Ceramic Tile Cutting Machine for Production Lines

BASAIR supplies ceramic tile cutting machines for two different production needs: dry scoring-and-splitting machines for ceramic tile production lines, and multi-blade mosaic cutting machines for mosaic factories.

For production lines, the machine uses a dry diamond scoring cutter to split standard tiles into two smaller pieces, such as 600 x 600 mm tiles into 300 x 600 mm pieces or 800 x 800 mm tiles into 400 x 800 mm pieces. For mosaic production, the machine uses multiple diamond saw blades to cut large standard tiles into small square mosaics, strips or shaped blanks.

Dry Scoring and Splitting Machine for Production Lines

The dry scoring and splitting machine is designed for ceramic tile factories that need high-speed, continuous one-to-two tile splitting. This equipment is used on production lines and is not a saw-blade cutting machine.

The machine uses a diamond scoring cutter to create a controlled scoring line on the tile surface, then splits the tile along that line. This process is suitable for standardized tile splitting where speed, consistency and production-line integration are important.

Key Features

  • Dry scoring and splitting process for production lines
  • Diamond scoring cutter instead of saw blades
  • High-speed one-to-two tile splitting
  • Stable tile feeding and positioning
  • Suitable for continuous factory operation
  • No water required in the cutting area

Production-Line Use

This machine is suitable when the factory needs repeatable splitting of standard tile sizes. It can be installed with upstream tile transport and downstream sorting, packaging or edge-finishing equipment.

The configuration depends on the original tile size, finished tile size, tile thickness, tile body hardness, required production speed and available line layout.

Multi-Blade Mosaic Cutting Machine

The multi-blade mosaic cutting machine is designed for mosaic factories that need to produce large quantities of small ceramic mosaic pieces from standard large tiles. Unlike the production-line dry scoring machine, this equipment uses diamond saw blades for cutting.

It can cut 600 x 600 mm or 800 x 800 mm standard tiles into small square mosaics such as 10 x 10 mm, 20 x 20 mm, 30 x 30 mm and 50 x 50 mm. By changing the metal spacers between saw blades, the machine can adjust the blade distance for different mosaic sizes. It can also cut long strips or blanks for diamond-shaped mosaic processing.

Typical Applications

  • Mass production of ceramic mosaic tiles
  • 600 x 600 mm or 800 x 800 mm tile cutting
  • 10 x 10 mm, 20 x 20 mm, 30 x 30 mm and 50 x 50 mm mosaic cutting
  • Long strip cutting
  • Blank preparation for diamond-shaped mosaics
  • Standardized small-piece cutting for mosaic factories

Final cutting sizes can be adjusted by changing the blade spacing and spacer combination. Non-standard mosaic sizes and strip widths can be confirmed during machine configuration.

Single-Shaft Multi-Blade Machine

Models: BC600S / BC800S

The single-shaft multi-blade machine installs multiple diamond saw blades on one main shaft. It completes the cutting process in one pass and is suitable for mosaic factories that need efficient mass production with a simpler machine structure.

SpecificationBC600S / BC800S
Processing width600 mm / 800 mm
Blade quantity2-25 diamond saw blades on one shaft
Saw blade diameter180-300 mm
Saw blade thickness1.8-3 mm
Minimum cutting size10 x 10 mm
Tile thickness6-50 mm
Standard ceramic tile thickness6-20 mm
Main shaft motor power15 kW
Total machine powerApprox. 16.5 kW
Voltage380V three-phase
Conveyor speed0.1-4 m/min adjustable
Reference capacityApprox. 250-350 sqm / 8 hours for 100 x 100 mm mosaics

Double-Shaft Multi-Blade Machine

Models: BC600D / BC800D

The double-shaft multi-blade machine uses two independent cutting shafts. The first shaft performs rough cutting, and the second shaft performs finishing cutting. This structure helps improve edge quality and reduce chipping, especially when processing polished full-body tiles, soft-gloss tiles or higher-value ceramic products.

Mosaic Cutting Machine Structure

  • Conveyor belt automatic feeding
  • Top pressure system to reduce tile lifting during cutting
  • Spindle cooling for stable operation
  • Metal spacers between blades for accurate size control
  • Fast spacer replacement for different mosaic sizes
  • Finished pieces dropped directly into the collection basket
SpecificationBC600D / BC800D
Processing width600 mm / 800 mm
Shaft configurationTwo independent cutting shafts
Cutting methodRough cutting + finishing cut
Total powerApprox. 32 kW
Suitable productsPolished full-body tiles, soft-gloss tiles and mosaic production
Blade configurationFlexible multi-blade arrangement
Typical useStrip cutting and block cutting in one production flow

Diamond Saw Blades for Mosaic Cutting

The mosaic cutting machine uses diamond saw blades. Blade selection affects cutting speed, edge quality, chipping control and blade life.

Saw Blade Options

  • Diamond saw blades for ceramic tiles
  • Diamond saw blades for porcelain tiles
  • Saw blades for small square mosaics
  • Saw blades for long strip cutting
  • Blade thickness selected according to tile body and cutting size
  • Blade quantity matched to required mosaic size
