Production line and factory setup overview
An extrusion and printing/lamination line making hollow PVC suspended-ceiling panels from PVC resin, calcium-carbonate filler, stabiliser and colour masterbatch, followed by profile calibration, cutting, surface decoration, inspection and packing.
Recommended lowest-entry line configuration Start with one saleable panel width and a limited décor range; validate formulation, fire/smoke requirement, profile weight, surface adhesion and local installer demand.
Production process and implementation sequence
- Resin/filler formulation and premixing
- Twin-screw extrusion and profile calibration
- Cooling, haul-off and length cutting
- Printing or decorative-film lamination
- Profile/weight/surface inspection
- Protective packing and batch labelling
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.
- PVC suspended-ceiling panels - Panel width, thickness, weight per metre, profile geometry, surface adhesion and colour consistency - Ceiling installers, retailers, kitchens, shops, offices and housing projects
Core production machinery and line specifications
