Production and equipment of gypsum board
Gypsum board is a lightweight building material widely used in construction, decoration, and other fields. It is made from gypsum as the main raw material through specific production processes and equipment. This article will briefly introduce the production process and related equipment of gypsum board.
1、 The production process of gypsum board
Raw material preparation: Firstly, it is necessary to prepare gypsum powder, water, and other additives such as retarders, reinforcing agents, etc.
Mixing: Put gypsum powder, water, and additives in a certain proportion into a mixer for thorough mixing to form a uniform gypsum slurry.
Forming: Pour the mixed gypsum slurry into the pre prepared mold, and use methods such as vibration and compaction to tightly fill the stone paste inside the mold, forming a gypsum slab.
Dehydration: Put the gypsum board into a dryer for dehydration treatment to achieve a certain degree of drying.
Cutting: Cut the dried gypsum board according to the predetermined size to obtain the final gypsum board product.
2、 Gypsum board production equipment
Mixer: used to mix and stir gypsum powder, water, and additives into gypsum slurry.
Mold: used to hold gypsum slurry and form gypsum slab, can be customized in different shapes and sizes according to actual needs.
Vibrator: used to vibrate gypsum slurry during the molding process, making it tightly filled in the mold.
Drying machine: used for dehydration treatment of gypsum slabs to achieve a certain degree of drying.
Cutting machine: used to cut the dried gypsum board according to the predetermined size.
In summary, the production process of gypsum board requires steps such as raw material preparation, stirring, molding, dehydration, and cutting, and the related production equipment includes mixers, molds, vibrators, dryers, and cutting machines.
