Machine to Turn Slabs and Machine to Turn Blocks

Two essential tools in the quarry

The Slabs Turner has the function of turning slabs, being possible to load it directly on the cutting table. By loading the slab directly onto the cutting edge, The Machine to turn Slabs – also known as Altair – eliminates the use of forklifts for the same purpose. As an equipment designed and produced specifically for turning slabs, with a robust structure and hydraulic cylinders, it can handle stone slabs up to 10 tons. It reduces the amount of broken slabs during the working period, increasing its safety and profitability. In addition to eliminating the use of forklifts, Altair also reduces fuel costs in companies, as this equipment automatically stops the engine at the end of the job.

Regarding the Machine to Turn Blocks – also known as Volans –, its function is to turn blocks in quarries or in the factory. Allows you to easily turn the stone block to the right position for cutting or transporting. It keeps the edges of the block intact, as the nylon bars are in contact with the block, which provides a more sensitive support to the block. Volans makes it possible to inspect all sides of the block - in order to verify its quality -, which makes it possible to reduce waste in the quarry. With a robust structure and hydraulic cylinders, it handles stone blocks up to 45 tons. Further more, like the Altair, it has automatic engine shutdown, reduces enery consumption

In conclusion, Volans and Altair promote more efficient, faster and safer work for workers and the company.
