Investment plan for production plant at Ras Al-Khaimah moves forward. New robotized glazing line for Sanitaryware Unit 1 just supplied, bringing to 10 the number of glazing robots installed. The newly started-up machine will be mainly dedicated to glazing complex WCs.
Rak Ceramics confirms its confidence in SACMI RobotGlaze systems for the automated glazing of its sanitaryware. Another investment has recently been completed for its Sanitaryware production plant 1, bringing to 10 the total number of SACMI-Gaiotto robots installed at the Ras Al-Khaimah factory.
The new SACMI glazing line consists of a 4-position carousel, with fully automatic piece loading and unloading carried out by means of bar conveyors and an angle transfer device. This system eliminates manual handling operations thus increasing efficiency and reducing waste.
Connected to the carousel is the latest generation SACMI-Gaiotto GA2000 robot, equipped with Mass Control® system, to regulate the glaze flow-rate, and with overspray recovery made possible by a water curtain filter. The robot uses the hugely popular SACMI GDA80 spray-gun for the spraying operations.
Mainly dedicated to the manufacture of complex WCs, this is a glazing line with a high production output and glazing times lower than 120 seconds for each piece. The robot supplied is also equipped with offline programming software to facilitate the implementation of new glaze recipes without disturbing line productivity.
“The world’s leading Lifestyle Solution Provider” is the slogan that aptly sums up the global brand positioning of Rak Ceramics which, with this latest investment, confirms its confidence in SACMI Sanitaryware technology.
