Within the range of Pitching Machines, we also included the MEC Beaver, an automatic machine that allows creation of split face on edge. Just like a beaver, in fact, this machine “eats”, i.e. peels/pitches the sides of slabs, covers or steps giving them a rustic effect, once laid. This is a specific work, which is still currently carried out by hand by the operators in most stone processing plants.
It’s enough that the operator loads the slabs with the edge to peel/pitch towards the splitting head, the feeding and the splitting operations are completely automatic. Then just remove the pitched piece and repeat the operation on the next edge to “eat”.
