News Join Cosentino INTERNATIONAL Professionals Key paths to innovation R&D Projects co-financed by the ERDF under the Operational Programme for Smart Growth 2014-2020: ‘Research and development of new technologies for the evolution of quartz agglomerates’, with reference IDI-20150453. The overall objective of the project ‘Research and development of new technologies for the evolution of quartz agglomerates’ is to develop innovative quartz agglomerates, with multiple design possibilities, versatility in obtaining new properties, better productivity and quality of the end product, as well as greater durability of the materials, even in extreme conditions, in order to achieve a clear differentiation and improvement of the company’s competitiveness. To this end, three main lines of action are being addressed: research into surface technology, the development of new formulations and the development of technological processes for the production of quartz agglomerates. ‘New Dekton® technology and formulations to develop new effects, properties and advanced products’, with reference IDI-20151025. ‘Silestone® Mixing and Shaping’, with reference IDI-20170609. ‘Dekton® advanced decoration systems’, with reference IDI-20170606. ‘New properties in materials using technology to generate, apply and integrate functionalized surface layers’, with reference IDI-20170619. ‘Circular Economy for the Thermoset Composites Industry’, with reference MIG-20201011. Projects co-financed by the ERDF under the Operational Programme for R&D&i by and for the benefit of enterprises – Technology Fund 2007-2013. ‘Research and development of new technology for digital transformation in innovative surfaces’, with reference IDI-20170113. The main purpose of the project ‘Research and development of new technology for digital transformation in innovative surfaces’ is to develop new technologies and information systems applied to the company’s products, processes and services. A new industrial model will be defined in which the means of production, supply and distribution systems are connected and customer service is digital. ‘Silestone® Simulation System’, with reference IDI-20170138. ‘Development of advanced technical performance and special Dekton® applications’, with reference IDI-20170137. ‘New investment to develop and transform quartz agglomerates’, with reference LICA-20160026. Energy efficiency Projects co-financed by the ERDF under the Operational Programme for Smart Growth 2014-2020: ‘Improvement of energy efficiency in the calibration and polishing process on line 1 of the Silestone I plant’ with reference 265. The project ‘Improvement of energy efficiency in the calibration and polishing process on line 1 of the Silestone I plant’ consists of the replacement of two calibration and polishing machines in line 1 of the SILESTONE I plant, located in the Cantoria plant (Almería), in order to ensure better quality of the end product and reduce the current reprocessing due to faults in the slabs, compared to conventional technology, with the corresponding reduction in energy consumption. ‘Improvement of energy efficiency in the calibration and polishing process on line 2 of the Silestone plant’, with reference 266. Projects co-financed by the ERDF under the Operational Programme for Smart Growth 2014-2020: ‘Heat recovery at the Cantoria factory of COSENTINO S.A.U.’, with reference FN-PGESI-2017-000542. The project ‘Heat recovery at the Cantoria factory of COSENTINO S.A.U.’ involves the installation of a heat recovery system for the furnaces of the Dekton® production line at the Cantoria plant (Almería) in order to improve the energy efficiency of the production process. Total investment: 2,582,826.97 Aid amount: 774,848.09€ Energy savings: 1,158.56 toe/year ‘Improvement of energy efficiency in ancillary facilities and lighting’, with reference FN-PGESI-2017-000779. Investment ‘Manufacture of special materials for architecture and decoration: Industrialisation of new production technologies, new logistics facilities and industrial support services’, with reference AL/0733/P08. The aim of the project is the fundamental transformation of the overall production processes, which is essential to maintain competitiveness and global leadership in the production of innovative surfaces for architecture and design. The company’s policy also encompasses the search for ever more ambitious solutions that allow it to maintain its products in a leading position, always offering its customers innovative products with the highest performance and quality.
