CASE STUDY / FICKERT FOR QUARTZITE

QUARTZITE POLISHINGITALY

A Carrara contract stone processor needed the freedom to run long quartzite production campaigns without changing material just to reopen the polishing tools.

THE RESULT IN ONE LINE

QUARTZITE ALL DAY.IF THAT’S WHAT PRODUCTION NEEDS.

No material changes for dressing. No compromises in the production schedule.

THE CHALLENGE

Production had to follow the tools.

A contract stone processor in Carrara works with many different materials and must constantly adapt production to customer orders. During periods dedicated entirely to quartzite, the polishing tools gradually closed, forcing the customer to interrupt quartzite production and process other, more abrasive materials simply to reopen them.

THE DIAMOND SERVICE SOLUTION

A Fickert made for continuous quartzite.

The customer tested Diamond Service Fickert for Quartzite, developed to maintain effective cutting action even during long, uninterrupted quartzite production runs.

THE RESULT

As much quartzite as production requires.

After switching to Diamond Service, the customer was able to process as much quartzite as required without introducing other materials into the production schedule simply to dress the tools.

WHAT CHANGED

THE TOOLS FOLLOWTHE PRODUCTION PLAN.

For a contract processor, flexibility matters. The production schedule should be determined by customer orders and materials to be processed — not by the need to dress the polishing tools.

Quartzite productionContinuous whenever the production schedule requires it.
Material changesNo forced changes simply to reopen the tools.
Production planningDriven by customer orders rather than dressing requirements.
Key benefitGreater flexibility for a contract stone processor working many different materials.
