1. PAINPOINT DRIVEN OPENING

Are inconsistent brick quality and frequent machine downtime eroding your project margins and reputation? Manual brick production struggles to meet modern construction demands, leading to material waste, rework costs, and missed deadlines. Commercial buyers, plant managers, and engineering contractors face persistent challenges:

Variable Product Quality: Inconsistent density, dimensional tolerance, and compressive strength in finished bricks lead to failed compliance checks, rejected batches, and costly onsite remediation.
Unscheduled Downtime: Mechanical failures in critical components like the hydraulic system or mold assembly halt entire production lines. Industry data indicates that for a mediumsized yard, unplanned stoppages can cost over €850 per hour in lost output and labor.
High Operational Costs: Excessive energy consumption per brick, coupled with significant raw material waste from imprecise filling and cutting, directly impacts your bottomline profitability.
Labor Intensity & Safety: Reliance on manual feeding, stacking, and handling increases labor costs and elevates the risk of repetitive strain injuries and workplace accidents.
Regulatory & Market Access: Producing bricks without CE Marked equipment risks noncompliance with EU safety, health, and environmental directives, blocking access to key public and private contracts.

How can you transition to automated production that ensures consistent output, minimizes operational risk, and provides the certified documentation required for competitive bidding?

2. PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Our range of CE Marked Brick Making Machines are fully automated stationary presses designed for highvolume production of precision concrete blocks, pavers, and specialty masonry units. The operational workflow integrates raw material handling, compression molding, and product handling into a continuous cycle:

1. Feeding & Metering: Premixed concrete (drycast or wetcast) is automatically fed from a hopper into the mold cavity with precise volumetric control.
2. Compression & Vibration: A combination of highfrequency vibration and substantial hydraulic pressure compacts the material within the steel mold to achieve optimal density.
3. Ejection & Palletizing: The freshly formed brick is ejected onto a pallet or conveyor belt. An automated stacker layers finished products for efficient curing.

Application Scope: Ideal for permanent plants supplying largescale construction projects, infrastructure developments (e.g., roads with pavers), and commercial block yards. Suitable for producing a wide variety of interlocking concrete blocks (ICBs), hollow blocks, solid bricks, kerbstones, and landscaping products.

Limitations: These are industrialscale systems requiring a prepared foundation (concrete slab), threephase electrical power connection (380415V), consistent access to raw materials (aggregates), adequate space for curing racks/areas.
