What Are the Main Components of Gypsum Board Machinery?

Introduction

Gypsum board (also called drywall or plasterboard) production requires a coordinated set of mechanical, thermal, pneumatic and control systems. Each component plays a defined role in turning raw gypsum and paper liners into finished boards with consistent thickness, density and

surface quality. Hengshui Decheng Machinery & Equipment Co. Ltd designs and supplies complete gypsum board machinery layouts; below is a detailed, equipment-level overview of the main components found in a modern gypsum board plant.

Raw material handling and preparation

Receiving hopper and feeders: reinforced hoppers and apron/belt feeders accept crushedgypsum, recycled board, additives and other bulk inputs while protecting downstream equipment from surges.

Crushers and screens: primary crushers reduce large blocks; vibrating screens separate oversize material for recirculation.

Silos and buffer bins: intermediate storage for stucco (calcinated gypsum) and other powders; level sensors and aeration systems maintain flowability and avoid caking.

Conveying, stacking and packing

·Conveyors and crossover systems: transfer cut boards to stacking zones.

· Automatic stackers and palletizers: stack boards to specified counts, apply separating sheets and prepare pallets.

·Wrapping and packing machines: stretch wrap or band and palletize for storage and shipment.

Maintenance, safety and environmental controls

Well-designed lines include access platforms, lockout/tagout procedures, safety interlocks and firefighting provisions. Environmental controls — odour management, effluent handling and particulate limits — are integral to modern installations.

Conclusion

A gypsum board production line is an assembly of specialized units working in concert: material handling, stucco production or storage, slurry preparation, continuous forming, cutting, drying and packing, supported by robust control systems and environmental safeguards. Hengshui Decheng Machinery & Equipment Co.,Ltd offers tailored configurations that integrate these components to meet plant capacity, product specification and regulatory requirements.
