Siti B&T strengthens its presence in India

Siti B&T Group has recently started up a new complete line for one of its longstanding customers, the ceramic manufacturer Comet India based in Morbi (Gujarat).

The new plant has helped the Indian company secure significant shares of the domestic and international markets by substantially raising production capacity and improving product quality.

The line supplied by Siti B&T includes an EVO press, a vertical dryer and a latest generation Greenfire^® kiln.

The EVO 5008 press has a maximum pressing force of 5,000 tons and a free clearance between columns of 1,900 mm. It is ideal for the production of 60x120 cm and 90x90 cm sizes and is extremely reliable thanks to its steel structure which guarantees high shaping precision. To optimise factory spaces, a vertical dryer has been installed after the press to ensure extremely uniform drying.

Equipped with a cutting-edge combustion and heat recovery system based on the innovative Siti B&T burners, the Greenfire^® kiln has a length of 166 metres and a width of 2950 mm. It can produce sizes of 60x60 cm and 80x80 cm and delivers high productivity, quality and energy efficiency.
