Start with the target alpha gypsum application

Alpha gypsum is often used for high-strength plaster, molds, ceramic molds, precision casting, and specialty gypsum products. The target application affects raw material selection, calcination control, fineness, strength, and setting performance.

Control phase conversion and powder stability

Alpha gypsum production requires careful control of temperature, pressure, moisture, residence time, grinding, cooling, and storage. Stable phase composition is more important than simply increasing output.

Information needed for evaluation

Useful project inputs include raw gypsum test data, target annual capacity, desired strength and setting time, fuel conditions, packing method, and downstream application requirements.
