DIGITAL PRINT TECHNOLOGY
RAK Ceramics has acquired from one of
the leading equipment manufacturer in
Italy, the Digital Print Technology , for the
production of porcelain tiles with high
aesthetic value. It combines aesthetic quality
with a high production speed, meeting the
ceramic manufacturer ‘s twin requirements
of quality & productivity.
Digital technology is one of the most
advanced hi-definition printing Technology of porcelain tiles. It is also highly
a flexible technology meeting the needs of both through bodied and glazed
porcelain tile production.
Beautiful series of tiles in Digital print technology had been manufactured
in name of series such as - TROPICAL STONE, JADE STONE & BAVARIA
(STOHOFEN STONE ).
CHROMA TECHNOLOGY
RAK Ceramics has acquired from one of
the leading equipment manufacturer in
Italy, the CHROMA Universal Press Feeding
System, for the production of porcelain tiles
with high aesthetic value. The technology
can be applied to any type of press. It
combines aesthetic quality with a high
production speed, meeting the ceramic
manufacturer‘s twin requirements of
quality & productivity.
Chroma technology allows for a wide ranging aesthetic affect, and at
the same time is efficient & more productive than conventional single &
double layer press feeding systems.The possibility of feeding the press
mould with spray dried bodies and glazes as well as micronised powders
make it possible to produce tiles with ”travertine”, “veined”, and varied
colour effects. The tiles can be produced in smooth, lapped, textured and
polished verison without the need to alter tehir design in any way. The
polishing processs that is after needed to make the design visible on the
surface is no longer required for tiles using CHROMA. The aesthetic effect
is visible immediately after the pressing phase, with no need for additional
processes.
CHROMA technology is one of the most advanced press feeding system for
production of porcelain tiles. It is also highly a flexible technology meeting
the needs of both through bodied and glazed porcelain tile production.
Beautiful series of tiles in Chroma technology had been manufactured in
TWIN PRESS (Double Pressing Technology)
This technique involves first pressing step that forms the semi-compact body, in which layers of powder decoration are
applied, followed by the actual or final pressing. The importance of double pressing certainly lies in the limitless possibility
of creating new “Gres Porcellanato” tile products, whether glazed or unglazed, in the pressing stage and of developing
products with effects that aesthetically give no reason to envy rustic or polished natural stone. This also helps to reproduce
semi-precious stone such as Quartz. These models are available in both Unpolished and Polished finishes.
TECHNOSLATE
The name “TECNOSLATE” identifies a new technological process, which is a major innovation in the field of Porcelain tile; a
system capable of producing through-bodied vein effects on textured rustic tiles. With this new technology, the tile comes
out of the press with the veins already visible, making it possible to create all kinds of products, from smooth surfaces
(which may undergo final polishing) to textured surfaces. These products are available in Unpolished finish only.
EASY OXIDE MIXING or DRY OXIDE MIXING
This is the latest technology for the production of “Gres Porcellanato” tiles with high aesthetic levels and to obtain multiple
colour combination. This process involves the production of coloured powders by means of mixing dry colouring oxides to
the base body granules to get uniform coloured granules.
The above chart shows how RAK Ceramics invested regularly in high technology in the porcelain tiles field to meet
