+33% production capacity and Industry 4.0 automation
The installation of new multi-wire saws and CNC machines had turned the existing plant into a bottleneck. The 180 m³/h capacity was no longer sufficient to ensure production continuity.
The technical challenges
Growing volumes
The need to increase treatment capacity to 240 m³/h.
Sludge variability
Managing marble and granite residues simultaneously.
Chemical efficiency
Reducing the high consumption of coagulants and flocculants.
Manual management
Eliminating human error and reducing plant downtime.
The solution: tailor-made engineering
We designed an integrated and modular system capable of communicating in real time with the production lines:
PRX-6100/170000 Clarifier
High-efficiency clarification for flow rates of up to 240 m³/h.
PRX-1000/20 Automatic Filter Press
For continuous sludge dewatering and dry cakes ready for disposal.
Smart Automation
PLC control panel with automated supervision and Industry 4.0 data monitoring.
Intelligent Dosing
Automatic reagent preparation system designed to optimize chemical costs.

Technology
Physical clarification + Automated filter press dewatering
Process water
Water containing marble and granite dust is collected and sent to the treatment system.
Solid-liquid separation
Thanks to automatic flocculant dosing, the solids settle rapidly and the water becomes clear again.
Sludge dewatering
The sludge is compressed into dry cakes, ready for cost-effective disposal.
Water ready for reuse
The clarified water is returned to the cutting machines, closing the loop.
Results and economic impact
-20% operating costs
Thanks to optimized energy and chemical consumption.
24/7 continuity
Elimination of downtime caused by the accumulation of dirty process water.
Disposal cost savings
Drier sludge and reduced disposal volumes.
Sustainability
Closed-loop water cycle with full recovery of the water resource.
