Gea, the latest process innovation from System for mouldless pressing, is a revolutionary and highly flexible system in which the desired type of product determines the way the machine is used.
The Gea press is capable of handling large-format tiles of any thickness and has strong green credentials in terms of the energy and raw materials savings it offers the ceramic industry. The range includes four versions with different tonnages: GEA15000t, GEA26000t, GEA33000t and GEA40000t. They all guarantee uniform compaction over the entire surface of the tile (tile pressing area to oil pressure ratio 1: 1).
The resultant products are perfectly flat, free from internal stresses and with limited calibre variations; free from additives and made with standard spray-dried body; compliant with standard UNI 1441, annex 10545; suitable for wet or dry through-body decoration; with a smooth or textured surface. The products have unlimited aesthetic potential. Furthermore, the press can be integrated with existing plants and requires no foundations for installation or exceptional transport (on-site installation).
