Can you renovate your house without creating a dust problem? YES you can!

July 22nd, 2010 Matteo No comments

One of the main problems encountered when renovating a property is the dust generated by the multitude of equipment required to cut and drill tiles, concrete and plaster etc…

Although we take precautions by covering our best furniture and appliances with dust sheets of various kinds, it is
proven that fine dust penetrates everywhere which then forces us to clean everything time and time again. However and so often, because of the nature of dust, the cleaning operation easily damages appliances, especially plasma televisions and other high technology electrical appliances.
The REAL problem however is not necessarily the direct economic damage caused to furniture and household appliances but can the damage to the health of the people who live in the house.

Breathing this dust has been recognized by many European countries to be harmful to such a point that in 2010 Spain, Holland, Belgium and others prohibited contractors by law from working in homes without the use of machines capable of eliminating dust almost completely. This also includes dust generated in terms of bricklaying or laying floors too!

Unfortunately, even today, there are very few machines available in the marketplace that will suppress the dust created whilst carrying out the cutting operation of general building materials that are used in renovation projects.

In an effort to support the trade Montolit has recognised this issue and has developed a portable machine – ‘THE AQUAFLEX’ – that will help contractors comply with these new European Laws that relate to the control of dust emission in the workplace.
This special system uses a water spray that completely eliminates the problem of dust.

Therefore – If your tiler or builder uses this tool he does not have to worry about your health and your children and your
furniture and appliances are not damaged in any way!! He also complies with the Law. A win win situation for all!!

The Special Breaking System … grows up

July 20th, 2010 Matteo No comments

It is incredible to think that the MONTOLIT Dual Splitting system, which “revolutionized the Manual Push Tilecutter World”, has now reached it’s 18th Anniversary since launch!!

Much envied and imitated by some, this splitting system is an important innovation within the tile cutter world, and is typically incorparated into our manual tilecutter – the Masterpiuma P2 Series.

Designed and Patented by Brevetti Montolit in 1993, the dual splitting device has, on a daily basis, been able to solve the splitting problems associated with very hard materials, especially to save the point corner of a tile when 45° cutting. It’s use is also brilliant for splitting the individual segments of sheet mosaic tiles.

Automatic, simple and effective, this special ‘flip down’ splitting device is made of a special plastic “NO SCRATCH” material that provides a clean split with no possibility of damaging or marking the surface of the tile.

Follow we can look the Special breaking system at work!

Examples of finished cuts obtainable with our new wet saw – the ‘Tornado’

July 14th, 2010 Matteo No comments

Dear friends, with this short post we would like to give feedback to some good forum discussion that requests us to show the good finish obtainable when cutting tiles with our new wet saw – the ‘Tornado’.

In our previous video we forgot to spend time to show some of the finished cuts achieved…sorry for that. We have solved the problem now with this video.
The result of your finished cut in ceramic tiles obviously depends on the type of wet saw used but above all it depends on the type of diamond blades that you use.

In this video we show some finished cuts that we obtained in gres porcelanato tiles, enduro tiles by Marazzi, granite tiles, travertine tiles etc. when using our NEW model wet saw called ‘Tornado’.

Our aim was to achieve a very high grade finished cut. In this case we used our Montolit ‘CPF’ model blade with a continuous rim that has a special diamond composition. As you can see in the video, the finished edge is very good. One important thing…with this kind of blade (CPF diamond blades), you must cut the material very slowly!

For any technical requests, please write us directly.

Manual Block Cutters Montolit are opening the new frontier of “GREEN TOOLS” !

July 9th, 2010 Matteo 2 comments

Every day the environment becomes more of a priority in our lives, and it is right that we, as the forefront manufacturers of construction equipment, contribute maximum effort in this direction.

In terms of ecology there is still much work for all to do. However we can demonstrate that our manual paving block cutters are already a good example of green tools - even though they were invented decades ago!!

Thanks to characteristics such as the use of simple materials, its non-polluting operation and the complete recyclability of the product, the evidence is there that fits with current topical thinking.

Here we can see these benefits in detail:

- ECOLOGY – 100% recycling of the steel materials used in the build structure
- MINIMUM CUTTING COST per METRE – very LOW compared to the use of diamond blades used in classic power tools
- SPEED – very fast and precise operation compared to using a diamond blade
IT DOESN’T NEED ANY ELECTRICITY!

Being in the mood for quotes:- our MANUAL BLOCK CUTTER can be compared to the ‘mythological Phoenix bird that can rise from the ashes’ … since they are once made NEW by hand and will definitely reach to the end of a very long long life!!

And then, in addition to being ecological, these manual paving block cutters are also very health-conscious for the operator. Today it is fashionable to cut everything with a diamond blade, but so often the Trade does not pay attention to costs in terms of personal injury due to vibration, dust and risks associated with electricity.

A manual split cutter does not generate dust or harmful vibrations and does not create ANY noise pollution against that generated by large power tools.

The only drawback – (whose designs are 110% perfect after all?) – is that it is heavy to move … but we’ve created the system of levers and pinch rollers to overcome this obstacle.

Well then? Using our Block Cutter – Why not use a little effort that is so beneficial to the environment?
