MADE IN WESTERWALD
Under the GIGA-Line® brand, Interbau-Blink has been offering large-format ceramic tiles measuring up to 260 × 120 cm since 2017.
The XXL tiles are manufactured at the company’s own production facility at the Ransbach-Baumbach site. With the GIGA-Line® production line, the Interbau-Blink Group expanded its product portfolio and opened up new applications for large-format ceramic tiles.
Available in rectified formats of 120 × 260 cm, 120 × 120 cm, 60 × 120 cm, 80 × 80 cm and 60 × 60 cm, the GIGA-Line® series offer a range of designs combined with a coordinated modular format structure. The slabs are available in thicknesses from 6 to 20 mm and are suitable for a variety of applications. In addition to use as floor and wall tiles, they can also be used for applications such as kitchen worktops, stair treads and fireplace surrounds.
Industry 4.0
From raw material preparation to the kiln, the GIGA-Line® production facility is one of the most advanced tile manufacturing plants in Northern Europe – a true example of Industry 4.0, thanks to its state-of-the-art machinery.
The use of autonomous machines, capable of moving through the production hall and making decisions without human intervention, represents a seamless integration of industrial production with advanced information and communication technology.
The 1.6 m-wide digital printer, the most advanced of its kind, works similarly to an inkjet printer and allows the company, in collaboration with Italian design studios, to create a wide range of designs, including marble, metal, and natural stone effects.
High-Tech Meets Craftsmanship
A large-format tile travels up to half a kilometre along its production journey (see production video here).
Starting with the 440-ton hydraulic press, which compresses the raw material into a flat slab with hundreds of times its own weight, the tile then passes through a 41-metre-long dryer to remove moisture. Next, it receives its final design in the digital printer before being fired in a kiln heated to 1,200°C.
After grinding in the dry-calibration machine and a final quality inspection, the tiles are fully machine-packed and prepared for shipment. With this forward-looking product line, Interbau-Blink continues to uphold the sustainability of its production processes.
