XXL Magnum Roughing from Ancora Group on display at Tecnargilla

Ancora Group, a company specialising in plant and machinery for the ceramic tile end-of-line stage, unveiled a number of new products at the recent trade fair Tecnargilla, including the XXL Magnum Roughing machine.

Based on a different technological concept to that of roller machining units and mobile beam-mounted radial grinding wheels, the new roughing machine uses individually driven radial grinding wheels mounted on a large-size rotating carousel. The large diameter of the carousel means that it can process panels up to 2.2 metres in size with greater efficiency and to an extremely high standard of quality.

At the Rimini show Ancora also presented the latest version of its Vulcan B5 burner. Developed in cooperation with Nanoprom, a company specialising in advanced nanotechnology solutions for several Formula One motor racing teams, the innovation consists of a treatment to further improve efficiency and reduce consumptions of the Ancora Vulcan B5 burner.

At Tecnargilla Ancora also showcased the latest HiCOAT innovation developed in cooperation with the German chemicals company N-Tec. The new treatment system protects both polished and honed porcelain from dirt and wear and ensures an outstanding gloss level, further enhancing the floor's aesthetic qualities.
