Project Background
In early 2024, Henan Taiguo Boiler Manufacturing Co., Ltd. successfully delivered a set of advanced industrial autoclaves for a large-scale fiber cement board production line in South Asia.
The customer, a well-established building materials manufacturer, sought to upgrade their curing process to support increasing market demand for fire-resistant, moisture-proof, and high-density fiber cement boards.
To meet the project’s expansion plan, the factory required a robust autoclave system capable of delivering stable pressure curing, high energy efficiency, and 24/7 continuous operation.
Customer Requirements
The customer set several key performance requirements:
Key Technical Needs
- Large-diameter autoclave suitable for wide fiber cement boards
- Stable operating pressure between 1.2 MPa – 1.6 MPa
- Precise temperature and pressure control for uniform curing
- Smooth loading/unloading for heavy board racks
- Strong pressure vessel safety certification
- Integration with the existing steam boiler and automation system
After evaluating multiple suppliers in China, the customer selected TAIGUO due to proven project experience, reliable manufacturing quality, and comprehensive global service support.
