Wind Star is a splitting machine used in automatic splitting lines for splitting sawn stone and concrete.

In addition to the mainstream upper and lower blades, Wind Star splitting machines are equipped with lateral blades. This four-blade system applies splitting pressure on all four main stone faces resulting in a straighter split or profile.

With certain types of stone, using this technology it is possible to produce very thin cladding and tiles with a straight profile not normally achievable with conventional upper and lower blade systems.

Wind Star machines have a special internal frame which, by raising the lower blade, makes direct contact with the bottom stone surface without impediments, thereby optimizing the accuracy of the split.

The Wind Star splitting machinery range covers a wide range of applications including cladding, tiles and flooring. Wind Star models range from a blade length of 300 mm up to 2800 mm and a splitting force that ranges from 20 tons to over 600 tons.

Wind Star splitting machines are often configured in an automatic line. The nature of the input material (sawn blocks, slabs and concrete) lends itself well to being split in an automatic line, offering real improvements in production capacity, product quality and running costs. Automation options for splitting stone are vast and include conveyors, pushers, pneumatic deviators, product counters, and numerous other additional components and machinery to optimize the management and production of the split cycle.
