Materials research and analysis centre

Cutting and processing all the stone in the world. As well as building materials and ceramics. This is the guarantee that Dellas can give its customers. In order to be achieve this objective, the company has set up a materials research and analysis centre at its headquarters. It is the high-tech heart of the company. Research, an area in which the company continually invests part of its profits, has always been considered a fundamental part of the production cycle, necessary for maintaining competitiveness on the global market: As well as samples of the most common and widely used stones, the Dellas laboratory also contains thousands of samples of marble, granite and engineering stone from all over the world. Each element is carefully preserved and catalogued by type and place of origin. It is a unique database on the morphological characteristics of the material and is essential for developing blades, discs and tools capable of operating with maximum efficiency and precision.

Dellas can thus offer its international customers a personalized, tailored service for all samples of stone. The thin stone sections are analysed with microscopes in order to identify their mineral composition. The material is tested by performing sawability and abrasion tests and the results indicated on extremely precise charts. An X-ray fluorescence spectrometer also provides the chemical composition of the samples. Only after the positive outcome of the laboratory tests are the diamond tools delivered and then considered «standard».
Following this research and testing process. a materials sheet is compiled which can be given to the customer on request.

This organisation allows customer requirements to be managed in real time. The efficiency of the tools supplied, in fact, is considered essential for guaranteeing operators in the sector increasingly rapid, safe, silent, precise and cost-effective cutting. Thanks to this research, Dellas can drastically reduce cutting and processing times.

Its constant commitment in each phase of the process, passion for research, continual and rigid testing, automation of production processes and focus on quality and service have always been hallmarks of Dellas, allowing it to conquer a leading position on the market.
