How to produce green terrazzo hexagonal tiles

Green terrazzo hexagon tiles show unique charm in the field of architectural decoration. Its hexagonal shape is unique and full of personality, which can add geometric beauty to the space. Compared with traditional square bricks, hexagon tiles can create more diverse patterns and textures when spliced, making the decorative effect more abundant.

Production process of green terrazzo hexagonal tiles:
1. Mold making
The mold making mode of hexagon tiles is mainly based on the specific size of hexagon tiles actually needed.
2. Mixing and stirring
Materials such as cement, aggregates, mineral admixtures, chemical admixtures and pigments are accurately measured in a certain proportion.
The volume ratio of cement to stone particles should be 1:1.5 to 1:2.5. At the same time, add an appropriate amount of light and alkali resistant mineral pigments, and the incorporation amount is 3% to 6% of the weight of cement. Then, these materials are put into a special mixer for full stirring.
3. Molding process
The molding method of green terrazzo hexagon tiles is to put the mixed materials into the mold, and then apply a certain pressure through the terrazzo tile machine to make the materials form in the mold.
This method has high production efficiency and stable product quality, and is suitable for large-scale production.
4. Curing treatment
During the curing process, factors such as temperature, humidity and time should be well controlled. After a period of curing, let the cement fully hydrate and enhance the strength of the brick body.
5. Grinding and polishing
Grind and polish the cured hexagon tiles to make their surface as smooth as a mirror, showing the unique texture and luster of terrazzo.

Production cost of green terrazzo hexagon tiles
The production cost of green terrazzo hexagon tiles is affected by many factors. 
Cost of raw materials:
Cement: Ordinary cement is about $42 - $70 per ton. The amount of cement required for making green terrazzo hexagon tiles depends on the size and thickness of the bricks. The cost of cement in each brick may be about $0.14 - $0.42.
Aggregates: High-quality aggregates cost about $70 - $140 per cubic meter. The aggregate cost of each brick is about $0.28 - $0.7.
Green pigment: The price of better quality green pigment is $4.2 - $14 per kilogram. The pigment cost of each brick may be about $0.07 - $0.28.
Mold cost: A set of customized high-precision molds may range from hundreds to thousands of dollars. The mold cost is apportioned to each brick, which is about $0.14 - $0.7.
Energy cost: According to the power and usage time of production equipment and local energy prices, the energy cost of each brick may be about $0.07 - $0.28.
Labor cost: The labor cost of each brick for large-scale automated production may be about $0.14 - $0.42; the labor cost of each brick for small-scale manual production may be $0.7 - $1.4 or even higher.
Equipment depreciation and maintenance cost: Apportion these costs to each brick, which is about $0.14 - $0.42.
In short, the production cost of each green terrazzo hexagonal brick is about $0.7 - $3.5.
Of course, if higher-end materials, more complex processes or more advanced equipment are used, the cost will further increase.
