Trebax - Stampistica d'avanguardia | the isostatic trebax punch

MATERIALS AND WORKING LIFE: The TREBAX PUNCH is made from the best European steel and bonded together with a special welding for a very high resistance to wear, hence for a longer working life of the same.

RELIABILITY: Contrary to traditional isostatic punches, the "Sandwich" concept of the TREBAX PUNCH entirely removes the problems tied to breakages, since powder never comes in direct contact with the isostatic chamber as this is protected by the rubber membrane and by the above standing interchangeable punch.

UNIFORMITY OF PRESSURE AND DENSITY: Through compensation of a single isostatic chamber the TREBAX PUNCH applies to the product a single and uniformly spread pressing density, with the consequential uniform absorption of the enamel application.

MARKETING: As it features a single isostatic chamber, which removes all geometrical ties connected with underside design, it can best underline all technical and esthetical aspects. There will not be any depression or undulations. An added value for the product in esthetical terms.

REPLACEMENT: The TREBAX PUNCHES are of the throw away type: when first supplied, assembled punches and isostatic bases complete of membrane will be supplied. Once worn down, only the interchangeable punches will be replaced, but the isostatic block will remain the same. In case of load application faults, which can entail a loss of oil, contrary to traditional isostatic punches for which replacement is required, the TREBAX PUNCHES will only require the changing of the interchangeable membrane and the punch will be re-installed and used until its complete wearing out. This obviously means very conspicuous savings.

REDUCE YOUR COSTS: The exceptional robustness and the particular functioning concept of the Trebax punches will enable the creation of very deep cavities inside the tiles, with the ensuing saving on raw materials: up to 3 Kg of powder per square meter. For ex.: on a 45x45 format, by increasing the underside grooves by only 0,5 mm, a weight reduction per tile of 225 gr is obtained. On the basis of a production of 5000 square meters per day, the quantity of saved powder per year will be around 16.800 hundredweights (1.680 tons). A very large saving indeed. Without obviously taking into consideration the saving on expenses for row materials transportation and tiles.

As the TREBAX PUNCH consists of 3 different parts - punch, membrane, isostatic base - for each production type different versions can be designed, as well as for the solution of any possible defect on the same tile.

RANGE OF TYPES

COMPACT Trebax punch: for any type of powder (enamelled or not enamelled).
TECNICO Trebax punch: for technical products generally for porcelain stoneware (dressed, lapped, etc.).
IDEA Trebax punch: for bi-pressed technical products made from porcelain stoneware.
BIG Trebax punch: for technical porcelain stoneware products of large sizes.

TECHNICAL AND ECONOMICAL ADVANTAGES

Considerable reliability of the isostatic chamber.
Single isostatic surface, hence a density and pressing uniformity.
No ties with the drawing of the underside.
Removal of the "transparency effect".
High mechanical resistance of the tile.
Constant gauges through the connection of punches.
Long lasting life of the punch and replacement of punches only after their complete worn out.
Replacement of the punch and membrane carried out autonomously at your plant.
Highly practical to use and replacement of the worn components.
Saving of powder and consequent saving on the tile production costs and on transportation of the same tiles and powder.
As punches are of the throw away type, hence always new, there is the certainty that punches are always of the same thickness.
Prompt delivery times: the spare part is always ready in the Trebax vertical store. This avoids excessive ceramic stocks, which means reduced costs.
