1.1)

	
FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PLANT

 

	
  

	
a)

	
THE PRODUCT AND ITS MAJOR COMPONENTS

 

	
  

	
 ̈

	
The Plant subject-matter of this Contract is designed for the manufacture of compound stone slabs made by bonding together sands and grits of a simple natural quartz using unsaturated polyester resins dissolved in styrene.

 

	
  

	
 ̈

	
[***].

 

	
  

	
 ̈

	
As everybody knows, inert grits consist of small fragments of natural stone materials as well as of natural and artificial lithoid materials. The maximum diameter of the grits does not exceed [***] mm.

 

One can indifferently use sands and grits of quartz, quartzite, diorite, granite and any other siliceous material as well as sands and grits of marble and of any calcareous material.

 

	
  

	
 ̈

	
Natural lithoid sands and grits can be obtained from shells, mother-of-pearl, madrepore and suchlike, while artificial lithoid materials include glass and ceramic grits, fragments of mirrors, etc.

 

	
  

	
 ̈

	
The most commonly used and widely diffused structural resin is [***] according to the most suitable formulations.

 

	
  

	
 ̈

	
The basic Plant, like the one supplied hereof, works normally under environmental temperatures ranging between [***]°C and [***]°C; any other environmental temperature is possible by equipping the plant with suitable machines and auxiliary plants.

 

	
  

	
b)

	
THE SLAB DIMENSIONS

 

In the Second USA Plant – The press shall be able to manufacture slabs with dimension up to [***]×[***] cm. The Plant will be set to produce slabs of [***]cmX[***]cm. Buyer will notify Seller within [***] months of the Coming into Force Date of the Agreement, if it wishes that the Seller set these dimensions to the [***]×[***] cm dimensions.

 

The possible slabs that the Plant will be able to produce (after the oven) will be slabs with the following dimensions:

 

[***]cm width and [***]cm length;

 

[***]cm width and [***]cm length;

 

Supplier will assist Buyer as may be required from time to time to make adjustments for switching between the aforementioned dimensions.

Bretonstone® Slab Plant

 

	
  

	
c)

	
THE SLAB THICKNESS

 

The "Vacumvibropress" can mold slabs with finished thickness ranging from a minimum of about [***] mm and a maximum of about [***] mm; it is possible to mold many in-between thickness (normal finished thickness are: [***] mm, [***] mm, [***] mm, [***] mm and [***] mm).

 

	
1.2) 

	
PRODUCTION CAPACITY OF THE PLANT

 

The Plant has a specific production capacity as detailed here under:

 

Slab Molding Line

 

	
  

	
a)

	
The manufacturing process is performed following a regular cadence which is fixed by the time the [***] requires to [***] the slabs (for the sake of brevity, said time is defined “cycle time”).

Normally, using mixtures as per standard formulations of Supplier with max grits not smaller than [***] mm, a cycle time of [***][***]) seconds is needed to [***] a slab sizing [***]x[***] cm or [***] ([***]) seconds to mold a slab sizing [***]x[***] cm and having the reference finished thickness of [***] mm or [***] mm.

	
  

	 

In case of lower thickness or in case of mixtures as per standard formulations of Supplier  with max grits lower than [***] mm the above cycle time must be increased of about [***] seconds.

With [***] or [***] mixers working simultaneously, using mixtures as per standard formulations of Supplier and\or similar formulations, in every [***] minutes, [***].minutes in order to [***].

 

Therefore, the [***] number of slabs per hour as mentioned in Exhibit IV.

 

	
  

	
b)

	
In plants equipped with just [***] group for the [***], the production could normally be arranged in [***] working shifts per day, seven days a week.

 

The mixing machines, the homogenizers, the distributors and the belts must be normally thoroughly cleaned when the color of the product is changed in order to prevent any possible waste due to colors that mingle. This cleaning operation takes approximately [***] ([***]) minutes, using mixtures as per standard formulations of Supplier.

At the beginning of each new working cycle, that is after each of the above [***], it takes approx. [***]-[***]  minutes to prepare the first mixture and to convey it to the [***]machine.

 

	
  

	
c)

	
The plant utilization schemes specified in above point b) set forth the plant production capacity.

 

The Buyer could organize the production following any other possible utilization scheme he finds more convenient.

 

The slabs coming out of the moulding line shall meet the physical-mechanical characteristic as per Exhibit IV, article A1(a).
