What annual capacity can an Amulite fiber cement board production line reach?

Amulite fiber cement board and calcium silicate board lines are configured from 1 million m² to 30 million m² per year. Capacity is decided by sheet machine width (1,300–1,600 mm), forming cylinder number, autoclave volume and the level of automation in cutting, stacking and packing.

Do you supply turnkey plants including layout design and raw material formulation?

Yes. Every project includes plant layout drawings, civil and utility load data, equipment manufacturing, on-site installation supervision, formulation trials with locally sourced cement, silica sand and pulp, plus operator and maintenance training until stable output is achieved.

How long does installation and commissioning take?

Typical lead time is 90–180 days for manufacturing depending on line scale, followed by 30–60 days of mechanical installation and 15–30 days of trial production and commissioning carried out with our resident engineers.

Which countries have installed Amulite production lines?

Amulite equipment is operating in more than 60 countries across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, South America and Eastern Europe, including Pakistan, Indonesia, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Nigeria, Uzbekistan, Chile and Russia.

What after-sales support is available once the line is running?

We provide a spare-part list with recommended stock levels, remote PLC diagnostics, video technical support, on-site service visits, and process optimisation for new board thicknesses, densities or surface finishes.

Product Description

Our company produces the second-generation expanded electric furnace complete sets for vitrified microspheres, available in three models: 9-meter, 10-meter, and 12-meter electric furnaces. These systems mainly consist of a preheating furnace and an expansion furnace, along with their auxiliary components. The preheating furnace is primarily used to dry the internal crystalline water and surface moisture of the ore sand, while the expansion furnace is designed for the gradual expansion of perlite, resulting in a vitrified surface and sealed pores, producing high-quality vitrified microspheres (with a closed porosity rate of over 90%).

Advantages of the Second-Generation Electric Furnace

The main expansion furnace uses resistance strips as heating elements, and the insulation layer is made of needled blanket zirconium cotton, making it lightweight, durable, and significantly improving the furnace chamber’s constant temperature effect. Compared to traditional refractory brick insulation, it increases production by 15% and is more convenient for long-distance transportation.
Cyclone dust removal combined with bag dust removal meets national emission standards, ensuring no dust emissions during production, truly achieving green and pollution-free operation, and qualifying as green, environmentally friendly equipment.
The electrical control system of the expansion furnace adopts a PID multi-zone intelligent temperature control system, ensuring the product quality requirements of vitrified microspheres while significantly reducing labor costs.
The furnace is divided into 5-6 heating and temperature control zones, each using an integrated modular temperature control system. This enhances the reliability of the equipment’s electrical control, provides higher temperature control accuracy, and includes manual operation functionality for convenient equipment maintenance.

Advantages of the Third-Generation Electric Furnace

The traditional mode of directly blowing finished materials into the storage silo has been improved. Since the temperature of the finished materials when discharged from the expansion furnace is around 800°C, the waste heat utilization-type electric furnace directly discharges the finished materials through the central pipe of the preheating furnace, utilizing the residual heat of the finished materials to supplement the drying of the raw ore sand.
Overall power consumption per ton is reduced by approximately 30%, and the finished materials undergo secondary vitrification, achieving a closed porosity rate of about 95%.

Open-Cell Expanded Perlite Gas-Fired Furnace

Based on market demand and years of experience in producing vitrified microsphere electric furnaces, our company has successfully developed a new generation of domestic open-cell expanded perlite gas-fired furnaces by improving the furnace structure and integrating gas heating principles.

This production line features high output, low energy consumption, and a fully automatic temperature control system. It effectively utilizes the waste heat from the main expansion gas furnace to preheat and dry the ore sand. Since the preheating furnace entirely relies on the waste heat from the main furnace to dry the ore sand, it saves approximately 70 cubic meters of energy consumption per hour.

The gas consumption per ton has been reduced from the previous 300 cubic meters per hour to less than 240 cubic meters per hour. Additionally, the entire equipment has undergone environmental upgrades, adopting a two-stage dust removal method combining multi-tube dust removal and bag dust removal. This ensures the entire production line is completely free of dust pollution, making it more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. With a daily production capacity of 50-70 tons of perlite, it creates higher economic and social benefits for customers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1 What models are available for the second-generation electric furnace complete sets?

We offer three standard models: 9-meter, 10-meter, and 12-meter electric furnaces. These systems consist of a preheating furnace, an expansion furnace, and their auxiliary components.

Q2 What is the closed porosity rate achieved by these expansion furnaces?
