1.Project Overview
The target of this project is to build a fiber cement board production plant,to produce fiber
cement board for construction, decoration, medical, power plants, chemical companies, large
shopping malls, hotels, closed clothing markets, theaters and other public places,and sell the
boards to the whole Afghanistan and other places.The annual production of fiber cement board
production line is 3 million square meters.It will take 5 years to complete the plant construction,
equipment production, installation, and testing of the machine.After the production line is in
normal operation, all investment will be recovered within 2 years.
2.Project Introduction
2.1 Introduction
Fiber cement board is widely used as general industrial, agricultural, Farming, national defense,
commercial, residential and other building materials due to its low cost, high flatness, wide use,
superior performance and price over other building materials.
The machine has mature production technology, high degree of automation, easy operation, low
labor intensity, high production efficiency. The whole machine adopts PLC automatic control
system and pneumatic theory, and can produce asbestos tiles, calcium silicate panel,FC pannel
and other decorating plank.
Thus, the market prospect of the fiber cement board manufacturing machine is very broad.
2.2 Main Equipment
Fiber cement board equipment, also known as cement pressure board equipment, is mainly
made of natural fiber (serpentine asbestos), cement (silicate cement), silicon powder and other
additional materials.It adopts a special production process, and is processed into a building board
by various processes such as pulping, copying (or slurrying), molding, cutting, pressing, and
curing. At the same time, it is one of the key new wall building materials approved by the
National Development and Reform Commission.

2.4 Product Specifications
General specifications: Length: 2000mm-2440mm Width: 1000mm-1220mm
Common thickness: 4-12mm
The international standard is 1220×2440mm, which can be cut freely if other smaller sizes are
required.
According to the density, it can be divided into three categories: high, medium and low. The edge
of the low-density board is rough after cutting, and the edge of the high-density board is
relatively neat.
Fiber cement boards with different physical properties such as specifications and density have
different heat insulation and sound insulation properties. Generally speaking, the higher the
density and the thicker the plate, the better the heat insulation performance.
2.5 Product Features
(1) Fireproof insulation: non-combustible Class A, the plate will not burn when the fire occurs, it
will not produce toxic fumes; the conductivity is low, it is an ideal insulation material.
(2) Waterproof and moisture-proof: In the semi-open and high humidity environment, it can
maintain stable performance without sag or deformation.
(3) Thermal and acoustic insulation: low thermal conductivity, good thermal insulation properties,
high product density and good sound insulation.
(4) Light weight and high strength: The sheet pressed by the 5000-ton flat hydraulic press not
only has high strength, but also is not easy to be deformed and warped; the weight is small and
suitable for roofing and other aspects.
(5) Simple construction: dry operation mode, simple installation and quick construction of keel
and plate. Deep-processed products are also characterized by simple construction and superior
performance.
(6) Economical and beautiful: light weight, with the keel, effectively reduce the cost of
engineering and decoration; the appearance of the color is uniform, the surface is flat, direct use
can make the building surface color uniform.
(7) Safe and harmless: lower than the national “ radiation health protection standards for
building materials”, the measured indicators are equal to the value of the lawn 20 meters away
from the surrounding buildings.
(8) Long life: acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, no damage from moisture or insects,
and strength and hardness increase with time, ensuring an extremely long service life.
(9) Good processing and secondary decoration performance: According to the actual situation,
sawing, drilling, engraving, drilling, painting, pasting ceramic tiles, wall coverings and other
materials.
2.6 Product Advantages
Fiber cement board belongs to a new generation of "green" building materials, and has unique
environmental protection functions based on excellent moisture and fireproof performance. It is
a new building material with siliceous and calcareous materials as the main substrate, cellulose
fiber reinforced materials, other auxiliary materials, and high-pressure curing through copying
and forming. It has the advantages of light weight, high strength, waterproof, anti-corrosion,

fireproof, large format, good processability and improved construction efficiency. It is widely used
in civil and industrial buildings.
3.Market Survey
3.1 Market Analysis
According to the long-term market survey of the fiber cement board industry, we found that fiber
cement board is mainly used in public places such as office places, medical places, hotels, large
shopping malls, theaters, etc., and private houses can also be widely used. At the same time, the
raw materials for the production of fiber cement board are simple and easy to obtain, and the
cost is low. Therefore, the market potential of fiber cement board is huge.
3.2 Competitive Analysis
(1) The fiber cement board production line has a high degree of automation, which can
effectively reduce labor costs, improve raw material utilization rate, production efficiency and
product quality. Compared with other building materials, the production cost of fiber cement
board will be low and the market share will increase.
(2) Affected by factors such as national macro-control, rising raw materials and labor costs,
people prefer to use cheap and durable fiber cement board.
3.3 Main Resource Analysis
Most of the resources need by the fiber cement board factory can be supplied, so the producing
cost can be controlled.
(1) Cement
Cement is a building material that is often used and is easy to buy and cheap.

(6) Water
The fiber cement board production line requires a large amount of water, about 10 tons of water
per day, but the water can be recycled.
(7) Electricity
The fiber cement board production line uses approximately 60 kilowatts of electricity per hour
during normal production.The cost of the government electricity is 0.10 USD / KW.
(8) Land and labors
The requirements of the entire fiber cement board line for the production workshop are:
length ≥ 60 meters, width ≥ 15 meters, height ≥ 4.5 meters.
The total production land needs at least 2,500 square meters.
And Afghanistan have many cheap labors, and the average cost of labor to operating the factory
is 300 $/month, the fiber cement board factory have managers, each average 800 $/month, and
two Chinese engineers, each 2500 $/month.
