SITI B&T Group, manufacturer of complete ceramic systems, presents INNOVA: the FULL DIGITAL LINE by Projecta Engineering.A modular and flexible line, capable of opening new graphic frontiers in digital printing, thanks to the most innovative technologies for any size.

INNOVA GLAZE

Innova Glaze is the first solution of this digital printing process. A combined technology for glaze (smaltobbio) and protection, with Seiko 360 dpi definition heads with a laydown of 75 g/m² at 25 m/min, which guarantee a more uniform application offering greater versatility.

The digital application of the glaze (smaltobbio) through Innova Glaze 200 is 60g/m² without any loss of material. This result significantly affects consumption, so much so that it has a 1:5 ratio compared to traditional application. There is also the possibility of a further reduction in emissions with the use of water-based technology, with low environmental impact.

INNOVA - From today the digital decoration has a new name.

Projecta Engineerging set new standards for the digital printing. There are no more limits, nothing is impossible. Anything can be fixed on the ceramic surface with resolution up to 720 dpi and 3D digital structures on layers, to invent new forms of decoration in full creative freedom and with a flexibility never seen before.

This technology allows to realize high definition graphics thanks to the stabilized transport, which ensures maximum precision and stability to the slab transit.

The workflow is managed by a next-gen software (SMART DROP) which allows for the optimal distribution of the dots and the automation of the printing registration.

The new alignment system allows independent adjustment in positioning each individual head within the colour bars, thanks to a dedicated optical device, to obtain micrometric precision and achieve even higher definition.

Thanks to INNOVA by Projecta Engineering, Siti B&T Group achieved and important technological goal concretized by the total absence of banding and by the extraordinary depth of dark and uniform hues.

INNOVAFIX

Innovafix allows the application of adhesives for grit, innovative and complementary additives to complete and enhance the range of decorations that can be carried out on multiple layers.

This opens up new graphic frontiers on the digital structures, thanks also to the double glue application that allows the structure to be increased and new 3D effects to be explored

This technology has a glue consumption control and a new feeding system (double PIAB) on reverse call, with a pressure gauge to control the pressure and the vacuum switch, capable of discharging over 1000 gr/m² of grit. This allows a high amount of grit application to obtain the graphic effect called 'mirror effect'.

And not only: using Innovafix allows for less deformation and less breakage of the panel, thanks to the lower water content, and the reduction of the wear rate of the polishing discs.

Also in this case, the use of water-based glue translates into a significant reduction of emissions into the atmosphere and odours due to combustion, which completely disappear.

THE SMART FACTORY OF INTERCONNECTED SYSTEMS

The FULL DIGITAL LINE embraces the concepts of smart factories: in fact it can be fully integrated into the bt-TUTOR supervision software, the solution developed by SITI B&T that allows monitoring, data collection and control of the entire system, interacting with production planning, preventive and predictive maintenance, as well as being equipped with a compatible cloud support for mobile devices and a user friendly operator interface.

THE AESTHETIC EXCELLENCE OF THE PANELS

Thanks to the aesthetic contribution of the Full Digital Line and thanks to the innovative Supera® technology, SITI B&T Group is able to offer a new generation of panels never before seen on the market.

Panels with through veins, structures, thicknesses up to 30 mm, glossy products and digital finishes are just some of the aesthetic excellences that can be made. The only limit is fantasy.
