How to reduce water consumption in a stone fabrication plant?

Short answer

Most effectively — by closing the water loop. Water from the machines goes to a clarifier that separates the sludge, and clean water returns to the machines at a constant pressure. The sludge is dewatered by a filter press or a bag system. Such a set-up cuts fresh water intake by up to 95%.

Aquafil Solutions makes complete systems for stone fabrication plants with capacities from 200 to 4000 l/min: CL clarifiers (cylindrical, stainless steel) and LD clarifiers (compact, lamella), filter presses, bag systems, controls, pumps and pH controllers.

What clean water in the loop gives you

  • Less fresh water — up to 95% lower intake.
  • Constant pressure at every machine.
  • Longer tool life — without sludge in the water, blades and bits wear more slowly and edges are cleaner.
  • Safer in the workshop — chemicals dosed automatically and under control.

How we select a system

We start with an analysis of the plant: we check the machines, materials and the amount of water used. A water sample goes to a laboratory that selects the coagulant, flocculant and their doses. Then we propose a system, check the connections, install it, train the staff and stay on for service.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much water can a closed loop save?

Up to 95% of fresh water — after clarification the water returns to the machines, and only losses are topped up.

What capacity of system for a stone fabrication plant?

Aquafil systems have capacities from 200 to 4000 l/min. We size the system to the amount of water used by the machines in your plant.

CL or LD clarifier?

CL is a classic cylindrical stainless steel clarifier, reliable with minimal maintenance. LD is a compact lamella clarifier for plants short of space — low, so it can stand inside the building.

What to do with the sludge?

Dewater it: a filter press suits high-volume production, a bag system — smaller plants. The water from dewatering returns to the loop.
