THE CLIENT
Ultimate Stone is a stone fabrication plant processing natural stone, man-made quartz and porcelain.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
- Trial Chemforce S-Complex™, cutting 2 types of hard quartzite – Taj Mahal and Iceberg using a Sabre Jet XT Bridge Saw.
- Achieve a higher cutting speed by dosing the water to the saw with a small amount of S-Complex.
- Optimize the Zenesis blade to maintain optimal sharpness and cleaner cuts with fewer blowouts.
CHEMFORCE™ S-Complex™ SOLUTION
The water feed to the Sabre Jet XP bridge saw was directly dosed with 0.8% S-Complex™ using a Dema inline injector dosing pump.
Increased Cutting Performance Taj Mahal Quartzite
Typical cutting speed with fresh water 30 inches/Min
With 0.8% S-Complex™ 135 inches/Min
Increase in cutting speed x 4.5
Increased Cutting Performance Iceberg Quartzite
Typical cutting speed with fresh water 20 inches/Min
With 0.8% S-Complex™ 95 inches/Min
Increase in cutting speed x 4.75
After the trial, Ultimate Stone used the S-Complex™ to cut a full kitchen project from Iceberg Quartzite in 12 minutes, which would usually take 1 hour.
