A small but essential part of ceramic tile production involves ‘special pieces’, items that are complementary to square or rectangular tiles, such as skirting tiles, corner pieces, border pieces, steps, mosaic pieces etc. 

With 2 innovative products capable of handling mosaic tiles and listels or skirting tiles, Nuova Fima is a key player in this market sector.
One of these innovative products is Sticktile, the ideal solution for pre-spaced mounting of mosaic tiles. Sticktile introduces several new features that have been strongly appreciated by tile manufacturers.  The most relevant benefits are:

• It can handle tiles from 2.5x2.5cm to 10x10cm in size;
• It can produce a wide range of finished sizes, up to 60x60cm;
• It can be adapted to accommodate a broad range of product sizes and types, satisfying the most demanding customers;
• The self centring mechanism enables tiles with small differences in size and shape to be accommodated;
• Product size can be changed in just a few minutes.

Using advanced thermodynamic solutions Sticktile can produce 500m² per shift, in line with the needs of the most demanding production plants.

The other innovative product for special pieces is the Synthesis sorting line (pictured below), Nuova Fima’s key product with over 700 installations worldwide.  With the use of a special kit, Synthesis can handle special pieces such as listels or skirting tiles of sizes up to 7x60cm.  

Both Sticktile and Synthesis for special pieces boast many installations worldwide with customers in Italy, Brazil, Iran, Turkey and Mexico.
