Drywall today is probably the most popular building and finishing material. It is used everywhere, both for home repairs and in industry.
The advantages of the material presented
Before you organize a workshop and buy equipment for the production of drywall, you need to decide whether to do this business. So, among the advantages of such a factory, the following can be distinguished:
- a small amount of equipment with which you can produce a solid volume of products daily;
- high payback, since the presented product is very much in demand;
- low cost of feedstock;
- drywall can lie in the warehouse for a long time, while it does not deteriorate;
- the cost of the finished product is quite low;
- for the production of such material, automated lines are used that minimize human participation, thereby saving on staff.
It should also be noted that you can buy equipment for the production of drywall, already in use. With successful development of events it will be possible to exchange it for a new one.
What raw materials are necessary for work?
So, before choosing the equipment, it is necessary to understand what sheets are made of. You will need several components:
- facing cardboard;
- foaming agent;
- starch;
- natural gypsum for the production of drywall.
I must say that all these materials are completely safe and do not contain toxic impurities. The fact is that the above components are mined in nature. For example, cardboard is made from wood; starch - from plant materials. Gypsum is mined in special mines, where it is in the form of large hard formations. Then this material is ground, and then mixed in certain proportions with the rest of the ingredients.
Basic equipment for work
To start production, it is required to equip a small workshop with the necessary equipment. A machine for the production of drywall should be more than one. That is, you need an apparatus on which cardboard will be fixed. In addition, you will need a device where the working mass is prepared (gypsum will mix with other components).
Naturally, you will need auxiliary equipment for the production of drywall:
- conveyors;
- equipment for drying sheets;
- a device for cutting strips.
As for the purchase of machines, then this procedure should be approached very responsibly. Pay attention to the capacity of the production line, since how many products you can produce every twenty-four hours depends on this. Naturally, each machine should be of high quality. Therefore, give preference only to those manufacturers who are well established in the market. In addition, you can buy equipment on credit, by installments and even with your hands.
What is included in the production line?
To ensure maximum effect and good profit, it is better to stay on a special complex of machines. Usually it is fully automated, so you only have to follow the manufacturing process. So, the standard drywall production lines consist of the following devices:
1. Apparatus for mixing all components and forming a homogeneous semi-liquid mass.
2. Device for securing and feeding cardboard.
3.Installation for the formation of drywall strip. It is here that cardboard is fed, the prepared mass is laid on it and covered with another sheet.
4. A conveyor belt on which the width and thickness of the finished product are finally formed.
5. The drying chamber.
6. Conveyor with equipment for cutting strips into separate sheets.
7. The conveyor, on which the final cutting of drywall is made, its stacking.
Next, the finished product is transported to the warehouse.
Material production technology
In principle, there is nothing complicated. To begin with, all the necessary ingredients are poured into the mixer. Naturally, all proportions must be observed. Next, the resulting mass is laid out on the bottom layer of cardboard and covered with the top. During transportation to the drying chamber, the final proportions of the strip are formed.
Then the drywall gets into the drying chamber, where the mixture must completely harden. Then he goes for cutting, final trimming and stacking. If necessary, you can also install packaging equipment.
In principle, this is the whole process of manufacturing this material. It is not very complicated. The business should pay off in the shortest possible time, since the demand for drywall is large.
