Here introduce two ways of making flexible outdoor soft stone:
Manual machines for producing flexible outdoor soft stone walls play a crucial role in smaller-scale operations or specialized projects where customization and craftsmanship are prioritized. Below are several case studies showcasing successful implementations of manual machines for soft stone wall production.
Case 1: surface coatings
Location: AJMER(RAJ)-INDIA
Objective: To decoration outdoor walls projects.
Manual Machine Configuration:
Manual Mixer: A compact, portable mixer for combining aggregates and binding agents.
Handheld Molding Tools: Custom-designed molds for producing unique panel designs.
Finishing Tools: Manual trowels and chisels for shaping and finishing the stone surfaces.
Advantages:
Manual production has high flexibility and can quickly adjust the production process according to demand. It is more suitable for high-quality soft magnetic products, high-quality display, and craft display.
Outcome:
The artisan process allowed for high levels of customization, appealing to clients seeking unique garden features.
Increased client satisfaction and referrals, leading to a 40% increase in project inquiries.
A flexible outdoor soft stone wall production line is designed to manufacture decorative and functional wall panels made from soft stone materials. This production line focuses on efficiency, quality, and adaptability to meet various design requirements. Below are several case studies highlighting successful implementations of such production lines.
Production Line Configuration:
Raw Material Handling: Utilized hoppers for storing crushed soft stones and aggregates.
Mixing System: Incorporated a high-efficiency mixer to blend aggregates with resin for durability.
Molding System: Custom molds designed for various panel sizes and textures, allowing for a wide range of designs.
Finishing: Automated cutting and finishing stations to ensure precise dimensions and surface quality.
Advantages:
Production efficiency: Semi-automatic production increases production speed and efficiency through partially automated equipment.
Accuracy and Consistency: Semi-automatic production equipment can improve product accuracy and consistency and reduce human error.
Flexibility: Although semi-automatic production is slightly less flexible than fully automatic production, it can still be adjusted according to needs.
Cost: Semi-automatic production may require higher equipment investment in the initial stage, but in the long run, it can reduce labor costs and improve production efficiency.
What is the Soft porcelain
Soft porcelain is (MCM material, Modified
Clay Materials) refers to modified clay
As the main raw material, special temperature-controlled modeling is used
System molding, drying, irradiation and cross-linking
A flexible architectural decorative surface material
Soft porcelain can be designed in a variety of colors and textures, such as imitation stone, wood grain and wood series, and can be used as a substitute for solid wood flooring. Compared with solid wood flooring, soft porcelain is made from non-wood and can be reused. In addition, soft porcelain is also anti-slip and moisture-proof. Soft porcelain can be spread in the bathroom without being damaged by moisture. Soft porcelain has excellent decorative effects and is suitable for some specific places. In terms of architectural decoration, it is suitable for home decoration spaces and exterior walls. This kind of place is more suitable for places with high decorative effect requirements, such as KTV, hotels, fitness, etc. Soft porcelain has decorative effects that ceramic tiles cannot achieve. In terms of home decoration, soft porcelain can stay dry and is suitable for bathrooms, children’s rooms, and bedrooms.
Normal size : 600*1200 mm / 1200*2400mm / 1200*3000 mm

drying rack, drying room
3. Fully automatic production
Automatic batching equipment, split production line, mold pad, drying rack, drying room
Automatic batching equipment, straight-through production line
Auxiliary equipment:
cutting machine, 1 servo cutting machine, 2 cnc cutting machine
Printer, 1, UV printer, 2, inorganic ink printer
Dust treatment equipment, 1 water curtain dust collector, 2 pulse bag dust collector
air compressor
Construction steps:
1. Before paving soft porcelain, the base layer must first be processed. After the base layer is processed, the dropped wires and elastic wires must be positioned.
2. Scrape the slurry on the back of the product until the slurry filling rate is over 80%, and draw out the zigzag pattern.
3. Move the product with both hands, adjust the seam width, tap with a rubber plate and do not press with your fingers.
4. Use plastic bags to fill the gaps with caulking slurry, or use silicone glue to fill the gaps.
5. When the caulking agent is semi-dry, use steel bars to pull out the concave seams.
6. Use a scraper to scrape off areas contaminated by adhesives and caulking agents.
7. Use a dry sponge to wipe away dust and stains, and the construction is completed.
