The Emperor blade: an industry defining revolution in cutting porcelain
Ultra-compact surfaces such as Dekton, Neolith and Laminam are becoming increasingly popular, and the trend is likely to only continue as more material suppliers produce their own ranges. In fact, a recent report predicted porcelain, ceramic and UCS worktop sales to grow by 46% from 2022 to 2030, the largest increase of any worktop material.
Once seen as an extremely difficult material to manufacture, huge advances have been made in porcelain tooling to make it a more readily available and cost-effective choice for consumers. Here at Stonegate, we’ve worked alongside fabricators and suppliers to develop what we believe is the only blade you’ll ever need for cutting UCS materials: the Emperor.
Speed
Available exclusively from Stonegate, the Emperor blade is capable of reaching speeds of up to 4 metres a minute. This is almost double the industry-standard speeds on porcelain, ceramic and UCS – and not only can it cut as quickly as granite or engineered stone blades, but it delivers a flawless finish, first time!
Versatile and quiet
After years of research and development, we designed the blade with a reinforcement flange, which results in two great benefits. Firstly, mitre cutting is now better than ever, giving a super clean cut at incredible speeds of up to 2.25 metres a minute! Not only that, but this stronger body also means that the Emperor cuts incredibly quietly due to the reduced vibrations, so you can get a perfect finish without the awful, high-pitched squealing you might associate with a porcelain blade.
Life and efficiency
With a proven lifespan of up to 700 linear metres, provided it is run correctly, this blade outperforms all competitors not only on speed, but also on durability and efficiency. We’ve calculated that this super long life could generate savings of up to 40% on blades for your business!
Accuracy
Even with all of these benefits, we aren’t compromising on the unrivalled finish of the blade – it gives an incredible, chip-free cut on a wide range of porcelain, ceramic and UCS materials. You can also rest assured that the experienced Stonegate Technical Team are on hand to help you with guidance on parameters and the best way to run the blade on your machine in order to deliver perfect results.
