Building Gypsum Production Line and Factory Setup

A building gypsum production line is a complete industrial system designed to transform gypsum rock into finished building gypsum (plaster) under controlled process conditions. The line produces plaster powder ready for packaging and distribution.

From an industrial perspective, gypsum manufacturing is important because it combines crushing, screening, calcination (150–200 °C) to remove crystallization water, grinding and packaging. The process relies on a defined sequence of unit operations that must be correctly engineered, sized and integrated.

Primary raw materials typically include gypsum rock, optional additives and packaging materials. The core machinery set consists of cubit crushers, screens, calcination kilns (low-burn or high-burn), bag filters, mills and packaging machines.

The Industrial Department supports investors who want to establish a new gypsum plant as well as existing plant owners who need repair, overhaul, capacity expansion or automation of their current lines. Projects can start from an empty site or from an operating facility that requires technical upgrading.

Whether the goal is a green-field turnkey plant in Iraq, Kurdistan Region, Afghanistan or other regional markets, or the modernization of an existing line in Iran, engineering, machinery supply or manufacturing, installation, commissioning and ongoing technical support can be provided under defined contractual scopes.

Production Line Overview

The building gypsum production line is engineered as an integrated process system covering crushing, screening, storage, calcination, dust collection, grinding and packaging. Design capacity is determined during the engineering phase and can typically range from pilot or semi-industrial scales up to higher industrial throughputs, depending on final product mix and market requirements.

Product types include building gypsum (plaster) of various fineness grades. The overall process flow follows a defined sequence: mining/extraction, crushing, screening, silo storage, calcination, bag-filter dust collection, grinding, screening and packaging.

Main machinery groups include cubit crushers, screens, calcination kilns, bag filters, mills and packaging systems. Supporting infrastructure covers electrical power (50–100 kW range), gas (100–300 m³/h) and dust collection.

Manpower requirements depend on the degree of automation (typically 5–12 persons per shift). Quality control covers residual moisture, setting time, fineness and purity. Finished gypsum is stored in silos or bags before dispatch.

Products

An industrial building gypsum production line can manufacture plaster of different fineness and setting characteristics depending on calcination and grinding parameters. Packaging formats are selected according to target markets.

Raw Materials for Building Gypsum Factory

The main raw material is gypsum rock. Optional additives may be used to adjust setting time or other properties. Quality of incoming rock (purity, moisture) directly influences final product performance.

Manufacturing Process

Extraction and Crushing – Gypsum rock is extracted and crushed in a cubit crusher.
Screening and Storage – Crushed material is screened and stored in silos.
Calcination – Material is calcined at 150–200 °C in a low-burn or high-burn kiln to remove crystallization water.
Dust Collection – Exhaust gases pass through bag filters.
Grinding and Packaging – Calcined gypsum is ground to the required fineness and packaged.
