Production line and factory setup overview
Produces terrazzo floor tiles from graded stone chips, cement, pigments and water through batching, mould filling, vibration/pressing, controlled curing, grinding/polishing, dimensional inspection and packing.
Recommended lowest-entry line configuration Start with a limited tile format and tested stone-chip blends. Verify compressive strength, water absorption, polish quality, thickness and installation compatibility before commercial production.
Production process and implementation sequence
- Chip grading and colour batching
- Cement/pigment mixing
- Mould filling and vibration/pressing
- Controlled cure
- Grinding, honing and polishing
- Dimensional/QC check and packing
Products, capacity and market fit
- Approve a physical sample and installation system.
- Start with a focused, saleable range.
- Keep records of material and quality checks.
- Terrazzo floor tiles - Tile size/thickness, chip distribution, density, compressive strength, water absorption, flatness, polish and colour consistency - Housing, shops, schools, public buildings, flooring contractors and tile dealers
Core production machinery and line specifications
| Machine / stage | Function / value | Production note |
|---|---|---|
| Chip bins/mixer | Controls terrazzo recipe | Approved blend/colour |
| Vibropress or mould station | Forms dense tiles | Thickness/density check |
| Curing racks/area | Develops strength | Controlled cure time |
| Grinding/polishing line | Reveals chip finish | Flatness/polish test |
Raw materials, utilities and factory requirements
- Graded local stone chips, cement, pigments, water, release agent, abrasives, grout/installation samples and packaging
- Stable power, dry covered workshop space and protected storage
- Guarded cutting/forming 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Mixing, moulding and vibration | US$10k–35k | Small terrazzo tile scope |
| Curing, grinding and polishing | US$15k–55k | Surface-quality equipment |
| Indicative entry total | US$35k–110k | Land, building and stock excluded |
