Benefits of Fiber Cement Board Production Line

Extensive Applications
Fiber cement board is used in various domestic power generation industry, fire and flame retardant for cable projects in factories, chemical enterprises and other places with intensive electricity costs. It is also the best fire retardant material for interior decoration fire retardant projects in large shopping malls, hotels, guesthouses, document halls, closed clothing markets, light industry markets, theaters and other public places.

Light Weight
Density: Traditional technology-produced fiber cement board is 1.2 - 1.6g/m3, and our board is 1.0-1.7g/m3. Compared with the traditional board, our board could be lightweight. For example, on a 10mm 1220x2440mm board, the panel weight could be 10kg lighter. That means saving more labor costs during production and transportation, which also means the delivery could be longer based on the same situation.

Eco-friendly & Customized
This new production technology uses the fiberglass mesh as the reinforced material instead of the pulp fiber, so that is more environmentally friendly and easy to produce. At the same time, you could adjust different layers of the mesh to achieve different strengths.

Various Options
With our machine, you could have more options to choose various raw materials for the fiber cement board production than using the traditional production line. Because the traditional production line could only use the pulp as raw material, which is an energy-intensive raw material, so that many governments now do not support the production and use of pulp.

Introduction to The Manufacturing Process Of Fiber Cement Board Production Line

Raw Materials
The main raw materials of fiber cement board are cement, synthetic fiber, pulp, water, etc. Pulp is a kind of cellulosic mass produced by chemical decomposition of plant fiber. Its main component is cellulose.

Mixing
First, the pulp needs to be dissolved in water, then ground to a certain fineness, and finally added with synthetic fiber. This kind of mixture is usually made in a large silo. After chemical reaction, hydrogen bridge will be generated, which will mix various materials together. Finally, cement is added to the machine and the manufacturing process begins.

Board Making
The part can use Sinopower's fiber cement board making machinery, which is the core part of the production process. Three cylindrical filters are agitated in a cement fiber mixture to form a film of about 0.9 mm thickness, which will surround the mixing stick as required until a certain thickness is achieved. This process takes about 20 to 100 seconds, depending on the size and form of the panel. The diameter of the mixing stick can determine the length of the panel, which can be cut to its original shape. If you need to produce boards of different sizes, you can do it with different option settings.

Pressing And Drying
First of all, the steel template is placed in the middle layer. The pressing pressure is about 10000 tons, so as to discharge the excess water. Then the moisture content of the panel will be reduced from 28% to 15%, and its density will gradually increase. Cement and water will continue to harden gradually through chemical reaction, and heat will be released in the process. This material has enough time to complete the hardening process. After three weeks, its moisture content can be maintained at 7% or 8%, then the panel can be ready for the next procedure. In the first step, the panel needs to be dried. Compared with autoclaved fiber cement, air dried fiber cement has lower porosity and easier processing.

How to Maintain Fiber Cement Board Production Line

Cleaning Tip
This is a general cleaning tip that can help you save time. Surface dirt and grime will flow down the wall with the water, thanks to gravity, so be sure to start at the top.

Use The Right Tools
Here's where you get to make a big decision: Garden hose or pressure-washer. If you rinse the siding with a garden hose, there's not much else needed. But if you choose a pressure-washer, beware of this limitation: To clean fiber cement siding with a pressure washer-A pressure washer can help you cover more ground quickly, but applying too much pressure can actually do damage to your fiber cement siding. To reduce the risk of damage, stay at least 6 feet from the wall and keep the pressure below 1,500 psi.

Remove Stubborn Spots With A Soft Brush Or Cloth
Most homeowners opt for a soft-bristle paint brush, horsehair brush, or chip brush.

Use A Mild Detergent If Necessary
To attack stubborn mold or mildew, create a mild detergent by mixing water with one of the following active ingredients: baking soda, bleach, or ammonia. After gentle scrubbing, rinse the surface with plain water.

4 Steps of Fiber Cement Board Production Line Installation

Choosing Your Siding
Fiber cement boards are always made from the same combination of materials, a mixture of wood fibers and Portland cement. However, you still have to pick the style and color you want. Fiber cement can be molded and cut into many types of boards (resembling wood down to the grain patterns), so you will have many choices regarding the width of your boards, vertical vs. horizontal siding, as well as other options.

Predrilling and Preparation
The fiber cement siding installation process itself is similar to other siding projects, but may take a bit of extra work on the part of your contractor. Like other types of siding, fiber cement is installed against a protective layer and nailed into the studs, but fiber cement is tough - very tough. Unless you or your professionals are using heavy-duty pneumatic nail guns, it may be necessary to predrill holes in the boards to prepare them.

Nailing and Fiber Cement Siding Installation
Fiber cement boards are typically nailed with corrosion-resistant screws or nails: Other methods like brackets or staples cannot support these heavy boards. C-wing screws can help hide fastening in more obvious places or when boards need to be attached to metal studs, while galvanized hot-tipped nails should be used for traditional wood studs. While it may be tempting to drive the nails in deeply, this is a bad practice in siding installation. Nails should be flush with the board.

Cleanup
Cutting fiber cement boards can create a lot of dust around a site. This dust is more dangerous than sawdust, so wearing masks is common to avoid breathing it in. Cleanup afterward is also important to remove any linger piles. Washing off the installed boards may also be common practice.

Q: Does cement board need to be sealed?

A: When installed, cement board is water-resistant, not water-proof. This means cement board needs waterproofing. Before you install any tiles, all the seams, cracks, screws and corners need to be properly sealed and waterproofed. Some builders even recommend sealing all the large flat areas as well.

Q: Do you need waterproofing over cement board?

A: One thing to remember about cement board is that it can be highly absorbent. Without any moisture-resistant properties, it may cause mold and fungal growth if not covered with a waterproof layer before adding tile -especially in areas of high moisture, such as bathrooms.

Q: How do you finish where cement board meets drywall?

A: Apply Mesh Tape: Use self-adhesive mesh tape where the drywall and cement board meet. Apply Joint Compound: Spread 2–3 coats of setting-type joint compound over the seam, waiting 24 hours between coats1. This product produces a better finish over mesh tape than all-purpose joint compound.
