A Flexible Stone Production Line is a specialized manufacturing system designed to produce lightweight, flexible, and aesthetically versatile stone tiles or panels. These products combine the natural appearance of stone with the flexibility and durability of modified clay materials, making them ideal for a wide range of applications in construction and interior design.
Key Components of the Production Line
Raw Material Preparation:
Modified Clay Material : The primary raw material, , is a blend of clay, minerals, and additives that enhance flexibility, durability, and color stability. It is processed into a homogeneous mixture before being fed into the production line.
Additives and Pigments: Depending on the desired properties and colors, various additives and pigments may be incorporated into the mixture to improve performance and aesthetics.
Mixing and Extrusion:
High-Precision Mixers: The mixture is thoroughly blended in high-precision mixers to ensure uniform distribution of components.
Extrusion Machines: The blended mixture is then spary into mold, flexible sheets or tiles of desired thickness (typically 5-8 mm) and size (e.g., 300×600 mm, 600×600 mm, or 600×1200 mm).
Surface Treatment and Finishing:
Texturing and Embossing: The extruded sheets may undergo texturing or embossing processes to mimic natural stone patterns, such as marble, granite, or slate.
Surface Coating: A protective coating may be applied to enhance durability, weather resistance, and color retention. This coating can also provide additional aesthetic effects, such as gloss or matte finishes.
Cutting and Shaping:
CNC Cutting Machines: The finished sheets are cut into precise sizes and shapes using CNC (Computer Numerical Control) cutting machines, ensuring accuracy and consistency.
Edge Processing: The edges of the tiles may be rounded, beveled, or processed in other ways to meet specific design requirements.
