KBH Ceramic Connect

  • Use of ceramic slabs established in landscaping
  • Structural target thickness is increasing – ceramics become exceedingly cost-intensive
KBH solution
  • Thin ceramic slab connected to strong load-bearing concrete blank
  • Paver machine used for production of blanks
  • Bonding ceramics to concrete blank takes place on wet side
  • Installation on green field sites and as retrofit in existing plant configurations
  • Modular system allowing for low initial investment
  • Patents pending
Starting material
  • Load bearing blank made of base mix according to KBH specification
  • Ceramic slab
  • Special adhesive developed in cooperation with KBH (available worldwide)
Process
  • Ceramic slab is transported face down through KBH adhesive application unit
  • Glue is applied
  • Slab rotation unit presents face up to the bonding robot
  • Bonding robot picks up prepared slab
  • Placement of ceramic slab on fresh (green) concrete blank
  • Special bonding technique developed by KBH to activate the adhesive
  • Completed product layers travel into the curing chamber system to allow for the bonding process – no time constraint for process, more effective bonding
Semi-automatic or fully-automatic handling
  • Version 1 - Manual unpacking of ceramic slabs and placement on adhesive application conveyor
  • Version 2 - Fully automatic unpacking station and robot slab handling on to adhesive application conveyor
Technical data
  • Cycle time product layer consisting of # 4 slabs: approx. 20 seconds
  • Adhesive tensile strength 1.8 N/m² (e.g. approx. 60 tons for a 60 x 60 cm slab)
  • 30 % - 40 % cost saving compared to solid ceramic slabs
