sq.m/day of single fired tiles (sizes from 30x30 cm to 50x50 cm). The Buffer version of Robofloor is the ideal choice for pallet loading/unloading in companies with high productivity and is recommended in the case of plants with an in-line sorting department.

Lastly, Graiman Nuova Era will install a plant consisting of nine Robotech box loading and unloading machines. All solutions for loading/unloading the twin-channel kiln (15,000 sq.m/day of single fired tile in sizes from 20x20 cm to 60x60 cm) and the single-channel kiln (4,500 sq.m/day of double fired tiles) will also be supplied. The supply package also includes a Buffer version Robobox with a double elevator allowing for a 30% increase in productivity. The plant is equipped with connection systems and accessories and is due for delivery in March 2012.
