Technical Background and Industry Trends

Color cement tiles, as a new type of roofing material replacing traditional clay tiles, have quickly become a mainstream choice in the construction field since they were introduced to China in the 1990s, thanks to their characteristics such as storm resistance, water resistance, and anti-weathering. Zhengzhou Xinnong Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has been deeply engaged in the tile-making equipment field for 25 years since its establishment in 2001. It has formed a product matrix centered on fully automatic color tile machines, covering three major categories: cement color tile machines, terrazzo tile machines, and non-removable formwork equipment. The factory covers an area of 30,000 square meters and has an annual production capacity exceeding 1,000 units. The products are sold throughout the country and exported overseas.

Technical Architecture and Core Parameter Analysis

Xinlong Machinery's fully automatic color tile machine adopts modular design, integrating raw material mixing, mold forming, automatic demolding, and stacking system, supporting 24-hour continuous production. The core parameters of the equipment are as follows:

• Molding pressure120-150 tons adjustable, suitable for different tile thicknesses (4-6mm).
• Production EfficiencySingle-line daily production capacity reaches 8000-12000 pieces, a 40% increase over traditional equipment.
• Energy consumption controlTotal motor power: 37kW, unit wafer energy consumption less than 0.03 kWh.
• Mold CompatibilitySupports customized mold development, covering mainstream specifications from 300mm×400mm to 420mm×330mm.

The equipment is equipped with a PLC control system, which allows for dynamic adjustment of parameters via a human-machine interface. The fault self-diagnosis function can accurately locate 8 common issues such as motor overheating and hydraulic leaks, reducing downtime by over 30%.

Technical Advantages and Scenario Adaptation

Compared to traditional clay tile production lines, Xinlong Machinery's full-automatic color tile machine boasts three major advantages:

1. Environmental protectionMade from cement and sandstone, this product avoids the destruction of land resources caused by clay mining and meets the national green building material standards.
2. DurabilityThe flexural strength of tiles is ≥15MPa, water absorption rate ≤6%, and no deformation occurs in the environment of -30℃ to 60℃.
3. FlexibilitySupports multi-color mixing casting technology, capable of producing over 20 styles such as ancient blue tiles and Spanish tiles, meeting the differentiated needs of villas, commercial complexes, etc.

In overseas projects, Xinlong Machinery has customized a 1.2-meter wide production line for a client in Southeast Asia. By increasing the vibration table length and hydraulic system pressure, it achieves one-time molding of ultra-large tiles (600mm×800mm), with a single tile bearing up to 200kg, and has been successfully applied in the roof engineering of airport terminal buildings.

Customized services and technical support

Xinlong Machinery offers a full-service solution from equipment selection to overseas installation.

1. Requirement AnalysisBased on the customer's production capacity goals, site conditions, and budget, recommend a single-line or dual-line configuration plan.

2. Parameter tuningSend engineers to the site for raw material ratio tests, optimizing mixing time (8-12 minutes per pot) and molding speed (15-18 seconds per piece).

3. Training SupportProvide theoretical training (16 hours) for operators and practical assessment to ensure independent operation capability.

4. After-sales networkEstablish 12 service centers nationwide, commit to 48-hour response and 72-hour on-site repair, and extend the warranty period for core components (such as hydraulic pumps, reducers) to 2 years.

Technical FAQ

Q1: What are the requirements for raw material ratio in full-automatic color tile machines?
A: The ratio of cement to sand and stone is usually 1:3, requiring the addition of 0.5%-1% of pigment and 0.2% of water-reducing agent, with moisture content controlled at 6%-8% to prevent cracking.

Q2: What are the power and site adaptation requirements for the equipment?
A: Requires 380V three-phase electricity, total power reserve over 50kW; the site needs to be hardened, with single-line equipment occupying an area of about 200㎡ (including raw material storage area).

Q3: How to solve the issue of air holes on the tile surface?
A: Optimize through adjusting vibration frequency (50-60Hz) and vacuum degassing time (3-5 seconds). Xinlong Machinery and Equipment is equipped with a standard vacuum pump system, which can reduce the porosity to below 3%.
