Can you tell me what’s behind this mirror-polished slab?
You can hardly see it: it’s the new high performance polisher Levibreton KFG for marble.
This polishing line is installed at Stocchero Attilio's, in Volargne (VR), one of our long-time customers who is very satisfied with the two newLevibreton KFG.
The first Levibreton KFG has 9 spindles and dresses marble slabs.
The maximum speed of the mobile beam is no less than 70 metres/minute.
Deriving from the design of the renowned polisher Levibreton KG for granite, which has a heavy-duty structure, specially dimensioned for granite, Levibreton KFG boasts a very high productivity.
The second Levibreton KFGhas 15 spindles and polishes marble slabs to perfection.
The new standard Levibreton KFG can be supplied with 11 and 18 spindles.
SAFE SECOND-HAND MACHINE, AN OPPORTUNITY NOT TO BE MISSED!
The granite cut technology by the diamond wires has spread only few years ago.
Therefore most of the multi-wire machines have worked very little and they are not for sale. One of our customer, which saws for third parties, has decided to buy new 6,3 mm multi-wire machines replacing the ones with 7,3 mm , which we are going to sell accordingly. GOLD MULTI-WIRE Machine with 35 wires , each with ø 7,3 mm, to saw at 3 cm thickness.
This second-hand machine, manufactured in 2009 and in excellent conditions; it has been sold after having been reconditioned, it has been repainted and rubberized where necessary, with 12-month full warranty.
Included in the price: - 2 revised trolleys with motorized wheels, capacity of 40 ton., from 2.200 x 3.000 mm. - New rails tot. 8 mt.
VERY INTERESTING PRICE !! For additional info and price please write to info@breton.it specifying : MULTI-WIRE GOLD.
We’ll get back to you promptly. Thank you for the attention and best regards. Bye-bye Sergio Prior
Levibreton KG 4000 Flat Diamondhas been specifically designed to
level the slabs without calibrating them first, thus minimizing the diamond
tool consumption and consequently the cost of transformation.
Since the measuring is performed on a stationary slab, it is possible
for a laser unit, which is installed just before the Levibreton KG 4000 Flat Diamondpolisher, to map the surface of each slab by pinpointing both the
highest and the lowest point of the surface.
For each slab, the 6 diamond-roller levelling spindles MC-6 of the
Levibreton KG 4000 Flat Diamond set automatically in sequence (mechanical
and not pneumatic positioning) to the most convenient height depending on the
removal capacity of each single MC/6 spindle, the distance between the highest
and the lowest point of the surface and the preset working speed of the belt,
thus making a significant contribution to the slab levelling.
The remaining pneumatic spindles, which are equipped with SG-8 heads
featuring 8 oscillating bricks, also contribute to get a better levelling of
the slab surface thanks to both the greater working diameter (510mm) and the 8
contact/working points of each head.
This results in perfectly levelled and polished slabs. By-by Sergio Prior
Through
its Vacuumbreton and Bretonstone plants for the manufacturing of compound stone
(www.breton.it), Breton has been applying the vacuum and structural resin
technology to the stone field since 1963.
In 1994 Breton was the first-ever
company that realised an automated plant for the vacuum resin-treating of
broken and/or cracked marble slabs by soaking them in resin (immersion in
resin).
In
1997, Bretonwas again the first to realise an automated plant for the vacuum
resin-treating of cracked marble and/or granite slabs, without immersion in
resin.
In its well-equipped R&D Dept., Bretoncontinuously studies and
develops new solutions for the application of structural resins to natural
marble and granite. Nowadays, Breton’s Know-How is a unique and enviable inheritance
in the field.
The vacuum resin-treating: a successful technology
Thanks
to the vacuum, air goes out from the narrow crack lines of stone where resin
penetrates more easily and deeply thus causing the slabs to be better restored.
