Multiwire machine for sawing stone blocks

Multi diamond wire machine to saw slabs in thicknesses of 20 mm, 30 mm, or more.
The structural robustness combined with the characteristic triangle system makes it possible to saw marble and granite blocks to make slabs of various thicknesses.

Breton Paragon

Reasons why

1

Various thickness slabs: 20, 30, 40, 50 mm or more
2

Isosceles triangle geometry to extend the wires lifetime
3

Load-bearing structure optimised to cancel vibrations
4

Simple and safe wires installation
5

High quality rubber profiles

The new generation triangle solution

Robust and accurate multiwire machine

Paragon was designed to minimise vibration during the cutting phase and guarantee the maximum precision in wire positioning in order to minimise wastage of material.

The isosceles triangle construction geometry, combined with the one metre diameter rollers, make it possible to optimise efficiency of the wire in contact with the material or in the free sections, reducing while also guaranteeing very high traction. The system with 5 rotary units is composed of the tension wheels unit, 2 low guide wheels, the drive wheel and the idle wheels set.

The high performance of the machine has tangible results in terms of production, wire lifetime, and maintenance of cutting positions. Also, with the “adjustable guide wheels”, also with small blocks, you can always use the machine in the best conditions in terms of the tangential direction of sawing.

Technological highlights

Linked to the main motor to transmit all the necessary power and, with its 1000 mm diameter, ideal to avoid stressing the wire.

/ 01

Drive wheel
Independent motorised positioning of the guide wheels is available as an optional feature. The guide wheels can be positioned close to the block (60 cm). This increases the quality of the resulting cut and brings the sawing structure vertical movement speed to the maximum values.

/ 02

Independent and motorised lower guide wheels
Each wire runs on an independent wheel that makes it possible to offset even minor length variations or stretching, which can otherwise cause different peripheral speeds with consequent damage of the rubber profiles or negative repercussions on the wire.

/ 03

Idle wheels set
The blend of the rubber profiles for Breton multiwire machines was developed by the BIT to guarantee the maximum performance and appropriate lifetimes to reduce routine maintenance times. The profiles are made in-house on a proprietary plant so Breton maintains absolute technological control of the process.

/ 04

Rubber profiles designed and produced in house
