BKM Marble, which has been operating in the natural stone sector for eight years, has gained great popularity with the Philadelphia and Romano products from its quarry in Manisa. The company, exporting 90 percent of its products, is active in America.

A very special stone

Company owner Basri Kaplan, who said that they process slabs and sized materials in their 3 thousand square meters indoors factory in Afyonkarahisar said, “Our quarry in Manisa, is known as the only Philadelphia quarry in Turkey. We took over this quarry from another company in 2019. Philadelphia, which is a special travertine stone with onyx transitions, attracts great attention especially from the American and European market.”

Customer satisfaction is top priority

Stating that they keep the service quality at the highest level in the marketing and sales process, Kaplan said: “Quality and trust are indispensable for us. We give confidence to our customers with quality production, short delivery time, right price policy. Thanks to our customer-oriented working principle, we manage to maintain long-term relationships with our customers.” The Company will participate in Marble 2020 Izmir (Turkey), Coverings (USA) and Marmomacc Verona (Italy) fairs in 2020.

Toksel, who has always been the first to introduce innovative technology for processing natural and artificial stones with its unique perspective in this field, presents a new marble and granite cutting technology product. Megalodon, which will be launched at Cnr Marble Tech 2019 exhibition in Istanbul, is a first of its kind in Turkey in the processing of marble and granite blocks regardless of their sizes.The first version of the product, which will be introduced on October 23-26, has a construction that can reach speeds of 300 cm per hour with 5 and 10 wires.

Conventional Toksel Quality Will Raise Quality Perception in the Wire Cutting Industry

As with all Toksel brand products, Megalodon is made of first quality components. Toksel, who carefully analyses the problems of wire cutting technologies in the world has finally found solutions to those problems via Megalodon. The product is already approved by the sector with reasonable prices. Toksel, which eliminates the wire costs that the market suffers thanks to Megalodon, will promote the new design of the machine with 5.3 mm. wires.

The fact that the cutting wires are so thin is a factor directly affecting the cutting speed. On the other hand, it eliminates unnecessary waste of raw materials. The precision cut feature of the machine which is crowned by automatic cutting makes it possible to transform raw materials in quarries into high value added products.

Unique with Complete Stainless Coating Technology

The world’s first and only complete hot-dip galvanizing application with swing arm was applied to all metal parts of Megalodon wire cutting machine. Each part of Megalodon is coated with a special technology in 800-degree hot liquid galvanized pools. Galvanize penetrates into the depths of the galvanized metal parts of Megalodon and make it resistant against corrosion for life.

Attractive Investment Advantages of Megalodon

Megalodon, which provides advantages up to 30% – 45% only when considered within the scope of the investment budget: offers extra advantages in marble and granite processing, in terms of production speed, general expenses (electricity, personnel expenses, etc.), waste of raw materials, bringing the hardest products to the sector at the lowest cost, minimizing the concept of standard cutting size and elimination of high general costs.

End to Raw Material Handling and Stabilization Costs

Thanks to its ability to work under harsh conditions, you will be able to position Megalodon in the closest position to the raw material and save on high transportation costs. In addition to its ability of cutting the hardest marble and granite in nature, you will be able to process large and small raw materials with cracks into the slabs with maximum efficiency thanks to Megalodon’s independent wire cutting technology.

No Limit in Stone Thickness

In this multi wire cutting machine of Toksel which provides the possibility of slab production with thickness from 1.5 cm. to 65 cm., thickness settings can be done in minutes similar to those in gang saws,Megalodon, which will lead you to record production quantities of thick and thin stones, compared to ST and Katrak, will allow you to reach record quantities in quality plate production with less staff, less investment budget, less energy

The ancient pyramids are built predominantly of limestone. They have been well preserved for millennia because the Egyptians knew the effect of silica. Silica mineralizes the stone, hardens it and makes it resistant to environmental influences. This form of ecological insulation has almost been forgotten.

What is mineralization?

If you take a stone out of the river and break it, it is moist on the outside and dry inside. The stones are covered with microorganisms on the outside, the so-called diatoms. These form silica through photosynthesis, which protects the stone from the ingress of moisture. Jean Pierre Allegre (technical director of ProtecD) has succeeded in reproducing the natural process of diatoms in water. He has developed a product that mineralizes the stones ecologically and permanently. Liquid cannot penetrate the stone or concrete anymore. There can be e.g. no frost damage from infiltrating water. Saltwater and road salt damage the stone just as little as UV rays. Dirt no longer penetrates the stone. Stone and concrete surfaces are much easier to clean. Several municipalities have already taken advantage of this and have mineralized pedestrian zones / promenades. After a normal cleaning no ugly spots remain, and chewing gum and graffiti are easier to remove. The municipal cleaning costs have been reduced drastically. Tests according to the method of Mohs (*) show that the stone usually gets 2 points more resistant to abrasion. Even stains of red wine, coffee and cola no longer lead to permanent discoloration.

Mineralization means lifelong insulation

The difference between conventional insulation and mineralization lies in the chemical compound of the molecules. It is easy to explain this with the example of the combination of oil and vinegar. If you mix both, you get a connection that separates after a while. Resin-based insulation agents behave similarly, which cannot permanently bond with the mineral molecules of natural stones. For this reason, the insulation usually does not last longer than applied colour. Intensive cleaning with hot water and strong steam jet accelerate the process. ProtecD mineralizers are made up of mineral molecules that penetrate deeply into the minerals, connecting with them forever. Neither colour nor appearance are changed by this process. Settling of moss, mushrooms or algae is no longer possible. This is especially important for historical monuments, fountains and roofs.

(*) The MOHS scale is the most commonly used method for classifying gemstones and other minerals or materials according to their hardness. It was invented in 1812 by the German mineralogist Friedrich MOHS and refers to the ability of a mineral to resist abrasion. Minerals are divided into categories from 1 (for the mildest) to 10 (for the hardest). Since this classification is relatively fixed between minerals, the hardness difference between a diamond and a ruby is much greater than that between calcite and gypsum. The classification index is not proportional to the hardness, as the diamond index 10 is four times harder than the corundum index 9, which is twice as hard as topaz.

The new multiwire BM model KODIAK EVOLUTION is installed in 4 columns, this exclusive detail guarantees the top stability and precision of the cut in the whole market, against the standard model with only 2 columns.

The KODIAK EVOLUTION installs also another important and exclusive solution patented by BM, the tensioning system made up by an hydraulic lever, the tensions is given wire by wire without any pre-tensioning and it has the possibility to extend the elongation of the diamond wire up to 30 cm.

An other important characteristic of the KODIAK EVOLUTION are the bigger diameters of the rollers and of the wheels of each diamond wire, this can guarantee the following advantages:

• reduction of the inclination angles = increase life of the wire
• reduction of cycles per minute = longer life of the bearings
• bigger contact surface of the wire on the rubber profile = less consumption of rubber profile

Each wire suffers the flexing action only on 3 points, without any dangerous grade.The result is the best working condition for the wire, which upgrade its performance and life.So the cost of the cut per each square meter are reduced to the minimum.
