How Drywall Is Made: From Gypsum Mine to Wall Panel | Full Process | FctryBuilt

Every single wall in every American home, hospital, school and office is built from the same material — drywall. But almost nobody knows where it actually comes from or how it is made. The 10-stage journey from raw gypsum rock blasted out of an open-pit mine to a finished wall panel ready for installation is one of the most fascinating manufacturing stories in construction. In this video, we take you inside a real drywall manufacturing facility and show you the complete process — from explosive blasting in a gypsum mine all the way to 18-wheeler trucks delivering finished boards to construction sites across America. What you will see in this video: How giant excavators and haul trucks collect blasted gypsum rock from open-pit mines How jaw crushers, cone crushers and roller mills grind gypsum into ultra-fine white powder How rotary kilns heat gypsum at 150–160°C to drive out water and create calcined stucco How massive mixing bowls blend stucco with water, foam, paper fibers and starch into perfect slurry How master forming rollers press the slurry between two paper layers to create a continuous board ribbon How tapered edge rollers create the precision slope that allows seamless joint compound finishing How the gypsum hydration reaction causes microscopic crystals to interlock and create solid rock strength How high-speed flying shears cut the endless board ribbon into 8, 10 and 12-foot panels How multi-deck drying kilns remove all moisture at precisely controlled temperatures for 45+ minutes How ultrasonic inspection, stretch-wrap and robotic stacking prepare millions of boards for delivery --- SOURCES & REFERENCES: How Drywall Is Made — HowStuffWorks: https://home.howstuffworks.com/home-i...
