Marble slabs honing and polishing: use the right machines
Marble slabs honing and polishing: use the right machines
Marble slabs honing and polishing are not only essential steps to ensure the aesthetic beauty of marble, but are also fundamental to preserving its quality and durability over time. In this article, we will explore the advanced techniques and technologies used in these processes, with a special focus on the solutions offered by Pedrini, a leader in natural stone processing.
The importance of marble slabs honing and polishing
The honing and polishing of marble slabs are not simply final steps in the production process. On the contrary, they are crucial moments in determining the quality and aesthetics of the marble itself.
Here is what these two phases consist of:
Honing: We start by removing any imperfections using roughing abrasives. Next, we gradually move on to using finer grain abrasives to make the marble surface uniformly smooth and ready for the next step
Polishing: Gradually finer abrasives are used until mirror-like reflection is achieved. It often ends with the application of specific marble waxes that emphasize and protect the marble's shining.

In order to achieve high quality results when honing and polishing marble slabs, it is crucial to rely on professional and specialised machinery. In this context, Pedrini emerges as a leader in the industry, offering advanced technologies that ensure accuracy and reliability.
Our solutions not only increase production efficiency but also ensure high quality results with reduced running costs.
The GALAXY B220MXmodel, in particular, has been designed to meet the needs of every customer thanks to its configurability and flexibility, in fact:
Pedrini's patented Rotor system, on which the polishing plates are mounted, is an example of innovation that enables precision polishing thanks to its system of counterpressure movements that adapts the pressure exerted according to the type of marble worked
In the video below you can see our GALAXY B220MX working in a Pedrini polishing line:
Finally, among the many advantages of this machine are:
Production Efficiency: this machine ensures high processing speed while maintaining excellent quality standards
Minimum Maintenance: thanks to its robust construction and high-quality components, the GALAXY B220MX requires minimal maintenance, thus reducing downtime and operating costs
Superior quality results: The precision of the technologies used ensures that each slab is polished evenly, guaranteeing a flawless finishing and improving the visual appearance of the finished marble.
Another Pedrini machine that is very efficient for polishing marble slabs is our GALAXY B220MX-T2/T3, a multi-beam polisher available with two and three moving beams that can be managed at different travel speeds.
The ability to move the spindle beams both synchronously and independently allows the simultaneous processing of slabs with different widths, eliminating the need to completely empty the machine at each batch change, as required by traditional single-beam polishing machines.
Count on Pedrini for honing and polishing your marble slabs.
The collaboration between Stocchero Attilio e C. srl and Pedrini represents an interesting case of success for our marble slab honing and polishing machines.
After having chosen Pedrini for a polishing line for granite slabs, the Verona-based company decided to rely on us again, installing a new honing, plastering and polishing line dedicated to marble slabs.
This strategic step has enabled Stocchero to adopt state-of-the-art technology, strengthening its position as a leader in the sector. The use of the Galaxy MX-T2 and MX-T3 machines, characterised by the ability to move beams independently, ensures top quality processing and significantly reduces downtime, improving operational efficiency and the quality of the finished product.
