Traditional gang saw

Diamond wire saw

The falcon diamond wire plants are a valid alternative to the traditional big disk, mono blade saw and gang saw.
The potential users of the plant are all those who have, or intend in future, to organise medium or large-scale productions for squaring blocks and slab cutting.
The advantages with the Falcon wire saw are:

• Less power employed per each meter of cut, 30% less that traditional gang saw or big diameter disks.
• The granite material cut does not require any particular washes (gang saw need it).
• More even cutting surface, permitting saving of time and money in the slab polishing operations (the maximum tolerance of the final thickness of the slabs is +/- 0,5 mm)
• High cutting autonomy, sufficient to allow for replacement of the tool after long period of time (gang saw need to replace blades every two cut).
• Possibility of cutting very small size blocks, headers of highly irregular shape and blocks 2,1 meter tall: not possible on the big disk.
• Reduced cutting stress, and and greatly reduced labour requirement.
• Changes of cut thickness require only a few in comparison to the shot saw,
• Very fast machine installation and very fast training of the people (2 weeks max including installation);
• Small foundation work 20 to 60 m3 depending on the saw type;
• Less impact on the environment as wire cutting produces less noise and vibrations.

The sludge produced by machines in cutting granite are free of both lime and iron, meaning that there is less special waste to dispose of.
