Recently, a significant meeting crucial to the development direction of the concrete products equipment industry—the expert review meeting for the "Stone-like Concrete Brick (Slab) Forming Machine" and "Block Forming Machine Mold" industry standards—concluded successfully at Fujian Quangong Machinery Co.,Ltd. As a leading domestic company in the concrete products equipment sector, Quangong, leveraging its extensive technical expertise and industry influence, hosted the meeting, injecting strong momentum into the improvement of the industry standards system.
The meeting brought together leading industry experts, including leaders from the National Building Materials Industry Machinery Standardization Technical Committee, concrete materials and mechanical engineering experts from renowned domestic research institutes, technical leaders from authoritative testing agencies, and representatives from upstream and downstream companies. The attendees engaged in in-depth discussions on the scientific nature, practicality, and forward-looking nature of the two industry standards, jointly establishing standards for the industry's high-quality development.
At the beginning of the meeting, Quangong Chairman Fu Binghuang delivered a speech. He pointed out that with the rapid development of green buildings and new building materials, imitation stone concrete bricks (slabs) offer advantages such as environmental friendliness, aesthetics, and durability. However, issues such as uneven equipment performance and a lack of standardized mold precision within the industry not only impact product quality stability but also hinder the pace of industry upgrading. "QGM has been deeply involved in the industry for over 40 years and has participated in the development of numerous national and industry standards. Hosting these two key standards review meetings is both a recognition from the industry and a responsibility we shoulder."
Peng Mingde, Vice Chairman of the National Building Materials Machinery Standardization Committee, then delivered a speech. He pointed out that the molds used in the two standards, focusing on imitation stone concrete brick (slab) forming machines and block forming machines, are core equipment and key components in concrete product production. The standards will clarify key parameters such as equipment energy consumption, forming accuracy, and safety performance, and standardize technical details such as mold material selection and service life requirements, filling gaps in the industry. This will not only help companies reduce production losses and improve product quality, but also provide regulatory authorities with a basis for enforcement, driving the industry's transition from "unregulated growth" to "standardized quality improvement."
During the industry standard review meeting, the drafting team first provided a comprehensive overview of the project's progress. This report focused on industry realities, introducing the current technical status and market applications of equipment such as stone-like concrete brick (slab) forming machines and block forming molds. It also elaborated on the development logic behind the standard's core technical provisions, including how key indicators were determined based on practical production needs and reference to industry technical bottlenecks. The report also detailed the results of the public comment period (such as the types of feedback collected and the solutions provided), as well as the specific process for ensuring the technical feasibility of the standard through testing and verification.
Subsequently, the experts at the meeting conducted a thorough review of the submission materials for the two industry standards, "Stone-like Concrete Brick (Slab) Forming Machine" and "Molds for Block Forming Machine," in accordance with the standards review specifications. The review covered the draft text, compilation instructions (including the background and technical route for the standards' development), and a summary of responses to comments. Expert opinions focused on three key areas: first, the rationality of the technical content, assessing whether the standards' indicators align with industry production needs and can guide technological upgrades; second, inter-standard coordination, examining the internal clauses of the two standards and their connectivity with existing national and industry standards to avoid technical conflicts; and third, the standardization of the text, verifying the consistency of terminology and clause wording against industry standard compilation requirements.
The successful conclusion of this expert review meeting marks the beginning of the implementation of the "Stone-like Concrete Brick (Slab) Forming Machine" and "Molds for Block Forming Machine" industry standards. Quangong Machinery Co.,Ltd. will leverage this meeting as an opportunity to continue its industry-leading role, promote the application of standardization results, and support the concrete products equipment industry on its journey toward green, intelligent, and standardized development.
