Horizontal Edge Polisher

Penta

Designed according to the up-to-date concepts and structural principles, the automatic multi-spindle belt polishing machine model PENTA, is remarkable for its high productivity and its high-quality performances on every kind of marble, granite, engineered stones and ceramic.

BACA Penta
Overview

Horizontal machines make processing larger countertops safer and easier because they are much easier to handle (load/unload) versus vertical machines. The Penta was designed with both backsplash & full countertop pieces in mind.

Easy to use software & a color touch screen make it very easy for the operator.

Pads and tooling on the machine are very accessible, making it easy and fast for the operator to replace worn tools. This minimizes downtime and ensure the operator is getting a quality polish every time.
