1. Raw Material Mixing: Precision in Composition.
The production begins with the meticulous blending of raw materials. High-purity quartz crystals (93–95%), polymer resins (6–8%), and mineral pigments are combined in automated mixers. The quartz is sourced from crushed natural quartz or industrial byproducts, minimizing waste. Advanced software ensures uniform distribution of pigments and resins, creating a homogeneous mixture. To reduce dust emissions, closed-loop mixing systems and dust collectors are employed, safeguarding worker health and air quality.
2. Slab Compaction: Vacuum Vibration Technology.
The mixed material is poured into molds and subjected to vacuum vibration compaction. This step, performed under high-pressure conditions (100–150 tons), removes air bubbles and compacts the mixture into dense, void-free slab blanks. The process uses energy-efficient hydraulic presses equipped with noise-dampening technology to protect operators from excessive noise exposure.Recycled steel molds further align with sustainability goals.
3. Thermal Curing: Polymerization Under Controlled Conditions.
The compacted slabs undergo **high-temperature curing** in industrial ovens at 80–120°C. This triggers resin polymerization, transforming the slabs into durable, non-porous products. Heat recovery systems capture excess thermal energy, reducing overall energy consumption by up to 30%. Automated monitoring ensures consistent quality while minimizing human intervention in high-temperature zones, enhancing workplace safety.
4. Surface Polishing: Achieving Perfection.
Post-curing, slabs are polished using diamond abrasives in multi-stage grinding machines. Water-cooled polishing systems reduce friction heat and recycle water, cutting water usage by 50%.
