Glazing & decoration

At Cersaie 2017, Esmalglass-Itaca is presenting a complete range of water-based glazes and engobes for digital application.

At this year’s Ceramics China show Xaar showcases a number of exciting developments for the ceramic tile market which reinforce Xaar’s position as the market-leading printhead technology company.

Easy Polar is the innovative direct-exchange cooling system from Certech

Eolo is able to reduce the temperature by around 5-10 °C and totally eliminate water evaporation from the tiles’ surface before infeed to the digital machine.

A leader in the field of ceramic decoration, the company has developed a new line of Inkjet Master digital effects that bring together the wide range of Megacolor brand ceramic colours with the use of cutting-edge technology.  

Tekmak has continued its research efforts in this field and the company is now presenting version 3.0, Igloo Cube, the most innovative and revolutionary version in terms of energy consumption, dimensions and performance.

"Smaltochimica Inks" is a complete range of colours, materials and effects for all kinds of decorations.

Metco is returning to the Kromatech section of Tecnargilla (Hall D5, stand 006) to present the completion of its “Magnificent Surfaces” project after developing the SSI Soluble Solvent Inks system, better known by the brand name SinkMet.

The new Digital Effects and Digital Materials families of products are designed to add material textures, contrasts, sheen and relief to further enhance ceramic products.

Evolution Clean is the innovative machine developed Elema for cleaning and recovering digital printheads by removing internal obstructions and residues.

Large sizes, the full-digital process, new digital material finishes and special digital effects are the key concepts that will define the future of ceramic technology as envisaged by Colorobbia.

Supreme Airless is the new station for high-speed application of glaze, engobe, crystalline and grits on large sizes up to 1700 mm.

The new products developed by Metco serve to fill the open microporosity on the surfaces with different solutions.

These innovative and complementary additives are used in the digital decoration of ceramic tiles to extend the range of decorations that can be performed.

Sinkmet soluble colours can be used on full-body porcelain tile to obtain veins and extraordinary aesthetic effects without the aid of glaze or glass sandwiching, while maintaining the technical qualities of porcelain.

Inter Ser is presenting the Evolution Clean digital printhead cleaning machine in partnership with Elema, which developed and tested it in operation.

The VivaJet® printer, available for widths of up to 1.4 m, holds up to 8 colour bars with the exclusive all-in-front layout which guarantees maximum accessibility to all components.

Igloo reduces the surface temperature by up to 12-14°C and also removes up to 90% of glaze surface moisture.

At Cevisama 2016 Kerajet unveiled the solution that would mark a real turning point for the future of the technology: complete digital lines covering the entire process from spray dried product through to the finished pallet ready for delivery

Polar and Easy Polar are the innovative cooling systems from Createch which are designed to eliminate steam from tiles prior to digital decoration.
