System Ceramics launches Infinity DRY

With the new digital grit and powder application system, System Ceramics raises the level of digital decoration.

Infinity DRY is the new digital grit and powder application system with which System Ceramics (Coesia Group) accelerates the evolution of ceramic decoration. This new solution sums up the synergy between the excellence of digital printing expressed by Creadigit Infinity and the use of dry powders in the digital bars. The result is the possibility to reach new decoration performances for porcelain surfaces, taking the product to an increasingly realistic and three-dimensional level.

The core of Infinity DRY is its selective functioning, which makes it possible to deposit grits and powders in selected points on specific areas. After the digital printer has applied the layer of glue on the tile surface, the new digital grit and powder discharge system releases the decorating material and, subsequently, sucks the small amount of powder in excess, leaving the design perfectly clean and defined.

The evolution of Infinity DRY is based on the know-how developed with heads for powder-based printing, derived from the application of dry material already successfully managed by System Ceramics’ Genesis technology. This technical background ensures that the system can manage a vast range of materials with different volumes with high standards of quality and precision, creating numerous versions of digital designs. It also allows to overcome the limitations of current digital printers which, for this type of material application, require powders with predefined characteristics and offer a limited range of applications. The machine, in fact, not only decorates full fields but also enables selective designs and sequentially applies different grits using separate bars, catering to the most sophisticated decorative needs and aiming for maximum flexibility.

By integrating digital bars with those for grits in a single module, System Ceramics presents an innovative solution, which permits the application of dry material in a single step, guaranteeing maximum precision and reducing material waste and recirculation impurities to a minimum. This is a sustainable upgrade compared to traditional processes, in which excess powders are sucked up and need to be processed in order to be reused, often resulting in a loss of purity.  With the Infinity DRY system, the synergy between the decorating digital bars and those for grits make it possible to limit waste, optimizing the use of the powders.
