Cutting-edge creative surfaces

Ferrari & Cigarini specialises in the design and manufacture of machines and plants for the tile manufacturing industry.

Since 1988, when the first cutting machines were designed for single-fired, double-fired and porcelain stoneware tiles, constant research to find solutions for problems in processing special pieces has led the company from Maranello to design and produce specialised plants for the production of mosaic pieces, strips, skirting tiles, bull-nose and steps and completely automated feeding systems (also thanks to the use of robot stations) and unpacking systems for grinding, honing and lapping lines. It is indeed in the unwrapping sector that Ferrari & Cigarini holds the international patent of the unwrap system.

Thanks to many years of experience in the design and production of mechanical equipment and industrial automated systems, Ferrari & Cigarini has also currently expanded its production range towards the sector of marble and stone, through the design of machinery for recovering waste material and for subsequently turning it into strip tiles, decorative in-fills, plinths, frames and special profiles.

Also strong in the building material sector thanks to the production of machinery for cutting strips, corner pieces and hollow flat tiles for ventilated facades, Ferrari & Cigarini also makes its mark in the glass sector and creates shuttles and automatic robots for feeding the cutting benches and the work stations.

Automatic machine for cuts, antislip incisions, pre-cut and special cut such as: mosaic, triangle, rombus. Able to work with marble, granite, gres porcellanato, agglomerated, brick and single-double firing.  The TMC2 system offers many advantages such as:-

• On the shaft of motor-spindle it is possible to mount till 4 cutting blades, divided by spacers and flanges, in order to obtain different sizes and multiple cuts contemporarly.

• The motorized conveyor belt improves the working quality and allows the production of pieces continuously.

• The guide positioned on motor side and the pressor bar guarantee, during working phase, a strong stability and an high level of finishing piece.

• All adjustments are facilitated by the use of handwheels and they do not require the use of tools.

• A lateral roller allows to lay the big sizes to be worked

– TMC2 has more speed of material progress and it allows to make cut, pre-cut and cut.

Automatic machine with two motor spindles to work with to different grinding wheels contemporary reducing the working time. It is possible to make half bullnose, jolly, bevel, and marble, granite, mono-firing and agglomerate working.  The MPC2 system also has many advantages including:-

 

 

• Two motor spindles allow to work with two different wheels reducing the working time.

• The motorized conveyor belt improves the working quality and allows the production of pieces continuously.

• The guide positioned on motor side and the pressure bar  guarantee, during  working phase, a strong stability and an high level of  finishing piece.

• All adjustments are facilitated  by the use of hand-wheels and they do not require the use of tools.

• A lateral roller allows to lay the big sizes to be worked.

About diaryofatileaddict

I have been writing about the tile industry for more than 25 years. I have started this blog to share some of my knowledge of, and enthusiasm for, ceramic tiles. I also wanted to shine a light on the work of some of the artists, architects and designers around the world who work with ceramic tiles. I was the Founding Editor of Tile UK, and I am currently the Editor of three tile-related publications in the UK: Tile & Stone Journal, The Specifier’s Guide to Ceramic Tile & Calibrated Natural Stone; and TDY: Tile Design Yearbook. I am also International Correspondent for Tile Today and Discovering Stone, both published in Australia. My aim with Diary of a Tile Addict is to introduce tile enthusiasts to developments in tile design, significant architectural and interior design projects that get the best out of tiles, technological developments that are driving the ceramic tile sector forward, and breaking news from tile exhibitions around the world. I will also introduce readers to some of the talented and inspiring individuals who help make the ceramic tile world so creatively diverse, technically advanced and intellectually fascinating.
