Excellence in Resin Treatment Processes

Breton offers highly modular solutions that enable the flawless processing of extremely delicate and fractured materials.
Resin treatment of slabs is a crucial step in the modern stone industry.
This process combines the craftsmanship of stoneworking with chemical and engineering innovations, making it essential for enhancing the durability and reliability of natural stones.
The process involves applying specially formulated resins that penetrate and consolidate the material’s micro-imperfections.
The key phases of this process are as follows:

  • Drying of the material

  • Netting and back-side resin application

  • Back-side curing

  • Front-side resin application

  • Front-side curing

Resin coating lines with cyclic ovens

Breton offers resin coating lines with cyclic ovens.

Resin lines with three cyclic oven towers

Resin coating lines with triple tower ovens use three cyclic ovens, with capacity adapted to the material (e.g., 40 slabs for drying, 60 for polymerization).

Automation is ensured by Okto robots (direct loading from carts) and Ray robots (unloading), enabling fully automatic operation.

Technological highlights

  • Breton ovens ensure superior quality thanks to homogenous treatment for each slab and uniform drying and heating.

  • The Intellihot programme measures the temperature of the output slabs and optimally regulates the thermal regime of the oven chamber.

  • The Headstart function enables the oven heating system to be activated before the start of the shift. When the shift starts, the oven has already reached the desired temperature and you can start working without loss of time. In this way, all slabs will be treated under the same conditions and there will be consistency in the process.

  • This is the unit that dispenses epoxy resin component A and B in the desired weight ratio. The operator enters the required weight into the system via the touchscreen and the unit dispenses the epoxy components into a container via pneumatic valves. The weight is measured via a precision scale. There is a heatable chamber in the unit to prevent the components from freezing. Dosing by weight is far more accurate than volumetric systems and also eliminates the maintenance problems of mixers.

    Epoxy resin dosing unit

  • Up to 7 stone slab trays can be stacked in this unit to increase the time between the initial resin application phase and the subsequent check/retouch phase. After a certain amount of time, the epoxy resin passes to the gel phase - the incubation phase - and fresh epoxy resin is added to the slab to fill the cracks and voids that were previously revealed.

    Compensator for increased resin penetration time

  • Available in two different models (Breton Resin Bot and Resin Drone), Breton's multi-axis robots perform automatic dosing and spreading of resin or other products using a dedicated roller tool. These robots are characterised by their fast and accurate movements, a quality that, combined with simplified mechanics and maintenance, ensures their remarkable reliability.

    Multi-axis robots

  • Breton Okto is a fully automatic slab-loading robot that uses suction cups for gripping and moves on a suspended structure.

    It is equipped with three axes of movement (vertical, longitudinal translation, rotation) that allow precise positioning of the slab.

  • Breton Volta is the floor-mounted version of the plate handling robot.

    Its “projecting arm” configuration allows very fast cycles while maintaining smooth movements and ramps. Versatility is extended by optional accessories that allow, for example, the crossing of tracks, safe gripping on cracked materials (with dedicated pumps) and overcoming of trolleys (with increased vertical travel).

  • Breton Ray is the automatic trolley specifically designed for the gentle unloading of slabs.

    It is equipped with a tilting platform, the movement of which is controlled by hydraulic pistons operated by an on-board control unit. The slab is picked up and released by two movable supports, also hydraulically driven, which deposit it with precision on a special stand.
