Circular economy means being sustainable. At Fravizel, we strive for sustainability across three dimensions: environmentally, socially, and economically.
Innovating implies investing many resources. Circular economy emerges as an opportunity, allowing us to achieve what was previously unthinkable. Some of the main challenges in this industry are sustainable supply, environmental footprint, digitization, and safety measures.
Circular Economy involves reducing inefficiency through material and energy reuse, playing a crucial role in boosting the economy and ensuring the planet's sustainability.
The stone sector offers vast utilization possibilities, including by-products used in various industries like sugar and cosmetics. We aim to transform companies into more efficient ones by seizing this opportunity.
Companies must develop innovations aligned with European strategies, focusing on environmental efficiency and reducing energy consumption while launching new products.
Fravizel has launched hybrid technologies like Electra and Victoria, enabling high energy efficiency and greater productivity. These machines allow for increased quantity and quality of extracted stone, along with stone processing machines (such as Toros and Luna) focused on creating new, high-value products.
We are committed to adapting to a constantly changing environment, focusing on safe, sustainable growth with maximum use of raw materials and green energy.
Let's innovate sustainably, leveraging new technologies to drive the industry forward while respecting the planet.

Why FRAVIZEL machines will make your quarrying more ecological sustainable
Stone is a perfect example of a sustainable product, and its method of exploitation can be too. It is possible to be ecologically sustainable in quarries, did you know that?
In order to achieve the goals of the European environmental pact, various measures have been taken at a social, economic and environmental level, a can be seen in figure 1.
Fravizel is an engineering company whose main objectives are the development of technology to reduce operating costs and increase productivity, carbon neutrality, hybrid technology and digitalization with working conditions and safety for the workforce. This is why it has focused on developing innovative technological solutions that comply with good environmental, social and business management (ESG) practices.

We make the operator's job easier by providing good conditions, safety and technological attractiveness (Social Sustainability). Our products promote the circular economy and hybrid technology, while protecting the environment (Environmental Sustainability). Innovation at a high level for good time management and productivity (Economic Sustainability).
Allowing for a sustainable increase in productivity through equipment that intervenes in all the necessary phases of stone extraction. Our machines are developed to meet every need, with maximum efficiency and resource management. As you can see in figure 2.

For "making it happen fast", the mobile and Aurora Line are examples, consisting of drilling and diamond wire machines (Victoria and Electra) on wheels or tracks, for the squaring phase. Based on European objectives, this line of machines was designed with the "double transition" of climate neutrality and the digital transition in mind. These machines avoid up to 87% of CO2 emissions per year and more than 80% in energy costs.
