In the modern construction and industrial material manufacturing industry, rockwool sandwich panels have emerged as a pivotal material due to their excellent thermal insulation, fire resistance, sound absorption and structural stability. Behind the mass production of these high-performance panels lies a key piece of equipment: the rockwool sandwich panel machine. This advanced machinery integrates multiple technologies, including mechanical engineering, electrical control, hydraulic transmission and material science, to realize the automated and continuous production of rockwool sandwich panels. As the demand for energy-saving and environmentally friendly building materials continues to rise, the rockwool sandwich panel machine has gradually become an indispensable core equipment in the manufacturing chain, driving the transformation and upgrading of the industry towards high efficiency, precision and sustainability.

Working Principle of Rockwool Sandwich Panel Machine

The core working principle of the rockwool sandwich panel machine is to complete the integrated forming of the panel through a series of continuous and coordinated processes, from the uncoiling of the surface material to the compounding of the rockwool core and the final cutting and stacking. The entire production process can be divided into several key stages, each of which is closely linked and controlled by a unified system to ensure the stability and consistency of product quality.

First, the uncoiling and leveling stage. The surface materials of rockwool sandwich panels are usually pre-painted steel sheets or aluminum sheets, which are stored in the form of coils. The machine's uncoiling system uses hydraulic or electric drive to stably release the coiled material, and the leveling device corrects the deformation of the sheet caused by coiling, ensuring that the surface material is flat and smooth, laying the foundation for subsequent forming. During this stage, the tension of the uncoiling process is precisely controlled to avoid wrinkles or stretching of the sheet, which would affect the final product's appearance and structural strength.

Next is the forming stage of the surface material. The flattened surface material is fed into the roll forming system, which consists of a series of precision rollers with specific profiles. Under the action of the rollers, the surface material is gradually bent and formed into the required shape, such as corrugated or flat with edge locks. The roll forming process adopts progressive forming technology, which reduces the stress of the material during the forming process and ensures that the formed sheet has good dimensional accuracy and shape stability. The forming speed and pressure of the rollers can be adjusted according to the thickness and type of the surface material to adapt to different production requirements.

The third stage is the compounding of the rockwool core material. The rockwool core, which has been pre-processed into a specific thickness and width, is transported to the compounding zone through a dedicated conveying device. At the same time, the adhesive spraying system sprays a uniform layer of adhesive on the inner surface of the formed upper and lower surface materials. The adhesive is usually a polyurethane-based or epoxy-based adhesive with strong bonding strength and good aging resistance. After the rockwool core is placed between the upper and lower surface materials, the composite system applies uniform pressure to make the three layers closely bonded. Some advanced machines are also equipped with pre-heating and curing devices, which accelerate the curing speed of the adhesive through infrared heating or hot air circulation, ensuring that the composite panel has sufficient bonding strength in a short time.

The final stage is cutting and stacking. The continuously formed composite panel is transported to the cutting system, which adopts a non-stop cutting technology driven by servo motors. This technology allows the machine to cut the panel into the required length while maintaining continuous operation, greatly improving production efficiency. The cutting accuracy is controlled within a small range, ensuring that the length of each panel is consistent. After cutting, the finished panels are automatically transported to the stacking system, which arranges the panels neatly and stacks them to a specified height, facilitating subsequent packaging and transportation.

Structural Composition of Rockwool Sandwich Panel Machine

A complete rockwool sandwich panel machine is a complex system composed of multiple functional modules, each of which undertakes specific tasks and cooperates with each other to ensure the smooth progress of the entire production process.

It is composed of a frame, forming rollers, transmission mechanism and adjustment device. The frame is made of high-strength steel, which provides a stable support for the entire forming system. The forming rollers are made of high-quality alloy steel,to quenching and tempering treatment to improve their hardness and wear resistance. The surface of the rollers is precisely machined to ensure the profile accuracy. The transmission mechanism adopts a gearbox or chain drive to realize the synchronous rotation of multiple rollers. The adjustment device allows the operator to adjust the distance between the rollers according to the thickness of the material, ensuring the forming quality.

The core material conveying and compounding system includes a rockwool conveying device, a composite press and a curing device. The rockwool conveying device is usually a belt conveyor or a roller conveyor, which can adjust the conveying speed according to the production line speed to ensure the accurate matching of the core material and the surface material. The composite press adopts a double-belt pressing structure, which applies uniform pressure to the upper and lower surfaces of the composite panel through two endless belts. The pressure can be adjusted according to the type of adhesive and the thickness of the panel. The curing device is mainly used to accelerate the curing of the adhesive. Common curing methods include infrared heating, hot air heating and microwave heating. These methods can effectively improve the bonding strength and production efficiency of the panel.

The adhesive spraying system is composed of an adhesive storage tank, a metering pump, a spray gun and a pipeline. The adhesive storage tank is equipped with a heating and stirring device to keep the adhesive in a uniform state and prevent solidification. The metering pump accurately controls the amount of adhesive sprayed, ensuring that the adhesive layer is uniform and the bonding strength is stable. The spray gun is installed on a movable bracket, which can adjust the spraying width and angle according to the width of the panel. The pipeline is made of corrosion-resistant materials to prevent the adhesive from clogging the pipeline.

The cutting system is composed of a cutting tool, a servo drive mechanism and a length measuring device. The cutting tool is usually a circular saw blade or a hydraulic shear, which has high hardness and wear resistance. The servo drive mechanism ensures the high-speed and precise movement of the cutting tool, realizing non-stop cutting. The length measuring device uses an encoder to measure the length of the continuously moving composite panel in real time, and transmits the signal to the control system. When the panel reaches the set length, the control system issues a command to the cutting mechanism to complete the cutting action.

The stacking system includes a conveying roller table, a lifting platform and a positioning device. The finished panels are transported to the stacking area by the conveying roller table. The lifting platform can adjust the height according to the stacking height, ensuring that the panels are stacked neatly. The positioning device uses photoelectric sensors to align the edges of the panels, preventing deviation during stacking. Some advanced stacking systems are also equipped with automatic packaging devices, which can wrap the stacked panels with plastic film to protect them from moisture and damage during transportation.

The electrical control system is the "brain" of the rockwool sandwich panel machine, which is composed of a PLC controller, a touch screen, sensors and actuators. The PLC controller is responsible for processing the signals from various sensors and issuing control commands to the actuators. The touch screen provides a user-friendly man-machine interface, allowing the operator to set production parameters, monitor the operation status of the production line and troubleshoot faults. The sensors are installed in various parts of the machine to detect parameters such as the speed of the production line, the position of the material, the temperature of the curing device and the pressure of the composite press. The actuators include motors, hydraulic cylinders and solenoid valves, which execute the control commands issued by the PLC controller to realize the automatic operation of the machine.
