How to Improve the Production Efficiency of Hyperbolic GRC Panels?

In the field of architectural decoration, double-curved GRC panels have become the preferred decorative material for many high-end projects such as landmark buildings and commercial complexes, thanks to their unique curved shapes and excellent material properties. However, the production process of double-curved GRC panels involves complex mold making, material proportioning, and forming techniques, and how to improve their production efficiency has always been a focus of industry attention. Qinglong Group, with 28 years of full-chain experience in UHPC/GRC/GRG/GRP materials covering detailed design, manufacturing, construction and installation, and after-sales maintenance, here shares the key paths to improving the production efficiency of double-curved GRC panels based on its own practice.

Improving the production efficiency of double-curved GRC panels first depends on digital innovation in the design stage. Traditional design of double-curved GRC panels relies on manual lofting and empirical judgment, which not only makes precision difficult to guarantee but also prolongs early preparation time. Qinglong Group has introduced parametric design technologies (such as Rhino and Grasshopper) and BIM technology to transform designers' ideas into precise digital models, achieving the integration of mold design, material consumption calculation, and production process simulation. Through 3D scanning and digital twin technology, unreasonable aspects in the design can be identified in advance, reducing later rework, shortening the design cycle, and laying the foundation for efficient production.

As the core tool in the production of double-curved GRC panels, the quality and turnover efficiency of molds directly affect production progress. Traditional molds are mostly made of wood or GRP, and suffer from problems such as easy deformation, short service life, and low turnover rates. In view of the curved surface characteristics of double-curved GRC panels, Qinglong Group has developed reusable steel molds and aluminum alloy combined molds, which not only improve the stiffness and precision of molds but also increase the mold turnover count from the traditional 5-10 times to more than 50 times. Meanwhile, through modular mold design, mold combinations can be quickly adjusted according to different double-curved shapes, reducing mold making time and further improving production efficiency.

Optimizing material proportioning and forming processes is another important aspect of improving the production efficiency of double-curved GRC panels. Double-curved GRC panels place high demands on material flowability, strength, and toughness, and traditional manual mixing and pouring methods can hardly ensure material mixing uniformity and forming quality. Qinglong Group uses automated mixing systems and precise metering equipment to achieve digital control of material proportioning, ensuring the stability of material performance in every batch. In terms of forming processes, vacuum infusion and high-pressure spraying technologies have been introduced to speed up material filling and curing, shortening the forming cycle of double-curved GRC panels by more than 30% while improving product compactness and mechanical properties.

Intelligent management of the production process is also key to improving the production efficiency of double-curved GRC panels. Qinglong Group has established a whole-process information management system covering order intake, detailed design, material procurement, manufacturing, quality inspection, and logistics distribution, realizing real-time data sharing and monitoring across all stages. By introducing MES (Manufacturing Execution System), production equipment can be intelligently scheduled to avoid process bottlenecks and improve equipment utilization. In addition, RFID chips are used for quality traceability of double-curved GRC panels, ensuring that every product can be traced to its specific production batch, mold information, and operators, which not only guarantees product quality but also provides data support for optimizing production efficiency.
