Patented technology and plants for manufacturing the BRETONSTONE® BLOCKS

The Bretonstone® Blocks plants produce large-sized blocks which are made by combining and compacting the materials using a “vibrocompression vacuum process“. The stone mix consists of stone aggregates, fine mineral particles and organic based bonding agents.
Blocks measure 308x125x88 cm or 308x140x88 cm.
These blocks are then sawn into slabs measuring 308x125 or 140 cm, normally, with a finished thickness ranging from 9 mm to 30 mm or over if required.
These blocks and slabs can be sold as they are or the slabs can be transformed into finished products to the size required.
The stone materials constitute up to 96% of the weight of the finished product and are calcareous (marble, limestone, dolomite etc.) with sizes ranging even up to 60-90 mm.
The organic resin used as bonding agent is an unsaturated polyester resin compounded with additives to enhance adhesiveness.
The production rate, depending on the plant model and layout, varies from 1,500 square metres up to 8,000 square meters per working day.
