A great granite stone production line involves a series of processes to efficiently extract, cut, polish, and finish granite blocks into high-quality slabs, tiles, countertops, or other stone products. Below is a detailed breakdown of an optimized granite production line:
—
1. Granite Quarrying & Block Extraction
– Diamond Wire Saw / Chain Saw Machines – Used to cut large granite blocks from quarries.
– Drilling Machines – For making holes for wire saw insertion.
– Block Handling Equipment – Cranes and loaders transport raw blocks to the factory.
2. Block Cutting (Primary Processing)
– Gang Saw / Multi-Blade Block Cutter – Slices large granite blocks into slabs (typically 2cm, 3cm thickness).
– Diamond Wire Saw Cutting Machine – For customized cutting of irregular blocks.
– Bridge Saw Machine – For precise cutting of smaller blocks into slabs or tiles.
3. Slab Processing & Calibration
– Automatic Polishing Line – Grinds and polishes slabs to a smooth, glossy finish (from rough to mirror polish).
– Resin Line (Optional) – Applies epoxy resin to fill natural fissures and enhance durability.
– Calibration Machine – Ensures uniform thickness across all slabs.
4. Tile & Countertop Production
– CNC Stone Cutting Machine – For precision cutting of countertops, vanity tops, and custom shapes.
– Waterjet Cutting Machine – Intricate designs and curves with minimal material waste.
– Edge Profiling Machine – Creates beveled, rounded, or decorative edges for countertops.
5. Surface Finishing Options
– Polished (Glossy)
– Honed (Matte)
– Flamed (Rough texture for outdoor use)
– Brushed (Antique look)
– Leather Finish (Soft texture)
6. Quality Control & Inspection
– Thickness measurement
– Color consistency checks
– Crack detection with UV light (for resin-treated slabs)
7. Packing & Logistics
– Anti-breakage foam and wooden crates for safe shipping.
– Custom packaging for tiles, slabs, or finished countertops.
