Officine Smac automates tile moisture control

Dry Check is a new solution that measures tile moisture directly on the production line, in real time, combining absolute precision with non-invasive operation.

In ceramic manufacturing, every detail matters. This applies in particular to moisture control, a critically important factor in ensuring consistent quality, reduced waste and optimised energy consumption.

Dry-Check was developed specifically to meet these needs and is an innovative, reliable and fully automated solution designed to take process control to the next level.

Dry-Check uses exclusive TDR technology to measure the moisture content of tiles directly on the production line, combining absolute precision with non-invasive operation. The result is a stream of accurate, real-time data that allows for prompt intervention, preventing defects and improving overall production stability.

Dry-Check integrates seamlessly into existing production lines without disrupting operations. The system functions autonomously, providing continuous automatic monitoring, smart data management, integration with supervision systems and instant fault detection. This results in less manual intervention, greater control and improved efficiency.

Controlling moisture means controlling and improving quality, and consequently reducing costs. Dry-Check ensures greater product uniformity, fewer breakages and deformations, a significant decrease in waste and optimised energy consumption. These are concrete, tangible benefits that deliver a rapid return on investment.

Dry-Check is also available in bespoke versions for slabs up to 1800 mm in length, ensuring total control across the entire surface.

Robust, reliable, and user-friendly, Dry-Check is built to operate in the most demanding industrial environments. More than just a measurement system, it is a strategic tool for the transition to smarter, more efficient and fully connected manufacturing.
