Blocks cutting of quartzite, granite and hard marble: from squared block to slabs production
Production of the raw slab: the central role of sawing in the processing of granite, quartzite and hard marble.
Blocks cutting is one of the crucial stages in the natural stone processing cycle. It enables the squared block to be transformed into rough slabs of various thicknesses, ready for subsequent treatments.
Depending on the type of material — marble, granite or quartzite — Big Graniti employs different technical solutions to ensure consistent quality, excellent yield and minimal waste.
Every material requires customised solutions: Big Graniti uses specialist machinery for each type of natural stone.
High-precision cutting technologies for thin, uniform slabs.
The machines are optimised to meet specific production requirements and incorporate automatic systems for inspecting, handling and positioning the blocks, enabling precise cutting even of the most complex types of granite.
Latest-generation machinery for precise cuts and thin slabs
Cutting is carried out using high-tech machinery fitted with diamond wires of varying diameters, producing thin slabs with clean edges and undamaged surfaces.
The use of advanced diamond wires and BIG Diamant ensures high performance, guaranteeing production standards that exceed the industry average.
Production efficiency and waste reduction
Each machine is calibrated to ensure millimetre precision, operational continuity and waste reduction.
With the multi-wire machine, a yield of 22/23 slabs per block is achieved, compared to the average of 20 with a traditional frame. A difference that represents a tangible advantage in terms of efficiency, sustainability and competitiveness.
