The Processing Steps of Engineered Quartz Countertops
If you're in the market for a new kitchen countertop, you've probably heard of quartz. Today, this material is the most preferred for modern counters because it offers durability, flexibility, and a wide range of colors and designs. Continue reading to learn about the benefits and drawbacks of this very versatile surface.
This is also its advantage. The quartz stone slabs are the world's most advanced production process super hard environmental protection composite materials. Its performance is excellent and has the characteristics of scratch not spend, anti-pollution, fire strong, high-temperature resistance, impact resistance, food grade, color-rich, the color permanent, and so on.
Quartz stone has stability. It is difficult to affect its nature because of environmental changes because the quartz hardness is very high, so quartz stone is difficult to scratch It plays an important role in home decoration nowadays.
Production process: CAD drawing and record size → confirm with the customer table surface color, edge type → according to the drawing, drawing line → cut material → with multi-functional lucite machine or another special water mill to repair the edge type → blow dry and clean glue at → adjust glue, coating adhesive surface → with special clamps.
And How is a quartz countertop processed in a factory from blocks to final products?
Quartz stone, as we usually call it, is a new type of stone artificially synthesized from more than 90% quartz crystals plus resins and other trace elements. It is a large-size plate pressed by special machines under certain physical and chemical conditions, and its main material is quartz.
Quartz stone countertop process description.
12 steps to get an engineered quartz
1, raw material collection: the purchase of glass, quartz, resin, and other raw and auxiliary materials.
Resin, quartz sand
2, material selection: the use of fans, iron removal equipment, manual selection to remove impurities, iron filings, etc. from the granular raw materials.
3、Batching: After the material selection, the material will be transported into the mixing system. The materials are fully mixed in the gravity-free mixer to eliminate the problem of material color difference and uneven particles. After the mixing is finished, it will be transported to the corresponding batching bin, and the batching system will automatically batch the materials during production.
4、Mixing: The unsaturated polyester resin, pigment, additives, and granular powder will be fully mixed.
5、Processing: The mixed material will be mixed through the conveyor belt and enter into the fabric car, and then the fabric car will evenly cloth the material into the fabric mold frame.
6、Vacuum high-frequency vibration pressing plate: After the fabric is finished, it will be transferred to the press equipment and vibrated and pressed under the vacuum condition of -0.1MPa.
7、Heating and curing: After pressing, the blank will be heated and shaped in the curing oven at 85-110℃.
8、Setting thickness polishing: After curing, the blank is cooled down for 24 hours and entered into the setting thickness equipment for setting thickness.
9、Polishing: After the thickness is fixed, it will be polished by a 20-head polishing machine with water grinding. According to different needs, polishing until the gloss degree reaches 40-70°.
10、Inspection: The appearance quality of the plate is inspected.
11、Cutting： Use longitudinal and transverse cutting, bridge cutting machine equipment to cut the product to the required size.
12、Packaging into storage: The cut products are air-dried and packaged well and kept in the warehouse.
