Fundamental to the whole operation is the slab inspection and storage process.  A 6.3tonne overhead gantry crane unloads each slab, which is inspected twice to assure quality. Bar coding ensures traceability and then slabs are automatically loaded onto a photo-station where any defects are marked before being digitised and transferred to the racking system.

The automated saw line is capable of cutting 20m of material per minute and incorporates a secondary saw to cut slots for the re-inforcement rods. Two twin bed CNCS, each weighing 9.5 tonnes are now in place and two edge polishers with 6 edge polishing and champfering positions will guarantee flawless results.
