Technology for the production of MARBLE FROM CONCRETE (granite, malachite)

Production technology of MARBLE FROM CONCRETE (granite, malachite)

Our advanced technology for the production of architectural concrete is based on unique solutions in the field of semi-dry molding with a low water-cement ratio. This process ensures the creation of products with exceptional physical and mechanical characteristics and impeccable appearance.

The technology allows us to produce a wide range of products, such as:

  • Paving slabs
  • Facing stone
  • Fences
  • Fireplaces
  • Balusters
  • Vases
  • Monuments
  • Architectural structures
  • Texturing with colored concrete: bricks, gas silicate and foam concrete blocks, foam plastic

Unsurpassed color palette

In addition to outstanding physical and mechanical properties, our technology provides the ability to create complex color solutions. Regardless of the size or shape of the product, we can imitate any artificial or natural material, including marble, granite, malachite, etc.

Operating principle

The technology consists of removing air from the concrete mixture using a planetary concrete mixer. The mixture is then fed to a vibrating table with horizontal vibration, which ensures uniform distribution of the mixture and compaction of the casting.

Physico-mechanical properties

Thanks to our innovative policy, our products have excellent physical and mechanical characteristics:

  • Compressive strength: from B40 (M600) to B90 (M1200) and higher;
  • Hardening speed: strength after a day of natural hardening is at least 25-30 MPa;
  • Water resistance: W15 and above;
  • Frost resistance: F700 and above;
  • Abrasion: no more than 0.2-0.3 g/cm²;
  • Water absorption: 0.5-1% max;
  • Resistance to chloride penetration: high;
  • Gas tightness: high;
  • Deformability control: compensation of concrete shrinkage in the early stages of hardening.
