Why Is Italy Called The Kingdom Of Stone What Is It Called The Kingdom Of Stone

Why is Italy called "the kingdom of stone"? Read on to find out!

First of all, Italian stone resources are extremely rich, the production of mines scattered all over. In particular, the west coast around Carrara and the eastern Alps around Verona are the most famous. The former mainly produces off-white and off-white high-quality marble; The latter produces dark green, red and beige marble. Among them, karara area mining marble began in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, more than 100 years ago, the famous Karara white marble is produced here.

The main marble deposits in Italy are:

1. Volga Marble deposit. Located on the Lombardy slope in front of the Alps near the Po Plain, the marble is pale beige with a deep texture and is easy to work with.

2. Tuscan marble deposits. The distribution area is 6000KM2, mainly producing white and green striped marble, sugar white marble, suitable for carving breccia marble and marble patterns.

3. Gusfo and La Plano marbles. Formed by chemical deposition in lake environment, the ore layer is 50~60 meters thick, milky white, beige, with light red and rich yellow roots.

4. Stunney and Windsor deposits. Located near the Adriatic Sea, the marble is yellow and gray with reddish and white silver stripes.

5. Lane Marble Deposit. Located in the Hot rababa area, the marble is pale yellow and rich in large flower-like texture, magnificent.Italian marble district

Secondly, Italy's marble regardless of its output, import and export have long ranked first in the world. It can be said that the twentieth century is the century of Italian natural stone. In the past 100 years, Italy has been monopolized in the international trade of natural stone, and the stone industry is the main component of the national income and foreign exchange source of the country. The quality of products and related stone mining and processing equipment are also world-class, mainly reflected in:

First, mine equipment advanced, fully mechanized production, high productivity of all staff.

All mines in the mining area are equipped with a number of arm saw, diamond bead saw, two kinds of cutting equipment joint operation, equipped with a number of Carter or Volvo, small pine fork installed with mast lifting from the platform, lifting, handling, loading and unloading vehicles. Italian mines are not only equipped with advanced equipment, but also leading the world in mining equipment manufacturing. Benetti, Pellegrini, Pedrini, Fantini and other companies have products all over the world, and mining and processing equipment manufacturing technology leads the world trend.

2. Various mining methods and methods shall be available in accordance with local conditions

A variety of mining methods can be found in Italian mining areas, including slope open-pit mining, depression open-pit mining and cave mining. Development methods include crane development, highway automobile transportation development and joint development. All the mining and exploitation methods are rationally planned and designed according to the orebody address characteristics and topographic conditions.

All mines have standardized construction and mining.

Iv. Continuous innovation of monitoring technology, sound and considerate facilities, and safe production are guaranteed.

Five: Give full play to advantages, recycle, and fully protect natural and cultural resources.

In The Italian mining area almost all mining marble waste of the mine, in line with the processing of stone specifications, a variety of shapes of waste materials to be classified, different specifications of waste materials sold at different prices, for different stone products.

To sum up, Italian stone enterprises generally adopt large-scale automatic production lines in order to make full use of resources, improve labor productivity and save increasingly expensive labor. The degree of automation is quite high. Many equipment have realized NUMERICAL control and program control, and the accuracy of products has been greatly improved. Especially in recent years, the Italian government is actively promoting enterprises to develop overseas stone resources in order to save domestic stone resources and extend the exploitation time.

Italians take advantage of their natural resources and cultural resources as well as stone mining, processing and application of technical advantages to the extreme, Italy's natural stone products, has become a well-known public products, become a veritable world "stone kingdom"!
