Diamond cutting line

for ceramicsgrindingmarking

Overview
Dry cutting line for fired ceramic tiles by Maincer fully eliminates the need for water to cool diamond tools, delivering higher productivity than wet cutting with a comparable surface finish. The line is configurable for different tile formats and production requirements and integrates three primary stages: marking, breaking and grinding/beveling. Maincer's solution simplifies operations while optimizing throughput and finish quality.

Key stages

• Marking: rollers score the glaze to define a controlled fracture line.
• Breaking: a pneumatic wheel applies pressure on the score to split the tile along the incision.
• Grinding/Beveling: separated pieces are routed to opposing grinding motor groups for finishing (one piece processed upward, the other downward).

Work sequence

• Operator loads a pallet into the automatic feeder; pieces are positioned on a roller conveyor and transferred to a belt conveyor.
• The belt conveyor feeds the marking module where rollers score the glaze.
• The breaking module uses a pneumatic wheel to fracture the tile along the score.
• Separated pieces are sent to opposing grinding motor groups for finishing.
• Finished pieces are delivered to stackers where they are piled and prepared for final packaging.

Advantages compared to wet cutting

• No water treatment equipment required.
• Lower maintenance due to absence of water in the process.
• Lower capital investment than a wet cutting line.
• No dryer or gas installation needed.
• Simpler workflow and reduced process complexity.
• Reduced consumable usage (diamond wheels).
• Potential reuse of generated powder in other processes.
• Equal or improved final surface finish.

Characteristics / technical specifications

• Process type: dry cutting for fired ceramic tiles (no water cooling of diamond tools).
• Main stages: marking (glaze incision), breaking (pneumatic wheel), grinding/beveling (opposing grinding motor groups).
• Target material: fired ceramic tiles.
• Material flow: automatic pallet feeder → roller conveyor → belt conveyor → marking → breaking → grinding → stackers.
• Marking system: rollers that score the glaze to facilitate fracture.
• Breaking system: pneumatic wheel applying pressure on the scored mark to fracture pieces.
• Grinding: opposing motor groups providing finishing (one piece upwards, the other downwards).
• Stacking: integrated stackers for piling and preparation for final packaging.
• Customization: line configurable for different tile formats and production requirements.
• Operational benefits: higher productivity than wet cutting, comparable finish quality, reduced infrastructure (no water treatment nor dryer), lower maintenance and lower consumable costs.
