Seminar on Stone Processing Technology & Equipment

Event Details

• Date: March 18, 2005
• Location: Xiamen, China
• Organized by:
  • China Crema Marfil Limestone Stone Association
  • Italian Marble Association
  • International Marble Association
  • Italian Foreign Trade Commission

Key Highlights

At the seminar, Italian representatives—primarily from renowned Italian stone machinery manufacturers—introduced:

• The development history of stone machinery.
• The types of stone machinery used for mining, processing, polishing, and maintaining crema marfil limestone.
• Italian stone machinery culture and mechanical properties.
• The future direction of stone machinery development.

Environmental Considerations & Advanced Processing Technology

During the event, Mr. Paul, an Italian representative, emphasized a major concern:

Concerns About Traditional Fillers

• Traditional crema marfil limestone processing used polyester fillers containing benzene and phenol, which are harmful to human health.
• Due to increasing international environmental standards, this method is being phased out.

Solution: Epoxy Resin as a Filler

To address these concerns, epoxy resin has become the preferred advanced processing technology to improve the quality and durability of crema marfil limestone.

Advantages of Epoxy Resin Treatment

1. Enhanced Water & Oil Resistance

2. Increased Mechanical Tensile & Compressive Strength

3. Improved Surface Finish After Polishing

4. More Uniform & Brighter Color Appearance

Processing Technology Breakdown

The specific processing workflow is divided into three key stages:

1. Surface Pre-Polishing

Issue:

• Crema marfil limestone has a loose structure and poor surface flatness after sawing.
  
• If glue is applied before proper surface treatment, the resin cannot effectively adhere, leading to suboptimal results.

Solution:

• The stone undergoes pre-polishing using No. 1 and No. 2 abrasives.
  
• This ensures the surface is basically flat, with concavities and convexities not exceeding 0.20mm.
