In the rapidly evolving construction industry, efficiency, consistency, and quality are paramount. Zhengzhou Yishang Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. stands at the forefront of this transformation, providing state-of-the-art dry mix mortar equipment that empowers manufacturers to produce high-performance building materials with precision. This article explores the advanced features of a typical Yishang dry mortar production line and illustrates its capabilities through two detailed, professional-grade formulations for tile adhesives.

The Yishang Dry Mortar Production Line: Engineered for Perfection

A Yishang dry mortar plant is not merely a collection of machines; it is an integrated, automated system designed for maximum productivity and quality control. The production process can be broken down into several key stages, each managed by specialized equipment.

1. Raw Material Storage and Handling System:

• Silos: Large-capacity steel silos are used for bulk storage of primary materials like cement and fly ash, ensuring protection from moisture and contamination.

• Hopper and Conveyor: A receiving hopper with a grid and a bucket elevator or screw conveyor efficiently transports raw materials from ground level to the storage silos or the batching system.

2. Precise Batching and Weighing System:
This is the heart of the plant, where accuracy is critical. Yishang systems employ:

• Screw Feeders: For controlled dispensing of powders like cement and calcium carbonate.

• Valve Bag Feeders: For minor additives (like cellulose ether) that are added in small quantities but are crucial for product performance.

• Electronic Weighing Hoppers: High-precision load cells ensure each ingredient is weighed to the exact kilogram as per the formula, guaranteeing batch-to-batch consistency.

3. Efficient Mixing System:
The homogeneity of the dry mix is vital. Yishang utilizes high-efficiency mixers:

• Horizontal Ribbon Mixer: This is the most common type, featuring a horizontal trough with internal and external spiral ribbons. It ensures a gentle yet thorough mixing action, achieving a uniform blend without segregating particles of different densities. It is ideal for a wide range of mortars, including the tile adhesives described below.

4. Automated Packing and Palletizing System:

• Valve Bag Packing Machine: The finished product is automatically packed into paper valve bags (e.g., 25kg or 50kg bags) with high speed and accuracy.

• Automatic Palletizer: Packed bags are then neatly arranged onto pallets, ready for strapping and shipment, minimizing manual labor and handling.

5. Intelligent Control System:
The entire process is managed by a centralized PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) with a user-friendly touch-screen interface. Operators can:

• Store hundreds of different product formulas.

• Initiate production with a single command.

• Monitor the entire process in real-time.

• Generate production reports for quality traceability.

From Machine to Mixture: Exemplary Formulations Produced on Yishang Equipment

The true test of a dry mortar plant is the quality of the final product. Below are two standard formulations for tile adhesives, precisely the type of products that can be manufactured with exceptional consistency on a Zhengzhou Yishang production line.

Formula 1: Universal Tile Adhesive

This formula is designed for a strong, reliable bond for most common ceramic and porcelain tiles.

• Portland Cement 425: 400 kg

• Function: The primary hydraulic binder, providing the fundamental structural strength and adhesion.

• Coarse Yellow Sand (40-70 mesh): 300 kg

• Fine Yellow Sand (70-140 mesh): 220 kg

• Function: The combination of coarse and fine sands creates an optimal particle size distribution. This maximizes packing density, improves workability, and enhances the final mechanical strength of the adhesive.

• Heavy Calcium Carbonate (325 mesh): 69 kg

• Function: Acts as a filler to modify the consistency and improve the overall powder yield. It helps in reducing material costs while maintaining performance.

• Cellulose Ether (GM1212): 3 kg

• Function: A crucial additive. It provides excellent water retention, ensuring proper cement hydration, prolongs open time (the period during which tiles can be adjusted), and significantly improves the sag resistance on vertical surfaces.

• Starch Ether (2028): 8 kg

• Function: Works synergistically with cellulose ether to enhance anti-sag properties and improve the lubricity and workability (smooth application) of the fresh mortar.

Formula 2: Wall Tile Adhesive

This formulation is optimized for lighter wall tiles, offering excellent workability and non-slip properties.

• Portland Cement: 400 kg

• Function: The core binding agent.

• Coarse Yellow Sand (40-70 mesh): 300 kg

• Fine Yellow Sand (70-140 mesh): 240 kg

• Function: A slightly adjusted sand ratio compared to Formula 1, often favoring a finer overall gradation for a smoother application on vertical surfaces.

• Heavy Calcium Carbonate (325 mesh): 62 kg

• Function: Filler and extender.

• Cellulose Ether (GM1212): 3 kg

• Function: Essential for water retention and base-level sag resistance.

• Starch Ether (2028): 15 kg

• Function: The significantly higher dosage of starch ether in this formula is key. It provides superior non-slip ("anti-slip") performance, crucial for preventing heavier wall tiles from sliding down before the adhesive sets, while also giving a thick, buttery consistency that is easy for trowel application.
