Hydrofinish from the Waterjet Corporation is an innovative accessory for finishing. It works on the stone material surface by using a high-pressure water jet.
This process allows the stone to remain the original color, gives the ability to select the degree of roughness that will best suit the intended application, and having this surface treatment applied to any stone thickness. There are just a few of the advantages the process offers.
The degree of erosion, achieved through the various pressures available, create different surface finishes which become even more unique and eye-catching, thanks to the colorful patterns of natural stone.
How the WATERSTONE®Technology works The WaterStone™ technology is the most ecological and easy-to-operate surfaces texturing process:
- further processing is not needed.
- It doesn 't produce mechanical and thermal deformation. - It is easy to operate because the same tools and the same conditions can be used with the majority of materials.
All the above allows reduction of manufacturing time and costs in every sector. Also, thanks to the PLC database that provides with a simple click a customized work plan for any material and thickness, with a simple click.
Four important elements define the degree of roughness: - Working Pressure. - Height of nozzle. - Working trolley and nozzle speed. The
perfect combination of these four parameters will create a variey ofsmooth textures on the surface of the stone with different results for
each specific material.
THE ADVANTAGES • Exaltation of the natural color of the material (no yellowing) • Variation of the roughness finish • Environmentally friendly process that is smoke, pollution and heat free • Any material thickness (> 10 mm.) texturing process.
DECORATIVE HYDROFINISH AND CUTTING COMBINED TECHNOLOGIES
The Hydrofinish accessory can be installed on the Classica or on any other waterjet machines in the range ofWaterjet Corporation.

The history of Margraf- formerly Industria Marmi Vicentini - started in 1906 in Chiampo, a town in the Province of Vicenza. Right from the start the company focused on research and technological innovation and, in particular, on the close cooperation with renowned international architects.
Today, after more than 100 years, Margraf rightly joins the world leaders of the stone sector.
Masterly quarrying marble blocks from their own deposits to cut them into polished slabs or tiles and offering a wide range of highly valued material and top-of-the-range products for the construction industry and architecture (from interior to external cladding, up to furnishing complements for bathrooms and kitchens), are just some of the features that made Margrafa well-known and highly appreciated company worldwide.
However, all this did not prevent Margraf from staying focused on the respect for the environment, on the contrary the company invested in many facilities which reduce any environmental damage: most innovative technologies, projects for landscape recovery, strong investments in energy saving and renewable resources.
Contourbreton NC300 DUAL
Past and present merge perfectly in Margraf, a leading company rushing into the future with enthusiasm.
