Production line and factory setup overview
Casts lightweight polyurethane artificial-stone panels in textured moulds, followed by controlled curing, edge trimming, colour/finish work, inspection and packing.
Recommended lowest-entry line configuration Begin with a limited collection of approved moulds and sample panels. The line must use a documented two-component PU system, ventilation, PPE and tests for colour, geometry and mounting.
Production process and implementation sequence
- Mould cleaning/release preparation
- PU metering and pigment preparation
- Textured panel casting
- Controlled cure and demoulding
- Edge trim and finish
- Sample matching, inspection and packing
Products, capacity and market fit
- Approve a physical sample and the intended installation system.
- Launch with a limited, saleable profile or finish range.
- Keep batch records for material, mould and quality checks.
- Lightweight PU artificial-stone panels - Texture fidelity, panel dimensions, density, cure, colour consistency, edge quality and mounting compatibility - Interior fit-out, shops, restaurants, housing developers and decorative-material dealers
Core production machinery and line specifications
| Machine / stage | Function / value | Production note |
|---|---|---|
| PU dispensing unit | Meters resin system | Ratio and batch record |
| Textured panel moulds | Creates stone appearance | Limited launch collection |
| Cure/trim station | Stabilises and sizes panels | Ventilated cure area |
| Finish/QC bench | Matches colour and texture | Approved control sample |
Raw materials, utilities and factory requirements
- Specified PU resin system, approved pigments, release agent, touch-up finish, mounting samples and protective cartons
- Stable power, extraction/ventilation and dry covered storage
- Guarded cutting equipment, documented maintenance and essential spares
Indicative low-entry investment and implementation plan
These planning ranges prioritize economical machinery, local labor and local civil works. Final pricing follows confirmed capacity, product specification, delivery terms and site conditions.
| Scope | Indicative range | Entry-plan note |
|---|---|---|
| Metering/mixing and extraction | US$15k–45k | Controlled PU casting |
| Moulds, trimming and finishing | US$12k–50k | Selected stone textures |
| Indicative entry total | US$35k–110k | Chemical inventory excluded |
