Stone Quest

Prestigious customers need prestigious construction tools:
this is why Stone Quest relies on Waterjet Corporation.

Stone Quest was founded in 1998 and immediately sets the goal of introducing itself to the world of North American architecture and furnishings as technological partner, to give life to the most ambitious projects. The ingredients that Stone Quest combines are knowledge of the materials and the high-end production infrastructure to make these.
The Waterjet Corporation slots in to this second part of the founder’s entrepreneurial vision. A quick commercial negotiation establishes a collaboration relationship with the New Jersey company for the supply of two distinct technological solutions.

The first: a 5-axis water cutting machine for processing ceramic and marble slabs. A Classica CL 612 model, obviously tailored to the specific needs of the customer.

The second one, on the other hand, is a HydroFinish technology that makes its first appearance on the US market. With this complete Waterstone system for surface treatment, Stone Quest presents itself as a pioneer on the market, offering a decorative solution with an exceedingly high creative potential and positioning itself as the only supplier on the market.

The Waterstone high-productivity hydro-finish line is fully automatic and equipped with two systems: one for loading and unloading tiles and strips and another for whole slabs in order to enhance processing speed: the machine guarantees a production cycle which is around 30-60 sqm/h, thanks to the 110 KW intensifying pump.

The WaterStone system consists of:
An automatic slab loading and unloading system
A numerically controlled HydroFinish station for surface treatment
A brushing and washing station
An automatic tile loading and unloading system

The innovative Waterjet HydroFinish technology sublimates the aesthetic potential of natural stone, protecting every subtle chromatic variety: a rotating head equipped with multiple orifices generates a high-pressure water brush effect which works the surface and, based on parameters such as pressure, speed of movement and distance of the jet, generates a kaleidoscope of flexible and colour shade effects.

The surface treatment can be homogenous or geometric with the use of precut steel templates that are applied to the surface as a sort of frame for screen printing. This last type of processing is suitable for creating wallpaper effect tiles and stone coverings according to the latest trends in contemporary architecture.

The New York district, which Stone Quest addresses, benefits from the driving effect which comes from the world of architecture, always looking for new solutions to offer prestigious customers.
