Bulgaria's first porcelain tile production plant, belonging to Bulgaria's Khan Asparuh Group and supplied by the Sacmi Group, is expected to become operative next February. With a new spray drier capable of evaporating over 5000 liters per hour, the line also features a 2000-ton press, a vertical drier and a high-productivity roller kiln. The Sacmi Group has also enhanced the overall efficiency of the plant by adding a modern handling and storage system, which transports the tiles by way of magnetically guided vehicles. With this new plant, the Khan Asparuh Group aims to reinforce its leadership of the Bulgarian ceramic tile market by augmenting its product range. The company is reportedly the first producer in the country to produce wall, floor, porcelain and third firing tiles.
