Ancora secures end-of-line order in Spain

Grespania (Castellón) recently expanded the end-of-line department of its production facility in Castellón. The new technologies, supplied by the Ancora Group's Spanish branch Ancora Iberia, include a swinging 20-head lapping machine which will be operational by June and will be used for lapping glazed porcelain tile in sizes from 300 to 600 mm.

The machine is also equipped with an Ancora Tutor remote supervision and support system while the swinging movement is managed by means of axis control and brushless motors. Four WOW dryers for sizes from 300x300 mm to 1200x1200 mm have also been in operation since March. Using a system patented by Ancora, they dry the upper and lower faces of the tile by removing most of the water through suction, after which hot air is blown over the tile to eliminate residual moisture.
