3.3PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT
The stone are the basic raw materials required by the company for production and
are purchased in Cubic Meter. Different types of stones are used for getting different type
of colors hence their cost per cubic meter also differs.
Among all the granites black galaxy is the costliest and its availability is also low.
It is the main stone exported by the company.
The following chart shows the different states and places from which each stone is
purchased.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
To produce per square feet of granite the power costs around Rs. 6.50 to Rs. 8.00
Production process of the company is explained with the help of 6 steps. Let us look into
each step briefly
STEP 1:
The stones bought from different places are stored in open space. The stones are
purchased in Cubic Meter and this has to be cut into square feet i.e., into slabs. To start
the production the stone has to be carried to the cutting section and this is done using a
gantry. Gantry is 3 Crane like machine which is capable of lifting the sections. The
capacity of the gantry is 25 tones.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
STEP2:
In this stage the Cubic Stone is cut into a smaller size of 20 slabs. They are out
once at a time using sharp blades made up of diamond powdered edges containing
segments.
The diamond tools with segments facilitates easy and fast cutting of the blocks into slabs.
Each blade can be used for 19-20 times. The blade is available with different diameters.
The cost of the blade varies for different blades with different diameters. The 3 blades
utilized by Krishna Stone Tech are;
C. Blade with 2.7m diameter costing about Rs. 4.5 lakhs (1 machine)
The cost of each diamond tool is Rs. 1, 05,000 per set. The segments contained in each
blade are given as follows;
a) Blade with 2.2m diameter consists of diamond tool consisting 12% segments
After cutting every 18,000 Sq feet of stone the segments need to be changed.
Here it is to be noted that to cut black stone only water is used and for. Cutting the
other colored stones kerosene is used.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Step 3:
After cutting the Cubic Stone into slabs, these slabs are again bought and stored in
the open space with the help of gantry. Now, these slabs are ready for polishing.
Step 4:
In this section slabs are polished. The slabs are polished with the help of machine
having polythene bricks. Polishing is normally accompanied with heater and also
kerosene to retain the glow of the granite. Krishna
After this stage the slabs can be sold as such or processed further.

Step 5:
Sand blasting stage or flaming stage. In this stage the slabs are polished such that
they become non slippery. Non slippery surface polishing is done using sand blasting
method or flaming method in which LPG gas cylinder is made use of...
Step 6:
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After polishing (Sand Blasting / Flaming done on order basis) the next steps is
edge cutting and random cutting. The machine used for edge cutting has 2 parallel sliding
blades which help to give smoother finish along with a particular sized tile say 11/11.
This process is accomplished by kerosene so as to cool it and give a proper finish.
The size of the blades of the machine is about 14 inches. Each blade costs about a
Rs. 6500. One set of blade is used for every 14,000 Sq feet of granite slabs. Krishna
Stone -Tech has 4 edge cutting machines, each machine costs around Rs. 60,000 to
RS‘70,000. These machines are provided with filters so as to retain the kerosene utilized.
Duringthe process.
Boarding Machines (Hitachi SIS) are also used for preparing certain other
accessories like Grinders, Basins, Pots etc.; these machines give the Granite a hollow
round shape. These accessories need a final polish and hence after cutting of the granite
into required accessory they are sending for final mirror polish this completes the
production process of Krishna Stone Tech Pvt. Ltd.
