Q1. How to choose the right production capacity for a gypsum board line?
Our lines offer 2–30 million m²/year capacity (based on 9.5mm thickness). Choose based on market demand, budget, plant size, and 3–5 year plans. For regional markets, lower capacity is suitable; for national/international markets, higher capacity is recommended. We also offer customized capacity planning.
Q2. What fuels can be used and what's the difference?
Available fuels: coal, natural gas, heavy oil, diesel.
Coal: low cost, high pollution, needs environmental treatment
Natural gas: clean and efficient, higher cost
Heavy oil/diesel: stable burning, good efficiency, higher cost than coal
Choose based on local energy availability, cost, and regulations.
Q3. How important is raw material preparation?
It's critical. High-purity gypsum powder ensures board strength; additives like retarders and foaming agents optimize setting time, density, and insulation; strong, water-resistant facing paper improves durability. Poor materials may cause cracks, deformation, or low strength.
Q4. How does automation improve production stability?
Our PLC system automates dosing, mixing, forming, drying, and more. It adjusts parameters in real time to minimize human error. With fault detection and auto-stop alarms, problems are quickly identified and fixed, ensuring stable, continuous production.
Q5. How is fire resistance ensured?
Gypsum (calcium sulfate dihydrate) releases water when heated, absorbing heat and slowing temperature rise. The steam forms a barrier to block flames. Our production strictly follows GB 9775-2008 to guarantee fire resistance.
Q6. How is product quality consistency maintained across batches?
Through strict raw material checks and full process automation. Key parameters like mixing time and drying temperature are precisely controlled. Finished boards undergo multiple tests for strength, thickness, flatness, and water absorption. Only qualified products are shipped.
