gypsum board equipment

Drywall Manufacturing Equipment
Gypsum can be a difficult material to work with due to its variability,
tendency to harden into a cement-like form, and its abrasive nature. Therefore,
choosing a heavy-duty handling solution designed for the unique characteristics
of the gypsum sample to be treated will provide the best results.
Wuxing has always been committed to providing the highest quality custom
plaster equipment and process solutions.

Gypsum board manufacturing process
The manufacturing process of gypsum board can be divided into the following six
steps:

Raw material handling: All raw materials including gypsum powder, water and
other additives enter the mixer through the automatic metering system and
conveying system. After mixing, the gypsum slurry produced by the mixer is
evenly spread on the surface of the continuously moving base paper.
Stirring: With constant movement and vibration, the gypsum slurry gradually
spreads and is evenly spread on the surface of the moving base paper. Then it
enters the forming machine and is compounded with tissue paper.
Molding: Through extrusion molding, the gypsum slurry is sealed by the top
paper and bottom paper. This results in a pulp continuous drywall. The wet
gypsum board is conveyed by the shaping belt, and gradually takes shape after
the board is shaped, naturally condensed, and automatically cut. After the wet
boards are arranged by the program-controlled system, they pass through the 1#
horizontal conveyor and plate turner, and then quickly enter the dryer through
the distribution bridge.
Drying: Under strict control of the temperature zone of the dryer, use hot air
at different temperatures to dry the wet board. Modified starch will stick to
the paper. The dry drywall is then removed from the dryer.
Cutting and edge sealing: Fold the gypsum boards over again (face inward), cut
them into finished products of a certain size, and seal the edges to meet
customer requirements.
Stacking: Finally, it comes to automatic stacking machines for stacking. After
stacking, it can be transported to the warehouse by forklift.
