DECORA digital printers for concrete and fibre-cement

Single-pass machines for digital decoration and the application of effects on concrete and fiber cement blocks

TecnoFerrari Decora digital printers for concrete and fiber cement are single-pass machines designed for digital decoration and the application of effects on building materials products.

The system makes it possible to decorate concrete blocks, fiber cement, and building materials along the production line, ensuring print stability, reliability, and operational continuity even on products characterized by heavy weights and large dimensions.

Decora printers can be installed at different points along the line depending on the intended use, the required application, and the customer’s production setup.

The machines integrate with dedicated conveying lines and are designed to handle complex operating conditions, maintaining decoration consistency and process stability even in 24/7 industrial environments.

Digital system for the decoration of building materials

Decora digital printers are designed to ensure high performance in the decoration of concrete and fiber cement products, where the main challenges are related to the weight, size, and surface variability of the pieces.

Compared with analog systems, digital printing allows graphics to be changed in a very short time, without having to replace equipment on the line. This feature makes it possible to broaden the range of products that can be produced and to obtain more varied decorated surfaces than with traditional monochromatic solutions.

Once the operating parameters have been set, the machine maintains stable operating conditions over time, reducing the need for manual adjustments and contributing to the uniformity of the finished product.

Automatic maintenance functions, the specific conveying system for large formats and heavy weights, and automatic belt cleaning support production continuity and reduce direct operator intervention.
