SITI-B&T Group and the whiteware sector

On the strength of its expertise in the sanitaryware machinery sector, the B&T White division has secured an important agreement to supply a sanitaryware firing line to the Russian firm Ceramica Della owned by Noghinskij Strojfarfor group. It consists of a Parcus tunnel kiln with 2750 mm infeed and total length inclusive of the pre-kiln heater of 108.78 metres. The line will produce 800,000 pieces/year of WCs, washbasins, pedestals and cisterns.

The completely reorganised B&T White sanitaryware division will make its debut at Tecnargilla 2012 where, in keeping with its mission (innovation, essentiality, scalability), it will present numerous major innovations in the fields of high-pressure casting and robotic glazing. For high-pressure sanitaryware casting, B&T White is proposing new solutions including Circle, a portal machine for the production of articles with two-part moulds, with a productivity up to 40% higher than conventional machines (Twin cast Technology); Cubic, a machine introduced at the last Tecnargilla, now enhanced with the glue-on rim solution that delivers 15% higher productivity; and B&T Por, the brand new MPR (Mid Porosity Resin) moulds that combine the advantages of micro and macro porous resins.
