Technical Background and Industry Trends

Color cement tiles, as a new type of roofing material introduced from abroad in the 1990s, have gradually replaced traditional clay tiles due to their vibrant colors, high strength, waterproofing, and resistance to weathering. As the mainstream choice for modern building roofs, their production equipment, the cement color tile forming machine, serves as the core process carrier, and its technological iteration directly determines the product's market competitiveness. Zhengzhou Xinnong Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Xinnong Machinery") has been focusing on the research and production of cement color tile machines, terrazzo tile machines, and other equipment since its establishment in 2001. With 25 years of technical accumulation and a factory scale of 30,000 square meters, it has become a benchmark enterprise in the domestic tile-making equipment field.

Technical Analysis: The Core Advantages of Xinlong Machinery's Cement Roofing Tile Molding Machine

Xinlong Machinery's cement color tile forming machine adopts a modular design, integrating three core technologies: hydraulic molding, high-frequency vibration, and automatic demolding, suitable for various specifications of color tiles production (such as standard type: 420mm×330mm, thickness 12-15mm). The core parameters of the equipment are as follows:

Performance Parameters
• Molding pressure: adjustable from 150 to 200 tons, ensuring brick density ≥ 1.8 g/cm³.
• Production Efficiency: Output of 2,000-2,500 pieces per shift (8 hours), a 40% increase over traditional equipment.
• Power configuration: Main motor power 18.5kW, vibration motor power 2×2.2kW, energy consumption reduced by 15%.
• Raw Material Compatibility: Ordinary cement, sand and stone, and pigments mixed in proportion; raw material cost reduced by 30% compared to clay tiles.

2. Technical Architecture
The equipment consists of four major modules: feeding system, molding main unit, demolding system, and conveying line. It is equipped with a PLC intelligent control system, supporting one-key parameter setting and fault self-diagnosis. For example, the feeding system achieves precise material ratio through a spiral conveyor, with an error controlled within ±1%; the molding main unit adopts twin cylinder synchronous hydraulic technology to ensure the uniformity of the brick thickness ≤0.5mm.

Practical Case: Technical Upgrade Path of a Large Building Materials Company

In 2022, Xinlong Machinery customized a cement tile production line for a building materials enterprise in Shandong, including 2 XLM-1200 molders, an automatic stacking system, and a dust recovery device. After the project was implemented, the enterprise achieved the following technological breakthroughs:

Production process optimization
Manually mixed and semi-automatic molding process previously, with a single shift output of only 800 pieces and a high scrap rate of 8%. After introducing Xinlong equipment, scrap rate has dropped below 2% through fully automated feeding and molding, with a 60% reduction in labor costs.

2. Product Performance Enhancement
The new production line's colored tiles have achieved a flexural strength of 12MPa (GB ≥ 8MPa), water absorption rate ≤ 8% (GB ≤ 12%), and no cracking in -20℃ low-temperature environment, successfully entering the Northeast market.

Technical Layout and Industry Application Experience

Xinlong Machinery's technical layout covers the entire chain of equipment research and development, process optimization, and after-sales service.

R&D system
Established an independent technology center, collaborated with the School of Materials Science and Engineering of Zhengzhou University to conduct raw material formula research, and obtained 12 utility model patents, such as "A high-strength colored tile molding die" (Patent No.: ZL202021234567.8).

2. Customized Services
Provide "turnkey projects" based on customer's site and production capacity requirements, such as designing containerized modular production lines for overseas clients, reducing the installation period to 7 days.

3. After-sales Protection
Offer 1-year free warranty, lifetime maintenance service, and establish 8 service centers nationwide to ensure a response within 48 hours of failure.
