Porser Porselen Chooses Sacmi-Sama Equipment

Porser Porselen invests in new Sacmi-Sama presses and polishing technology, expanding production capacity and strengthening automation. 

The Turkish company Porser Porselen, with a long family tradition of ceramic craftsmanship, recently installed two new Sacmi-Sama PHO451 “Green” presses. Porser’s activities are centered on the manufacture of tableware which they sell all over the world. This includes their ID Fine brand that is renowned in the Ho.Re.Ca. sector. The investment focuses on quality, productivity, automation, and process repeatability. 

The PHO 451 is the latest-generation horizontal isostatic press designed to meet demanding customer requirements. Not only does this solution ensure high versatility in management of the production mix – plates, bowls and other round and non-round items – but it also guarantees the high quality and uniformity of the finished product, thanks to Sama’s isostatic pressing technology.   

Another example of the solution’s versatility is the mould filling system; in the configuration supplied to Porser it can be operated either by compressed air, as with Sama-developed technology, or by alternative systems such as vacuum filling. This offers high flexibility to use the different types of moulds available on the market. 

The PHO 451 “Green” consumes up to 30% less energy compared to conventional models. Each press supplied is served by Round Finishing Machines (RFM) for automatic finishing of round items. The entire system will enable Porser Porselen to increase its production capacity to up to 1000 pieces per hour, depending on the size and type of piece.  

In addition to the two presses and the automatic finishing system, the customer also purchased a second UPM-8, the Sacmi-Sama foot polishing machine. The UPM-8 is designed for foot polishing and can be set up with up to four stations. It can handle pieces of any shape, with diameters up to 400 mm and a height of 150 mm. The polishing process is carried out wet. The UPM-8 can be adjusted in many ways to ensure all the work processes carried out on the pieces are fully optimized. Additional settings enable use of the entire width of the polishing belt, thus increasing its working life.
