Production line and factory setup overview
A compact casting line making repeatable 3D gypsum wall panels from measured gypsum slurry, fibre reinforcement and designed moulds, followed by setting, demoulding, controlled drying, edge finishing and packing.
Recommended lowest-entry line configuration Start with 6-10 contractor-approved 3D designs and one panel size; prove flatness, reinforcement and dry handling before adding patterns.
Production process and implementation sequence
- Material dosing and slurry mixing
- Mould release and reinforcement placement
- 3D casting and vibration
- Setting and careful demoulding
- Controlled drying and edge finishing
- Visual inspection, packing and dispatch
Products, capacity and market fit
- Use local gypsum only after test casting.
- Mould quality and controlled drying govern saleable finish.
- Launch with a focused design range and contractor samples.
- 3D gypsum wall panels - Panel size, relief depth, flatness, reinforcement, edge accuracy and dryness - Interior decorators, retailers, offices, hotels and housing projects
Core production machinery and line specifications
| Machine / stage | Function / value | Production note |
