| Fully
automated sawing operations – when energy rates are lowest, reliable tools
are key
High-performance tools guarantee that vertical sawing operations are completed
during evening and night hours when energy rates are lowest. A less efficient
set of tools cannot complete the operation within the desired time, introducing
additional costs into the
production process.
In this case, the vertical cutting operation was completed in a fully automated
sawing operation when electricity rates were at their lowest, achieving an 11%
reduction in electricity cost.
- Increase of production output 13%
- Decrease of production costs 15%
Significant and immediate advantages are achieved through the use of high-performance
diamond tools. The entire tile manufacturing process showed an increased productivity
of 13% plus a 15% lower production cost. Recognizing and analyzing the hidden
cost factors in a production plays a major role in reducing overall costs as well
as improving the total quality control process.

Professional
cost analyses program from Diamond Innovations
The implementation of a total cost model allows a process engineer to fully
understand and quantify the cost structure as well as the benefits of using premium
diamond tooling.
Diamond Innovations has developed a specific computer program to compare the production
costs of two different sets of tools in any given sawing process. If you are interested
in an advanced cost evaluation for your individual stone processing plant, please
contact your local Diamond Innovations representative.

Determining
Sawability – special laboratory service of Diamond Innovations
Different degrees of sawability
have a dramatic influence on the performance and life of diamond tools. Diamond
Innovations has developed a system to calculate the sawability of any given type
of stone material. This testing method is highly recommended when large contracts
are at stake in new stone types.
