How is a tile cut from the blocks?
In the event that the Block is in an irregular shape and dimensions, Bridge Saw Cutting Machine is used in order to cut the Block into the tiles with a determined thickness, commonly 2 cm. In this case, a set of multiple parallel steel disks are tasked to cut through the block and make the slices. Moreover, the cutting depth of the disks are defined according to the designed width of the tiles which is usually smaller than the height of the block. That's why another single horizontal disk is used in order to cut along the bottom line of each tile to separate it from the block. The length of the cutting lines made by the disks along the Block will be equal to the length of the final tiles. The distance between every two consecutive disks will also be representative of the thickness of the produced tiles. Depending on the type of the cutting block, travertine tile, marble (Type I) tile, marble (type II) tile,, granite tile, onyx tile, limestone tile and tra-onyx tile are produced and then are processed accordingly.
How is a tile processed?
Subsequent to the cutting process, all the tiles are placed in the processing line. It is worth mentioning that in case of tiles, making use of distinguished ovens and as a result epoxy resin is usually impossible in order to process the tiles. That's why the front face of the tiles are covered with poly-ester resin after being calibrated and then pre-heated by means of in-line ovens. This way, all the pores and holes onto the surface of the tiles are filled by resin. In this stage, in order to match the color of applied resin with the background color of the stone tiles, mineral pigments are used in the resin composition. Finally, all the tiles are processed by multiple sets of stone abrasives, in order to polish to the final stone finish . It needs to emphasize that the back of the tiles are not processed in this processing approach.
How is a tile cut into different sizes and dimensions?
After processing the tiles into the final stone finish , it is time to cut along the length and the width of the tiles in order to meet the standard sizes of 30*40, 30*60, 40*40, 60*40, 60*60 and so on. To do this, some disc-cutter machines are employed in order to bring the final sizes of the tiles into the standard sizes of flooring stone. steps, risers, kitchen tops and etc.
How is a tile packaged?
In the final stage, the tiles are ready to be packed into the palettes, In this case, the palettes are usually designed with wood and it is according to the dimensions, the number and the weight of the tiles. The solidity of the palettes are supported by the designed dimensions of the wooden bars used all around and in the bottom of the palettes. In addition, some kind of foam sheets are used in between the tiles while packaging. After placing the tiles into the palette, it is highly important for the palette to be compacted without any possible swings of the tiles inside, while transporting.
What are the QC steps for the tiles?
It is of utmost importance to do any possible QC operations on the tiles from the production time down to the packaging stage. This include analyzing all the technical parameters involved in tile productions in terms of processing quality, standards of dimensions, tolerances, possible chippings along the edges, edge profile quality, resin performance onto the tile surface, palette designs and any other possible factors that determine the ultimate quality of the final products.
The company Noavaran Sang Arya as a leading and prominent company in the realm of natural stone QC, is readily capable of taking full responsibility of the natural stone projects on the basis of a productive cooperation with a great variety of contractors in order for sourcing and procurement of any range of natural stones.
