Brick Making Machines Factories Brochure
1. PAINPOINT DRIVEN OPENING
Are inconsistent brick quality and high production costs eroding your plant’s profitability? Commercial brick manufacturing faces persistent challenges that directly impact the bottom line. Manual material handling and inconsistent mixing lead to waste rates of 812%, while unplanned downtime from equipment wear can halt production for days, costing thousands in lost revenue per hour. Are you struggling with laborintensive processes that limit output scalability, or facing energy costs that consume over 30% of your operational budget? The core challenge is finding a reliable, automated brick making machine that delivers uniform product quality at a predictable, lower cost per unit. This content addresses how modern brick making machines factories are engineered to resolve these exact operational and financial pressures.
2. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
This document details our line of fully automatic stationary brick making machines, engineered for highvolume commercial production. These systems integrate raw material processing, precision mixing, highpressure compaction, and automated handling into a continuous workflow.
Operational Workflow:
1. Automated Feeding & Batching: Preprocessed raw materials (clay, fly ash, cement) are conveyed and batched by weight for consistent mix ratios.
2. Intensive Mixing & Conditioning: A doubleshaft mixer ensures homogeneous moisture distribution and material plasticity.
3. HighPressure Compaction: A hydraulic or mechanical press applies programmable tonnage to form bricks with precise density and dimensional stability.
4. Automatic Palletizing & Handling: Finished bricks are ejected, stacked on pallets, and transferred to the curing area via conveyor systems.
Application Scope: Ideal for largescale production of solid, hollow, paving, and interlocking bricks using clay, fly ash, or concrete mixes.
Limitations: Not designed for artisanal or very lowvolume batch production. Requires stable electrical supply and prepared raw material of specified granulometry.

6. APPLICATION SCENARIOS
Fly Ash Brick Plant Expansion
Challenge: A regional plant using semiautomatic presses faced high labor costs (12 persons/line), inconsistent strength ratings (712 N/mm²), and inability to meet a new large contract's volume demands.
Solution: Installation of two fully automatic brick making machines with central PLC control and isostatic compression.
Results: Output increased by 140% with only a 4person crew per line. Average brick compressive strength stabilized at >14 N/mm². The project achieved payback in under 22 months through labor savings and reduced rejection fees.
Clay Brick Manufacturer Modernization
Challenge: An established clay brick factory struggled with excessive mould wear (replacement every 6 weeks), high energy costs from outdated motors,and seasonal variability in product quality.
Solution:: Retrofitting a new brick making machine featuring hardened alloy wear parts,VFDs on all major drives,and the integrated moisture control loop.
