Automatic tower dry mortar production line
As global energy efficiency standards become increasingly stringent, the demand for high-quality thermal insulation mortars continues to grow across residential, commercial, and industrial construction sectors. Thermal insulation mortar — also known as insulating plaster or energy-saving mortar — is essential for reducing building heat loss, improving energy efficiency, and meeting green building certification requirements.
Zhengzhou Yishang Machinery introduces its advanced High Quality Thermal Insulation Mortar Production Line — a complete dry mix powder mixing plant machine specifically engineered for manufacturing premium thermal insulation mortars, including expanded polystyrene (EPS) lightweight mortar, perlite insulation mortar, and vermiculite-based insulating plasters. This fully automated production line integrates intelligent batching, high-efficiency mixing, automatic packaging, and dust collection into a seamless manufacturing solution.
With capacities ranging from 5 to 50 tons per hour, our Thermal Insulation Mortar Production Line enables manufacturers to produce consistent, high-quality energy-saving materials that meet international standards such as EN 998-1, ASTM C578, and GB/T 20473. The equipment is specifically designed for handling lightweight aggregates (EPS beads, perlite, vermiculite) without crushing or damaging them — a critical requirement for thermal insulation mortar production.

Thermal insulation mortar is a lightweight, cementitious or gypsum-based material containing lightweight aggregates that provide low thermal conductivity. It is applied to building exteriors or interiors to reduce heat transfer, improve energy efficiency, and enhance comfort.
Key characteristics of thermal insulation mortar:
Low thermal conductivity (λ ≤ 0.1 W/m·K)
Lightweight density (300-800 kg/m³)
Good compressive strength (≥0.5 MPa)
Excellent adhesion to various substrates
Fire resistance (Class A/A2 for most formulations)
Breathable and moisture-resistant
Typical applications:
External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS)
Internal wall insulation
Cavity wall filling
Roof insulation
Passive house construction
Energy-efficient building retrofits

Thermal insulation mortars require specialized handling due to lightweight aggregates that are easily crushed. Our Thermal Insulation Mortar Production Line is specifically configured to address these challenges:
