The global precast concrete wall panel machine industry ushered in technological upgrades and market expansion
——Intelligent equipment（concrete wall panel machine） accelerates the process of building industrialization
一. Technological innovation: efficient production and environmentally friendly processes become the core trend
1.Popularization of fully automated production lines
The double-strip concrete wall panel extruder machine mentioned in the new generation of equipment adopts a continuous operation mode, with a single-shift production capacity of 450-550 square meters, which is more than 300% more efficient than the traditional process. At the same time, the semi-automatic model can achieve large-scale production of 500,000-1 million square meters per year through the design of the mold car, which only requires 1-2 people to operate, greatly reducing labor costs.
2.Material innovation promotes green production
The precast boundary wall making machine generally supports the utilization of industrial solid waste (fly ash, slag, etc. with a content of more than 60%), and is compatible with lightweight materials such as EPS foam concrete and fiber cement board, reducing the weight of the building while meeting LEED certification requirements.
3.Modular and intelligent upgrades
Some manufacturers have launched high-precision equipment with integrated PLC control systems, which supports remote monitoring and parameter adjustment, and realizes “one-click” production; the cutting process uses diamond blade technology, and the error is controlled within ±1mm.
二.Market demand: Global infrastructure and prefabricated buildings drive growth
1.Regional market performance is differentiated
China market: According to Zhilun Information data, the industry scale will increase by 18% year-on-year in 2024, and the cost advantage (30-50% lower than European and American equipment) will help to promote a surge in exports, especially in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, where orders account for more than 40%.
European and American markets: Stimulated by modular housing policies (such as the U.S. Infrastructure Act), the demand for lightweight sandwich panel equipment has increased by 25% year-on-year.
2.Application scenario expansion
precast boundary wall making machine Equipment output wall panels have expanded from traditional buildings to:
Quickly built post-disaster emergency housing (single-story buildings completed in 72 hours)
Acoustically optimized data center partition walls (density up to 1,800kg/m³)
Integrated exterior walls with integrated insulation and decoration (PVDF coating technology)
三.Corporate dynamics: Top manufacturers accelerate global layout
1.Technical cooperation cases
KELAI, a top supplier of Alibaba International Station, launched a “10% compensation for delayed delivery” service, combining the credit guarantee system to seize cross-border orders.
Henan KELAI Machinery 11 and German companies jointly developed a high-density molding system with a vibration frequency of 60Hz, which is suitable for the production of nuclear power shielding wall panels.
2.Capacity expansion strategy
Customized service: Support customers to adjust parameters such as wall panel aperture (58-110mm), thickness (50-250mm) as needed.
Turnkey solution: The proportion of complete sets of equipment including mixing stations, cutting machines, and curing kilns increased to 35%
四.Future Outlook: Three Major Development Directions
Sustainable Manufacturing: In 2025, the EU will enforce a carbon footprint labeling system to drive equipment energy consumption down to below 7.5kW·h/㎡.
Digital Twin Technology: The BIM-based virtual commissioning system can shorten the equipment commissioning cycle by 30%.
Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) Application: The development of a new wall panel machine with a compressive strength of 150MPa has entered the testing phase.
