Production line and factory setup overview
Produces magnesium-oxide construction boards from qualified MgO, magnesium salt solution, mineral fillers and reinforcement through precise mixing, mat/sheet forming, pressing, controlled curing, drying/conditioning, cutting, surface finishing, test and packing.
Recommended lowest-entry line configuration Start only after testing the local climate and verifying a stable MgO and magnesium-salt supply. The product formula must control moisture sensitivity, chloride-related corrosion risk, dimensional movement and fastener compatibility; claims must follow tested board performance.
Production process and implementation sequence
- Raw-material qualification
- Magnesium-salt solution and filler batching
- Reinforcement/mat preparation
- Sheet forming and pressing
- Controlled cure and conditioning
- Drying/calibration
- Cutting/surface finishing
- Moisture, strength and corrosion-risk release
Products, capacity and market fit
- Confirm the intended application, applicable standard and buyer acceptance test.
- Use a defined product family and documented formula/tooling at launch.
- Keep material, curing/firing and release records for every lot.
- Magnesium-oxide construction boards - MgO grade, density, thickness, flexural strength, moisture movement, water resistance, chloride content, fastener compatibility and fire classification - Interior partitions, ceilings, prefabricated buildings, fire-rated assemblies and building-material distributors
