Florim USA begins large slab production using Sacmi technology

The project began in 2022 with the installation of a new kiln and has now been completed with the start-up of the first Continua+ line, with capacity soon set to double.

In response to growing US market demand for large-size tiles of extremely high technical and aesthetic quality, Florim has teamed up with Sacmi and completed the first step in an ambitious large slab project at its American branch in Clarksville, Tennessee. In August 2022, Florim USA installed a new 153.3-metre FMA295 Maestro state-of-the-art kiln ready to accommodate future production of large-size tiles, followed this spring by the first Continua+ 2120 line, the smartest in its class and the latest to be launched by Sacmi in 2021.

The new PCR2120 works seamlessly with the E7P285 7-level dryer, Sacmi digital decoration solutions and automated kiln loading/unloading and handling systems. The supplied equipment also includes BMR grinding and lapping lines, end-of-line solutions with LGVs, stackable racks and automatic systems for inserting products in crates or on stands.

In addition, Florim USA aims to double the capacity of its Continua+ line with the start-up of a PCR2000 in the coming months together with a new E7P dryer. Foto sacmi florim usa allegata
