Wall plastering: the road of change from tradition to mechanization

2025-06-27 09:26:51

In the huge system of building construction, wall plastering is a very important and fundamental job. It can not only protect the wall, like a solid armor to block the wind and rain, temperature changes, slow erosion, and extend the life of the wall; it can also improve the flatness, fill the wall bumps, gaps, to create a smooth base, and facilitate the subsequent decorative decoration, so that the material fits perfectly.



Seemingly ordinary, but in building construction has an irreplaceable value, is to protect the building quality and performance of the key link.

 Traditional Plastering - Limitations and Challenges of the Artisanal Era

In the long history of building construction, the traditional wall plastering process has long dominated. In traditional plastering construction, workers need to hold simple tools such as spatulas and rulers to complete a process with skillful manual techniques.

However, there are obvious shortcomings in this process.

Construction efficiency is low, a skilled worker can only complete 80 - 100 square meters per day, labor intensity and easy to cause occupational diseases. In terms of quality, it depends on the experience of the workers, which results in different wall flatness, common problems such as hollow drums and cracks, and a high rework rate.

In the construction industry's pursuit of efficiency and quality, the traditional plastering process can no longer meet development needs.



Machine Plastering - Technology Enabled Efficient Construction

Compared with traditional manual plastering, machine plastering empowers construction with technology and shows revolutionary advantages.

 

During the operation, workers do not need to repeat the high-intensity smearing action, but only need to adjust the machine through the intelligent control panel to realize efficient construction. The machine is equipped with a microcomputer automatic leveling system, and the error of vertical leveling of the wall after plastering is precisely controlled within 2 millimeters! Compared with manual

Complete set of systems to solve the industry's problems


In response to the long-standing pain points in the construction industry, such as wall cracking, hollowing and substandard flatness, as well as the shortage of skilled labor, Dreitel's team has developed a complete set of machine spraying and robotic smoothing application technology system, which fundamentally improves the defects of manual operation of wall plastering construction. It provides a replicable and popularized practice model for the transformation of construction industrialization.

In terms of industry development trends, the advantages of mechanized construction are not only reflected in current engineering practice, but also herald a profound change in the production and work patterns of the entire construction industry.

 

At the efficiency level:the advantages are significant. Take Dreitel's DM leading wall plasterer as an example, the average daily construction area of a single machine reaches 800 - 1000 square meters, which can significantly shorten the duration of large-scale projects by 40% - 60% to meet the requirements of the schedule and accelerate the return of funds.

 

In terms of cost control :the introduction of machinery and equipment reduces labor input and rework costs as the demographic dividend recedes and labor costs rise.

 

In terms of industry ecology: it solves the difficult problem of “labor shortage” by allowing workers to shift to technical posts such as equipment operation and maintenance, attracting young people to join the industry and optimizing the industry talent structure.

To sum up, mechanized construction is reshaping the development pattern of the construction industry by virtue of its significant efficiency advantages, excellent cost control ability and optimization of the industry ecology.

 

As a pioneer in the industry, DrayTek will continue to plough into the field of mechanized construction in the future, taking technology research and development as the engine and customer needs as the guide, continuously optimizing the performance of the equipment and perfecting the service system, so as to continue to shine in the process of promoting the intelligent and efficient transformation of the construction industry, and to work hand in hand with its partners in the industry to open up a wider future, helping more enterprises to achieve cost reduction and increase efficiency, and stepping forward to a new journey of high-quality development.
