Production line and factory setup overview
A decorative casting workshop making circular ceiling medallions and rosettes using detailed reusable moulds, controlled gypsum mix, embedded reinforcement, slow demoulding, drying, hand finishing and protective packaging.
Recommended lowest-entry line configuration Launch with 8-12 common diameters and classic designs; test the centre fixing zone, edge detail and handling strength with installers.
Production process and implementation sequence
- Design/sample approval
- Slurry preparation and mould release
- Casting with centre and reinforcement fixtures
- Controlled setting and demoulding
- Drying, hand repair and sanding
- Fixing-zone inspection and packing
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.
- Gypsum ceiling medallions and rosettes - Diameter, relief detail, centre opening, reinforcement, dryness and finish - Ceiling installers, decorators, heritage renovation and residential projects
