IT’S UP TO ALL OF US TO INNOVATE SUSTAINABLY

YOUR NEXT CERAMIC PLANT

We invest in cutting-edge research, directing technological and digital innovation towards  sustainable production processes. A circular process is designed to restore and renew its own sources of materials and energy, wasting as little as possible. This goal can only be obtained by optimizing the entire production plant.

BENEFITS THROUGHOUT THE LINE

IT’S UP TO US TO SAVE ENERGY

A perfectly circular process can only be achieved by optimizing the entire plant. That’s why we strive to lower consumption and optimize production processes, every day. With SACMI, manufacturers can achieve annual gas savings of up to 20% and electricity savings of up to 14%.
Together, those savings equal the energy consumed by 1,000 families.
Reduce CO2 emissions while lowering energy consumption.

IT’S UP TO US TO SAVE ENERGY

RETHINKING THERMAL PROCESSES

All ceramic companies strive to use heat efficiently inside the factory.
We help our customers do so by taking a global approach to optimize manufacturing costs and ensure ceramic manufacturing remains sustainable.

RETHINKING THERMAL PROCESSES

BENEFITS AT EVERY STAGE OF PRODUCTION

POWDER PLANT
This is where we reuse as much heat and raw material as possible to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
FORMING
Continua+ innovations protect the environment, save energy and safeguard workers’ health. In traditional pressing, the Energy Saving Pack for PH presses reduces power consumption.
DECORATION
Decoration is a crucial step in creating high-value ceramic products. Our systems not only guarantee exceptional quality but also utilize sustainable inks.
FIRING
Saving energy at the drying and firing stages is of paramount importance in order to contain emissions and optimize costs.

SMART POWDER PLANT

SPRAY DRYERS LOWER CO2 EMISSIONS

Consumption can be cut further by extending heat flow optimization to spray drying. We design processes that optimize energy efficiency by moving heat from the kiln chimneys to the spray dryer. SACMI equips these solutions with automatic adjustment systems to maximize efficiency at all times. Over a year, using retrieved energy on the spray dryer and mill can save as much CO2 as that emitted by 2,270 air conditioners.

SACMI MILLS LOWER THE IMPACT ON AQUIFERS

Our clay grinding processes significantly reduce water and chemical (deflocculant) consumption. We design solutions that re-use hot water from the cogenerator water-air heat exchangers by delivering it to the mills, making clay grinding more sustainable. Over a year, using retrieved energy on the spray dryer and mill can save as much CO2 as that emitted by 2,270 air conditioners.

THE PH ENERGY SAVING PACK
REDUCES PRESS POWER CONSUMPTION

It’s up to us to reduce consumption. That’s why we’ve developed the Energy Saving Pack, which provides a remarkable 25% reduction in press power consumption = up to 250,000 kWh of electricity saved per year per press, equivalent to the average energy bill of 100 households.
It also provides an improved energy efficiency index (COS PHI) by reducing reactive power demand and related additional costs.
