Automatic Contour Polisher (2): Here, in the close up image of the automatic contour polisher, we can see the machine polishing a monument made from the granite type "TJI Red". This granite type is very popular in the United States. Click below to view a sample of our "TJI Red". Use the "Back" button on your browser to return to this page.
Final Polishing Process: Here, a completed monument that has been shaped and polished, receives a final mirror polish prior to being visually inspected and packed for despatch. This monument was destined for the U.S.A.
This is an excellent view showing our comprehensive handling systems for the monumental department. Next Section: Finished Monuments

Automatic
Contour Machine: This machine is responsible for defining
the shape of the monument from the granite slab. This type of
machine generally has two specifications. They can work in either
a vertical mode as shown here for simple profiles, or horizontally
for the more complex shapes to be produced.
Automatic
Contour Polisher (1): The automatic contour polishing machinery
takes the freshly rough profiled granite monument and applies
a deep and durable polish to the surface of the monument. The
polish is not a physical additive. It is produced by the abrasive
action of varying grades of polishing "bricks" with the friction
causing extreme heat on the surface of the granite. Therefore,
the only way the polish can be removed is by refacing the stone.
