Each line is designed as a cog within a larger system: fluid, coordinated, and precise. Automation optimizes processes, improving results and quality.
An automated line is born from a precise design, where nothing is left to chance: behind every detail lies research, passion, and the coordinated work of a team that shares the same goal: to offer the best solution for every customer.
Designing an automated line means analyzing each customer’s production process down to the smallest detail, focusing on medium- to long-term objectives to optimize production times, reduce waste, and increase the efficiency of the entire process.
But that’s not all. Thanks to the experience and know-how we’ve gained over time, we offer innovative, intelligent, and highly productive solutions, where each element is perfectly integrated with the rest of the line.
Systems for the complete processing of strips, from cross-cut and longitudinal cutting to surface finishing with automatic loading, unloading and transfer systems.
An example of a fully automated, high-productivity slab processing line. Automatic slab loading with a sorting system; quality selection with a laser selection system; longitudinal cutting, calibration, and cross-cutting for strips; trimming and lateral polishing for skirting boards.
We have built several systems for processing concrete products of various sizes and finishes. An anthropomorphic robot equipped with a special gripper loads the raw material into the line and unloads the finished package of processed and strapped material onto special pallets. The line performs the main processes, such as top calibration, top polishing, shaping, and profile sanding; this is followed by washing, drying, quality control, stacking, and strapping. Upon exit, the entire pallet is strapped.
Within each line, the product must be moved several times, aligned on material guides for lateral processing, or rotated 180° to process both the upper and lower surfaces. Furthermore, due to space and footprint constraints, it must often be transferred using roller conveyors or orthogonal conveyors.
Our systems are often equipped with solid gantry palletizers for loading and unloading strips of material to be processed and finished tiles.
Loading and unloading on many of our lines is done by six-stage anthropomorphic robots. Equipped with suction cups or pneumatic clamps, they can perform the laborious work that would otherwise be performed by operators.
Before the material exits the line, a packaging and strapping system ensures that the material remains stable once it leaves the line.
DONATONI's extensive range of accessories for production lines includes various finished product washing and cleaning systems, such as high-pressure washing stations, water brushes, and roller brushes. Finished product drying systems, following washing and cleaning operations, include the application of electric fans and powerful compressors.
DONATONI's range of accessories for production lines includes trolleys for collecting waste material; conveyor belts for scraps; and automatic waste expulsion systems from the production line.
