Dry hanging hollow ceramic plate or curtain wall area "new favorite"

The national standard for publishing ceramic plates tends to mature. On December 31, 2011, the National Standardization Administration issued a national standard for hanging hollow ceramic plates. The standard will be implemented from October 1 this year. As a new type of building material, the introduction of the standard undoubtedly has a huge thrust on the market application of the product.

As a new type of curtain wall material, dry-hanging hollow ceramic plate has many advantages compared with traditional stone, aluminum and glass. After entering the curtain wall industry, it will seize the market share of other materials. According to Wu Junliang, the sales director of Foshan Modena Machinery Co., Ltd., who participated in the development of national standards for ceramic plates, since the first production of extruded ceramic plates by Zhejiang Ruigao in 2006, the ceramic plates have been characterized by high efficiency, energy saving, environmental protection, and investment saving. The market accepted that after a short period of more than six years of rapid development, the output of 264,000 square meters that had been put into operation that year had soared to 2.27 million square meters in 2010, with an average growth rate of 78%.

With the expansion of the market share of ceramic products, some problems have also been exposed. In particular, there is a lack of uniform standards among ceramic companies. After they have been put into the market, they have also triggered the length, width and tensile strength of ceramic plates. Some of the controversies have caused the ceramic plates to be in an unordered state in production and market sales. "The establishment of a unified national standard for dry hanging hollow ceramic plates will play an active role in ensuring orderly market competition."

Hunan Xiangtan Weida Electromechanical Manufacturing Co., Ltd., as another company participating in the formulation of national standards for ceramic plates, also fully affirmed the significance of the introduction of the national standard. "The introduction of standards will be more conducive to the development of the market, this is the product level, but also good news for the entire industry of the ceramic plate." Chairman Wu Zhenghua said that at present domestic ceramic plate production equipment has basically achieved localization. Will directly reduce the cost of the company.

According to Wu Junliang, as of September 2011, there were a total of 28 production lines for producing ceramic plates. Modena's furnace products topped the list with a domestic market share of 64.3%. In the overall production line, Wu Zhenghua also revealed that Wei Da has an absolute market share.

The maturation of equipment is a prerequisite for the development of ceramic plates. In January this year, Modena also introduced a self-developed “dry-hanging hollow ceramic plate energy-saving high-efficiency five-layer roller-type dryer” and “extrusion dry hanging hollow” through technological innovation. Ceramic energy-efficient roller kiln." Dry hanging hollow ceramic plate energy-efficient five-layer roller-type dryer, the ceramic plate used to require 24 hours of drying time, shortened to 3-5 hours; in the firing of ceramic plates, traditional clay firing through the tunnel kiln, about the need In 18 hours, Modena's newly developed extrusion-hanging hollow ceramic energy-saving and high-efficiency roller kiln shortens the firing time of the ceramic plate to 2-4 hours, and reduces the heat consumption per unit of product by more than 10%.

The use of engineering channels as the main application area for ceramics was gradually expanded. At the promotion meeting of the Huatai TOB Exports and Exports on the 16th, the reporter found that almost all the use of the ceramics were public buildings. Afterwards, Wu Guoliang also confirmed this to the reporter and explained why. . “Curtain walls are generally the facades of public buildings, and ceramic plates are used as a type of curtain wall material, so they are used in large numbers in these buildings.” The reporter also found on the site of another ceramic plate manufacturer Xinjiali Ceramics that their products are also Widely used in public buildings across the country.

Terracotta originated in Germany. Since 2006, ceramic plates have been produced in China. However, the history of using ceramic plates in domestic buildings dates back to the 1990s. Such a use time also proves the performance of products. .

“When large-scale production of ceramic plates has not yet been carried out in China, the products used are dependent on imports. The prices are extremely expensive, the delivery time is long, and they cannot be supplied in large quantities.” Wu Yan, General Manager of Marketing of TOB Ceramics at Huatai Group, introduced ceramic plates in China In the development process, "the cost of making ceramic plates is much lower than that of imported products, and they are even more abundant in product specifications than they are."

Wu Junliang is very optimistic about the development prospects of the ceramic plate market. He analyzed that at present, the share of ceramic plates in China's architectural curtain walls is not too large, accounting for only about 1%, but the advantages of ceramic plates are glass curtain walls and stone materials. Curtain walls and so on are far beyond reach, so in the next 5-10 years, the share of ceramic plates in China's architectural curtain walls is likely to increase to around 10%. Its market prospects and development space are still very large.

It is understood that there are currently about 15 ceramic companies in China, and more ceramic companies will enter the ranks this year, but Wu Guoliang emphasized that although the domestic market for ceramics is relatively large, not every company is suitable to do so. "For example, a company in Foshan does not have an advantage in terms of raw materials."

“At the end of this year, TOB will receive an indoor project of 100,000 square meters. We will wait and see.” On the 16th, Wu Hao disclosed such a message when he introduced the product. If the ceramic material used as curtain wall material is used in large areas indoors, In the field of application, there is no doubt a major breakthrough.
