Rock slab is a kind of natural raw material that is pressed by a press with more than 10,000 tons, combined with advanced production technology, and fired at a high temperature above 1200℃. It can withstand cutting, drilling, grinding and other processing processes. It is a kind of super large size Specification facing plate. Marble is a metamorphic rock formed by the original rock in the earth's crust through high temperature and high pressure in the earth's crust. It is a medium-hard stone, mainly composed of calcite, limestone, serpentine and dolomite. What are the advantages and disadvantages of these two materials, and what equipment is needed to process this type of plate?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of rock slab and marble?

1.Advantages:

Compared with traditional ceramic tiles, rock slab is lighter in weight and thinner. It has the advantages of large specifications, strong moldability, diverse patterns, anti-fouling and durability, fire resistance and high temperature resistance, zero formaldehyde, environmental protection, and simple construction. Compared with slate materials, marble has a dense texture but low hardness. It is easy to process, sculpt, grind, and polish. It has a fine and firm texture and is smooth and mirror-like after polishing. The texture is more stretched and beautiful than granite, and is resistant to pressure. The intensity is higher.

2. Disadvantages:

The price of rock slabs in the decoration industry is relatively high, and it has been emerging in China soon. The market is limited. Most people don't understand it. It depends on whether the public can accept it. Because of the weight of marble, it is not easy to mount the wall. When the two pieces are connected, the gap is large, and the connection is difficult, so it is impossible to make seamless splicing; the permeability is also high, and the stains are difficult to clean; the elasticity is insufficient, and it will be easy to crack. In addition, the impurity "calcium carbonate" in marble is affected by carbon dioxide, carbides, and moisture in the atmosphere, and it is also easy to weather and dissolve, and the surface loses its luster quickly. It is generally only used for interior decoration.

What equipment is used to process rock slab and marble?

Generally, there are special equipment for processing this kind of plates. If you want one equipment to process two materials, it is the AC five-axis waterjet cutting machine of Hongyun Rock Plate Ceramics Machinery. The waterjet cutting machine developed by Hongyun is aimed at different customers. For large plate thickness, the advanced infrared height measurement technology can effectively and quickly measure the actual distance between the cutter head and the plate. The cutter head is automatically adjusted during the cutting process to make the cutting more precise. In the same cutting process, Shiyuan AC five-axis can achieve multi-angle cutting from 0-78 degrees, especially up to +90 degrees. Make the cutting more diversified and the actual use more extensive. With imported 3D software, it can realize cutting on 3D curved surface. Widely used in stone, ceramic slabs, ceramic thin slabs, rock slabs and other processing industries, mainly making kitchen countertops, wash basins, sinks, parquet, metal cutting, etc.