Vacuum
resin-treated slabs get a better polishing since each single crack line, even
the narrowest, is filled up with resin. Furthermore, cracks saturated with
resin prevent any seepage of humidity entering from the floor.
Breton patented
and realised the plants for the vacuum resin-treating by spreading the resin on
the surface of marble and/or granite slabs (without immersion in resin), and
developed in its R&D Dept. both the formulation of the resins to be used
and the parameters involved in the process.
Breton transfers the complete
Know-How to operate the plant and use the resins to its customers, and trains
their operators as well.
In this picture it can be seen how the resin, purposely blue dyed to add contrast, has sunk in deep until the core of a marble slab, thanks to the vacuum.
Plant customised proposals
Breton weighs up the user requirements and offers him the most suitable plant and technological solution, customising its proposal. To-date,Bretonhas supplied a large number of resin-treating plants for marble and/or granite to customers operating both in Italy and abroad.
Supplied
plants include either small plants for low production capacities, or
medium and large plants designed for higher or mass productions.

The drying of slabs before resin-treating
Different techniques for the slab drying were tested (static hot-air drying with air dehumidification, hot-air passage, irradiation passage, static radio-frequency, etc.) and their advantages and disadvantages in terms of output and operating costs were crosschecked.
Breton suggests
the most suitable drying techniques according to the type of resin
used, the material to be resin-treated (marble or granite) and the
required production capacity.
As for the static hot-air drying with air
dehumidification, Bretondeveloped special multi-decker vertical kilns ensuring a “homogeneous” drying of all the slabs housed in the kiln.
The software controlling Breton’s resin-treating lines
A sophisticated plant composed of several sections such as a plant for the slab resin-treating, operates properly provided it is controlled by a suitable software.
Such control
software is another feather in Breton’s cap: up-to-date, flexible,
multifunctional, developed on the strength of several plants operating
in the world and featuring an easy to use and immediate user interface.
The peculiarities of Breton’s plants
An automatic slab resin-treating plant is composed of an ensemble of machines and equipment which, in their turn, are formed by single parts plus several small components. Each single part must operate properly and be long-lasting: this is the construction philosophy Breton adopts in the manufacture of its products as well as in the quality and functional choice of their components (electric, electronic, pneumatic components, heat generators, etc.).
Example of a plant for the net-reinforcing and vacuum resin-treating of marble slabs with polyester resin, with slabs returning to the loading point and moving on a conveyor placed under the processing line along its longitudinal axis.

The way slabs are stored is a common problem faced by the owners of marble and/or granite slab polishing lines each time they want to show their slabs to potential buyers, which in fact involves the following:
- the slab support A-frames take up a lot of room, - an effective system for identifying the slabs is required, - the overhead crane operator must take out from the slab pile the specific slab to be shown to the customer - lastly, the slab needs to be correctly placed again in the pile.
It was only with the introduction of Breton IMAGE PLUS (a system to acquire extra-high resolution photos of natural and compound stone slabs and to file, code and label them) that this way of operating has been radically redefined. It will take just a few minutes to have an image file showing all your stored slabs, with extra-high resolution and true colours!
What is Breton IMAGE PLUS? Breton IMAGEPLUS features
an advanced image digitizing technology using a high resolution
industrial linear camera and a LED lighting system, which are both
specially designed to render the real colours of the material.
The system sets up automatically according to the slab thickness and makes photos which are not affected by the lighting conditions in the surroundings.
The supply includes a control console complete with PC for photo display and coding; the system links some general information (material, colour, thickness, real and "commercial" dimensions that are set according to user-definable parameters, etc.) to each single photo. Information is stored inside a Microsoft-SQL database which is loaded in a server (not included in the supply). P.S. The quality of the photos displayed on the PC video depends on the quality and "colour setting" of the video.
LABELLING Breton IMAGEPLUS includes a printer of labels with bar code that are manually stuck to the slab surface by the operator (manual labelling). In the automatic version, the label printer sticks automatically the labels to the slab surface
