The production of fiber cement sheets in our plantsMaterial Preparation for Fiber Cement Production
Thanks to the expertise of a team of professional fiber cement process experts, as well as highly efficient machines and technologies, we ensure the lowest production costs. This includes the material preparation with sand grinding mill, sand slurry silos as well as openers and refiners for cellulose.
Dosing and mixing / sheet production
Widerange's computerized smart dosing and mixing plant prepares slurry which is further diluted and fed into the sieve cylinder sheeting machine. Thin layers are formed on 3 to 6 sieve cylinders and transferred onto a felt. The layers are accumulated around the forming roller until the preset thickness has been reached and the sheet can automatically be cut off.
Thickness control
Advanced self-adjusting sheet thickness control system ensures minimum thickness variations. This saves material (no over thickness) and reduces rejects (under thickness) which finally increases plant output and economy for customers.
Cutting
We use an advanced fiber cement factory commissioning
techniques and high-end technology in the manufacturing of our fiber cement products. With a full range of machines including cutters for all purposes such as cutting and punching press, guillotine knife cutter, water jet cutter or just circular knife cutter, we make sure to meet all your cutting requirements.
Pressing
Single sheet presses for corrugated or embossed roofing sheets or stack presses for high compressed flat sheets improve the sheet density and quality - an important factor for improved frost resistance.
Autoclaving / calcium-silicate:
Equipment and extensive know-how for the steam curing technology as this is also process-relevant for Widerange's panel plants. Widerange's automatic autoclave system allows easy control of the complex chemical process in the autoclave.
Coloured sheets
If your market requires more beautiful roofing, Widerange also provides a range of equipment for colouring sheets, such as through-pigmented, top layer, or surface paint-coated. Paint coating increases beauty and improves quality.
