RAK Ceramics, a well-known manufacturer in ceramics, has inaugurated a cutting-edge slab production facility in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, equipped with the advanced Continua+ PCR 2180 technology. This strategic investment enhances the company’s capabilities in producing large-format slabs, reinforcing its commitment to innovation and sustainability, says RAK Ceramics.
The facility features a 300m kiln and integrates smart manufacturing processes, including automated quality control and digital glazing technologies. These advancements enable high-definition designs and efficient production with minimal waste, says the company.
It adds: “Sustainability is at the core of this development. The facility utilises a seven-layer horizontal dryer powered by total heat recovery from the kiln, significantly reducing fuel consumption. Additionally, the automated packaging line employs shrink hood wrapping, enhancing efficiency and reducing material usage.
Says the company: “With an annual production capacity of four million sqm, the facility can produce slabs up to 180x360cm in size and thicknesses ranging from 6mm-20mm. Standard sizes include 162x324cm at 12mm thickness, with mesh reinforcement applied to all 162x324cm slabs for enhanced durability.”
Group CEO Abdallah Massaad stated: “Our commitment to innovation and sustainability is at the core of our growth strategy. The launch of our exclusive slab production facility reflects our dedication to advanced, efficient, and environmentally responsible manufacturing.”
This milestone is described by the company to position RAK Ceramics at the forefront of sustainable and innovative slab manufacturing, delivering “superior quality and design possibilities” to its global clientele.
