STORM SERIE LS

SOLTEK is a new name and a new reality in the market of processing machinery for ceramic tiles, in particular glazed stoneware tiles.

To be a new name for SOLTEK does not mean to be a newcomer to the ceramic world; SOLTEK is the result of an internal division of one corporate branch of CO.ME.S. srl, that for years has been a leader in the manufacture of polishing and honing heads for ceramics and granite and driving gears.The technical knowledge and the experience gained by CO.ME.S. in over 40 years working in mechanics and in particular in the manufacture of granite and ceramic polishing heads are the starting point of the newly-founded SOLTEK.

The ongoing development of the tile processing industry and the need to offer a more and more accurate and efficient customer service has led CO.ME.S. to develop a new, totally-independent company which totally specialises in the ceramic industry.

Accessories

Valves
Matec’s silos include a group of high-quality accessories, which improve their performance and guarantee their operation and long life. Automatically- and manually-operated valves for decanter silos, and pipes used for mortar batching in granite gang-saws. The automatically- and manually-operated valves are all coated in a special rubber sheath. The automatic valves can have one or two chambers. The automatic valves are all air-operated.

Pumps
The silo-feeding pumps are essential in order to pump the dirty water from the well into the silo decanter. Matec supples all kind of pumps starting from the ones for the highly corrosive and abrasive liquids to the ones for the clarified water with a capacity range from 100 lt/min to 10.000 lt/min.

Silos
Vertical decanters:
Based on the principle of static decantation and the natural precipitation of suspended solid particles, they speed up the clarification process through perfectly-sized silos, with a thrust cone and a water column which presses the sludge, and the use of an appropriate polyelectrolyte (flocculant). Matec offers the quickest clarification process for any type of wastewater.

Horizontal decanters (scraper bridge):
Ideal for large water flows, they have a limited height and are provided with an upper sludge thickening system. They are operated by a scraper-blade bridge, which pushes the sludge, which settles down to the bottom and is pushed out. The sludge is fed out automatically and the out-feeding operation is adjusted to the bridge effort. The sludge thus condensed can be disposed of into artificial lakes, quickly filtered by the filter press system.

“3+3” Calibrating Head

3+3 is a radial head with 6 tool holder shafts where can be fitted abrasive resin diamonds and diamond tools to hone porcelain ceramic and lapato tiles.
It is this two ductile iron crankcase. Gears and internal gears made of special materials heat-treated.
The thrust of work is held by flange motorcycle transmission. The fixed flange to keep only the pair of reaction without being stuck rigidly to rorpo machine.
The key feature of this head is the strength of all components designed to withstand very demanding applications and extreme operating conditions.
3+3 your head allows you to work across a large area of the other heads, with the possibility of changing the operating points from the three external tools.
The 3+3 puts in combined rotation 6 different tools and each of them has a different point of contact, with 6 different contact inclinations with regard to the reference radial that passes through the centre of the tools and the centre of the head.
Therefore there are 6 different working signs, that tend to cross each other and combine rotation and the lateral move of the head system.

TS3 Calibrating Head

The TS3 head has been designed to finish granite and ceramic surfaces once gauged by calibrating heads or rolls.
You may even use it as an excellent calibrating head if you add coarse-textured diamond tools.
But it has been specifically designed and developed to finish surfaces that have been gauged by aggressive tools.
As everyone knows, the calibrating process carried out in the first few polishing stations by aggressive tools to remove material or by diamond rolls or radial heads (especially before granite-strip polishing machines or ceramic polishing machines) leaves more or less deep marks, and the surface is not always perfectly gauged and levelled out. That is why the TS3 has been designed to finish and improve the work of the calibrating heads.
The 3 satellites are 200 mm in diameter, with a marked slope, so it can work not on just one point of the satellite (as opposed to the standard satellite calibrating heads with 5 or 6 satellites, 150 mm in diameter) but all across the radius of the tool, which, with its marked slope, will touch up the surface of the material with a large section of the tool (all across the radius) and very powerfully (steep slope). Obviously, any surface marks and flaws are further gauged and levelled out, thus providing a perfect, flawless planar surface, as well as optimising the use of diamond on the next heads, helping save some stations and start off even before using abrasives for the finishing/polishing process. This means more abrasives are used in the finishing process. So, in other words, the TS3 helps improve not only the calibrating results but also the glossy finish of the material.
