Is the Production Equipment of GRC Manufacturers Advanced? How Advanced Equipment Empowers High-Quality Development of the GRC Industry

Advanced equipment is the cornerstone of high-quality development in the GRC industry, and a testament to the hard-core strength Qinglong has built up over 28 years in the industry.

In the field of architectural decoration materials, GRC (glass fiber reinforced concrete), with its lightweight high-strength properties and rich styling possibilities, has become an ideal choice for high-end building facades and landscape components. Whether a GRC manufacturer's production equipment is advanced directly determines product quality, design realization capability, and the height the industry can reach. As an industry leader with 28 years of full-chain experience in UHPC/GRC/GRG/GRP materials, Qinglong has always empowered production with advanced equipment, setting a benchmark for high-quality industry development.

GRC Manufacturers' Production Equipment: The Core Engine from "Manufacturing" to "Intelligent Manufacturing"

The key to measuring a GRC manufacturer's strength lies first in the advancement of its production equipment. Traditional GRC production relies on manual batching and mold casting, which is not only inefficient but also makes it difficult to ensure product consistency. As a national high-tech enterprise, Qinglong has introduced automated batching systems, CNC molding equipment, and intelligent curing kilns, achieving precise control over the entire process from raw material mixing to component forming. For example, its German-imported fiber cutting and dispersion equipment can evenly disperse glass fibers throughout the concrete matrix, raising the flexural strength of GRC components to over 20MPa, far exceeding the industry average. This "intelligent manufacturing" capability enables Qinglong to maintain product precision errors of ≤1mm even at an annual capacity of 600,000 square meters, meeting the ultimate pursuit of detail required by landmark buildings.

How Does Advanced Equipment Empower High-Quality Development of the GRC Industry? An In-Depth Analysis from Three Dimensions

The empowerment of the GRC industry by advanced equipment is reflected in comprehensive upgrades across three dimensions: design, production, and application. On the design side, Qinglong's 3D scanning and reverse engineering equipment can transform architects' complex creative ideas, such as hyperbolic surfaces and openwork reliefs, into precise digital models; combined with parametric design software, this achieves a seamless "design-as-production" workflow. In the renovation project of Century Plaza on Nanjing East Road, its translucent concrete components turned artistic visions into reality through this very equipment, winning the Silver Award of the AALBORG WHITE Cup UHPC Construction Engineering Innovation Award.

On the production side, automated production lines have greatly enhanced the stability and environmental performance of GRC products. Qinglong's enclosed mixing system reduces dust emissions, while its intelligent curing kiln, through precise temperature and humidity control, shortens the time for components to reach early strength standards by 30%, facilitating rapid project delivery. This advantage is particularly evident in partnerships with real estate groups such as Poly and China Overseas, ensuring supply chain stability for large-scale projects.

On the application side, GRC components produced with advanced equipment have expanded the boundaries of the industry. Lightweight equipment reduces component weight to only 1/4 that of traditional stone, lowering building loads; production processes achieving a Class A1 fire rating have enabled GRC to be widely applied in public buildings such as airports and stadiums. More notably, the Technical Standard for Building Application of Glass Fiber Reinforced Cement (GRC) (JGJ/T423-2018), which Qinglong participated in drafting, incorporates the process innovations brought by advanced equipment into industry norms, driving the entire GRC industry toward standardization and high-quality development.

Qinglong: Defining New Heights in the GRC Industry with Hard-Core Equipment Strength

As a vice president unit of the China GRC Association, Qinglong's equipment investment has always been at the forefront of the industry. From the intelligent workshops at its production base in Nanning, Guangxi, to its nationwide network of offices, its full-chain service supported by advanced equipment—from detailed design to after-sales maintenance—has become an industry benchmark. Whether it is the GRC curtain wall of the Dongguan Women and Children's Activity Center or GRP landscape components exported to Southeast Asia, they all attest to how advanced equipment enhances brand value. In the future, Qinglong will continue its mission of "creating beautiful architecture," driving the GRC industry from "Made in China" to "Intelligent Manufacturing in China" through equipment upgrades and technological innovation, providing more professional solutions for designers and owners, and realizing the vision of "becoming a world-class leading manufacturer of UHPC/GRC/GRG/GRP."
