Fiber Cement Board Industry | HEAD Waterjet High-Precision Cutting Solutions

1. Company & Equipment Overview

Client: A leading Chinese building materials manufacturer (CNBM Chizhou)
 Equipment Used: HEAD Horizontal High-Pressure Waterjet Cutting Machine + Dual-Side Synchronous Longitudinal Trimming Machine

2. Client Background

CNBM Chizhou is a top domestic producer of fiber cement boards and calcium silicate boards, widely used in exterior wall cladding, interior partitions, and ceilings. Their products are also exported to multiple international markets.
 Renowned for high-density, high-strength board production, the company has long supplied premium materials for high-end architectural projects.

This project involved new product development, advanced technology implementation, and state-of-the-art equipment integration for high-end calcium silicate boards. The goal: build China’s largest and most intelligent calcium silicate board production base, setting a new benchmark for green building materials.

3. Client Requirements

During the production line design and construction phase, the client set the following key demands:

• Cutting Accuracy: Horizontal cutting error ≤ ±1mm to meet international high-end market standards.

• Production Speed: Longitudinal trimming speed synchronized with forming line (5–10m/min) to maintain production efficiency.

• Water Conservation & Sustainability: Cutting system equipped with a high-efficiency water recycling unit, with a recovery rate ≥ 90%.

• Project Efficiency & On-Time Delivery: Multi-party collaboration to ensure timely commissioning and long-term stable operation.

Project Coordination & Execution

Since project kickoff, HEAD maintained close cooperation with Wuhan Building Materials Research Institute and CNBM Chizhou. Through effective cross-department coordination, we ensured compliance and smooth construction.
HEAD optimized design plans, refined process layouts, and ensured cutting-edge technology with stable performance. Guided by our mission “Make Cutting No Longer a Problem”, we customized the production line, scheduled precise equipment delivery and installation, and improved construction efficiency to guarantee on-time project completion.

Core Technical Solutions

• High-Precision Horizontal Waterjet Cutting System: Equipped with precision linear guides and servo control, maintaining cutting accuracy within ±1mm.

• Dual-Side Synchronous Longitudinal Trimming Machine: Double-sided trimming in perfect sync with the production line (5–10m/min), ensuring dimensional precision.

• Eco-Friendly Water Recycling System: Wastewater treated via sedimentation and filtration for reuse, achieving ≥ 90% water recovery rate.

• Continuous Operation Design: Engineered for long-term, high-intensity operation with reduced downtime and maintenance.

5. Results & Client Benefits

• Accuracy & Quality: Stable ±1mm cutting precision, meeting international export standards.

• Productivity Boost: Synchronized cutting with forming line, increasing overall production capacity by ~18%.

• Water Savings: Over 90% water reuse rate, saving thousands of tons of industrial water annually.

• On-Time Delivery: Equipment installation and commissioning completed as scheduled, enabling smooth trial production.

Currently, CNBM Chizhou is fine-tuning post-trial production processes, preparing for full-scale commercial operation. This project has already become a national benchmark for digitalized and intelligent calcium silicate board production.
