Marble is a kind of limestone and is a metamorphic rock composed primarily of calcium carbonate. It is characterized by a low refractive index that creates a particular brightness and gloss, while the hardness, resistance and mechanical characteristics make the marble one of the most noble and precious stones, it has mostly been used in buildings since antiquity. In the arts, Carrara marble had been used to create the most famous compositions in the world.  

It is also one of the most used materials for design projects for both exterior and interior. Often times it is used for kitchen tops, bathrooms, tables, floors and furnishings, as well as for paving, stairs or cladding.
The color of marble, which depends on the presence of mineral impurities, varies from white to gray, green, yellow, black.
It is extracted in the quarry in blocks and then it is cut in slabs and / or blocks.
Usually it is split with manual or automatic machines according to the shape, size and product requirement.

P4 Series

The machines for the processing of marble which belong to P4 Automatic Series are no longer made with only two blades, as traditionally happens, but with four. In this way the split force is divided on the entire perimeter of the block of marble. The final effect is excellent, high quality.

Horizontal T1, Horizontal T2

The machines Horizontal T1 and T2 are classified as "Pitching": thanks to these plants it is possible, in fact, obtain a rustic surface on the marble blocks. The Horizontal T1 work one side at a time. The Horizontal 2, with two heads, works both sides of the block in a single step.

Beaver

Fast Series

Ideal for cutting irregular stone, the series of Fast machines for the processing of marble spread over different models, each with particular characteristics that make it congenial to different types of work. These machines work by means of diamond blades, reducing transportation costs of the finish product and increasing productivity.

Crunch Series

As a part of the machines for the marble crushing stands the Crunch Series. These devices work on the secondary crushing, pulverizing or making sand from the marble waste. One of their features is the ability to reach in a short time the refining required with marble processing.

Stark Series

The Stark Series has been designed by MEC to ensure your company a great marble crushing process. These machines are made so strong and heavy to be able to crush even the hardest stones and they come in three different versions.
