The ceramic body preparation shop integrates innovations designed to optimise and maximise the efficiency of the entire process, from the automatic management of raw material loading through recipe dosage all the way to powder loading in the storage silos. In this way, better performance is achieved in terms of energy savings, repeatability and process control, as well as product quality and consistency. Additionally, advanced predictive machine maintenance functions are available.

Storage allows production to be organised in batches, facilitating product changeover and increasing ceramic production efficiency. Handling of fired products is done with automatic vehicles. In the case of large size ceramic production, a solution is available with intermediate storage of fired product and the subsequent surface finishing and format cutting, depending on the job order. SACMI offers a wide range of machines to sort through and package tiles and slabs. Packaging can be with cardboard blanks for medium-small sizes or trays for larger sizes. For the packaging of large slabs, crates or trestles are used.
