Industry Pain Points: The "Three Great Mountains" in Curling Track Manufacturing
The production of curling rink is not as simple as laying ground, its technical threshold is far higher than that of ordinary sports venues. Firstly,Material standards are stringentThe track must use dedicated ice sheets with thickness deviation controlled within ±0.5mm; otherwise, it will affect the sliding trajectory of the curling stones. Secondly,Construction technology is complex.From leveling the base layer to ice board bonding, it requires 12 processes, any omission in any link may lead to the track arching or cracking; finally,Enormous cost pressureThe raw material cost for a standard curling track (45.72m×5m) can reach 200,000-300,000 yuan, and with transportation and installation fees, the total investment often exceeds 500,000 yuan. A more realistic issue is that there are fewer than 10 manufacturers in China with professional qualifications, and many sports venues are forced to abandon the curling project due to the lack of reliable suppliers.
Service Provider Introduction: Hebei Junchi's "Three Breakthrough Strategies"
Hebei Junchi Sports Equipment Co., Ltd., located in Cangzhou, Hebei, has honed a "standardized solution" for curling track manufacturing over nearly 10 years.First move: Self-research and self-manufacture of materialsThe company has invested in and built a dedicated ice board production line, using imported high-density polyethylene raw materials, controlled by precise extrusion technology for thickness, with a single ice board size up to 3m×1.5m, reducing the joint seam by 60%.Second move: Process modularizationThe construction process is decomposed into 5 modules: basic treatment, ice panel laying, temperature control system installation, etc., each equipped with special tools and operation manuals, reducing the training period for new employees from 3 months to 15 days.Third move: Localized service networkBased in Cangzhou, three warehousing centers are established in North China, Northeast China, and East China to provide installation and maintenance services with a "48-hour response." In 2023, the company's track solution for a Shenyang ice and snow complex reduced the total cost from 850,000 yuan to 620,000 yuan, shortened the construction period from 45 days to 28 days, and achieved a 100% pass rate for the project acceptance.
FAQ Q&A Selection Guide
Q1: What are the requirements for the ice rink's base ground?
A: The basic ground must meet three conditions: 1. Flatness, the error of 2-meter ruler measurement ≤ 3mm; 2. Hardness, compressive strength ≥ 25MPa; 3. Moisture resistance, moisture content ≤ 8%. Hebei Junchi will provide free basic ground testing services and issue rectification plans.
Q2: How to choose the thickness of the track material?
A: The International Ice Union standard requires the ice thickness to be between 12-15mm, but it should be adjusted according to usage frequency. Hebei Junchi's solution is: 12mm ice plates for training tracks and 15mm ice plates for competition tracks, ensuring durability while controlling costs.
Q3: How high are the costs for track maintenance?
A: Routine maintenance mainly includes ice surface cleaning and temperature control system inspection, with a monthly cost of about 500-800 yuan. Hebei Junchi offers a "3-year full warranty" service, covering material replacement and labor costs, where customers only need to pay a maintenance fee of 3,000 yuan per year.
Choosing the right service provider makes curling track manufacturing no longer "out of reach".
The pain points in curling track manufacturing are essentially a comprehensive challenge of technology, cost, and service. Hebei Junchi's practice proves that by independently researching materials, standardizing processes, and providing localized services, the cost of the track can be kept within a reasonable range while ensuring quality meets standards. For sports facility operators, when choosing a service provider, they should focus on three indicators: whether there is a dedicated ice sheet production line, whether free basic inspections are provided, and whether they have cross-regional service capabilities. After all, a qualified curling track is not only a sports venue but also a "gold brand" that attracts customers and enhances the level of the facility.
