SLAB POLISHERS AND TILE POLISHERS FOR MARBLE AND GRANITE: WHAT THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY ARE USED FOR
In the field of marble and granite processing, there are many machines that can be used to polish the slabs. In this article we will see what slab polishers and strip polishers are and what they are for. The polishers we deal with are essential for the execution of many processes on materials such as marble, granite, quartz, concrete, agglomerate or composite stone. Some polishers can process other types of materials.
SLAB POLISHERS FOR MARBLE AND GRANITE
A marble and granite polisher is a machine suitable for polishing the slabs during the marble and processing phases. It usually consists of a conveyor belt (which can be automated) where the slabs are placed. In addition to the conveyor belt, it is usually composed of a bridge (or more) in which spindles are placed to polish the material.
Each slab polisher can create different types of finishes such as: polished, honed, bush-hammered and brushed. The measurements of the slabs can vary in length from about 1 meter to more than 2 meters and in thickness from about 1 cm upwards. This type of machinery can carry out manual or automatic processes. The slab is positioned on the conveyor belt, after which (either manually or automatically, depending on the machine) by means of the polishing heads placed on the bridges, it will be worked on its entire surface.
STRIP/TILE POLISHERS
The strip polisher is used to polish, hone, bush-hammer and brush marble and granite. Specifically, it is suitable for working slabs with a reduced width compared to the classic polishers. With these machines, it will be possible to obtain finished and ready-to-lay tiles. Also in this case, we can divide the machines by method of use: Automatic and Semi-Automatic.
