The notify part when purchasing terrazzo tile machine

1. Clarify requirements and equipment types

1. Production requirements
   • Determine the daily/monthly production target (such as 100㎡/day or 5000㎡/month) and select the equipment model that matches the production capacity.
   • Clarify product specifications (size, thickness, pattern complexity) and ensure that the equipment supports custom molds or processes.
2. Device Type
   • Fully automatic production line : suitable for large-scale production, with a high degree of automation, and requires supporting equipment such as raw material mixing, pressing, curing, and polishing.
   • Semi-automatic/manual equipment : suitable for small businesses or initial investment, with more manual involvement and lower costs.
   • Special process equipment : If you need to produce special-shaped bricks, permeable terrazzo, etc., confirm that the equipment is compatible with special processes (such as vacuum vibration and high-pressure forming)

2. Technical parameters of core equipment

1. Suppression system
   • Pressure range (recommended ≥200 tons), high pressure ensures the density of bricks.
   • Pressing method (hydraulic/mechanical), the hydraulic system has higher stability.
   • Mold compatibility ( quick mold change design , mold material hardness).
2. Molding accuracy
   • Dimensional error (within ±0.5mm is preferred).
   • Surface flatness (glossiness ≥ 90 degrees after polishing).
3. Energy consumption and efficiency
   • Equipment power (such as total power ≤ 50kW) to reduce long-term electricity costs.
   • Single molding cycle (for fully automatic lines, it is recommended that the cycle be ≤30 seconds/block).

3. Supplier Qualification Inspection

1. Enterprise Qualification
   • Verify business license, ISO certification, patent certificates (such as energy saving, intelligent control system patents).
   • An equipment quality inspection report is required (in compliance with GB/T 15762-2020 and other building materials machinery standards).
2. Cases and reputation
   • Visit at least 3 customers' production sites to observe the equipment operation stability and finished product quality.
   • Check industry forums and social media reviews, and be wary of “zero complaints” propaganda (which may involve fake orders).
3. R&D Capabilities
   • Confirm whether the company provides technology upgrade services (such as IoT remote monitoring functions).
   • Ask if there are customized solutions for environmental policies (such as solid waste utilization).

4. After-sales service guarantee

1. Warranty Terms
   • The warranty period for core components (hydraulic system, electric control cabinet) is ≥ 2 years, and the warranty period for wearing parts (molds, belts) is ≥ 6 months.
   • is responsible for labor and parts costs during the warranty period .
2. Technical Support
   • Request installation and commissioning video guidance + on-site technical support within 72 hours.
   • Confirm whether formulation guidance (aggregate ratio, resin curing time optimization) is provided.
3. Accessories Supply
   • Suppliers must commit to delivering common accessories (cylinder seals, sensors) within 24 hours.
   • Provide 3D drawings of the equipment for reference by third parties during repairs.

5. Cost and Investment Analysis

1. Equipment cost
   • Reference price for fully automatic line: 800,000-3,000,000 yuan (depending on the degree of automation); reference price for semi-automatic line: 200,000-500,000 yuan.
   • Compare quotes from multiple companies and be wary of "low price traps" (which may simplify the structure or use second-hand parts).
2. Hidden costs
   • Calculate the land cost of the equipment ( factory planning is required for areas over 200 m2 ).
   • Estimate scrap rate (≤3% for high-quality equipment).
3. Return on Investment (ROI)
   • Based on the current market price of terrazzo tiles (50-150 yuan/㎡), the payback period is calculated (usually 2-4 years).

VI. Safety and environmental protection requirements

1. Security certification
   • The equipment must pass CE certification (required for export) or GB 5226.1 electrical safety standard.
   • Safety designs such as emergency brake devices and protective covers must be complete.
2. Environmental Compliance
   • The dust collection system efficiency is ≥95% and the noise level is ≤75 dB.
   • The equipment must support the recycling of solid waste aggregates (such as marble waste).

 

VII. Key Terms of the Contract

 

1. Payment Methods
   • It is recommended to pay in installments (such as 30% deposit + 60% after acceptance + 10% quality assurance deposit).
   • Specify the penalty for delayed delivery (0.1%-0.3% of the contract amount per day).
2. Acceptance Criteria
   • The technical parameters written into the contract (such as pressure value, production capacity) must be accompanied by testing methods.
   • one month after trial production .
3. intellectual property
   • If customized molds/formulas are involved, the ownership of the design copyright must be agreed upon.

 

8. Other matters needing attention

• Suppliers are required to provide operation manuals (in Chinese and English) and fault code tables.
• Give priority to manufacturers that support equipment financial leasing to reduce financial pressure.
• Confirm local policies on subsidies for building materials production equipment (such as environmental protection technology improvement subsidies).

 

Recommended process : Demand analysis → Comparison of more than 3 suppliers → On-site inspection → Small-batch trial production → Contract signing
Tips to avoid pitfalls : Be cautious when purchasing equipment without nameplates. The factory number of the equipment is required and can be checked on the official website !
