9 Best Types of Brick Making Machines

1. Manual Brick Making Machine:

These are the simplest of all brick manufacturing machines. They usually consist of a hopper which holds sand or clay mix, roller to compress material and molding board to form bricks. One person is required for this machine. This type is affordable but will require high labor costs because one worker can only make limited number of brick per hour.

2. Semi-Automatic Brick Making Machines:

This type of machine makes use of more automation than manual machines but still require human to load and unload materials. It also uses one molding board for making bricks, which will often cause the brick size to vary slightly from time to time. A person can make up to 700 bricks per hour with this machine.

3. Automatic Brick Manufacturing Machines:

This brick manufacturing machine is the most advanced and makes use of machinery to achieve high production rates at low cost. It requires minimum labor, very little energy input and also produces more than one type of shape or size bricks simultaneously. Two types are available; Continuous Shaper Type which require electricity and Hydraulic Shaper Type which also requires water pressure for brick shaping.

4. Fly Ash Brick Making Machine:

Fly ash Brick Making Machines produce bricks using fly ash as the main ingredient. These machines are capable of making up to pieces per hour and can create a wide range of shapes for various construction projects such as houses, building walls etc. The machine is automated – it has conveyors which take raw materials from hoppers to feeders; further conveyor takes fly ash bricks from a stacker and discharges it to a pre-heater. The machine is user friendly, requires minimum maintenance and has high durability. Fly Ash Brick Making Machines are available in two types:

The New Type of Fly Ash Brick Manufacturing Machine which make use of hydraulic pressure for brick shaping while the Old Type makes use of electricity.

5. Clay Brick Making Machine:

Clay brick making machine is the best choice for those who want to make bricks in high volume and at lower cost. It's also possible to get different brick shapes with this type of machine, which will help you build a variety of structures. Let's explore the benefits and differences between fly ash brick manufacturing machines and clay brick manufacturing machines so you can decide what type works best for your project!

Fly Ash Brick Making Machine vs Clay Brick Making Machine:

This type of machine is good for large-scale manufacturing and can produce a wide range of brick sizes, shapes and textures. Although it's more expensive than clay machines, this machine will help you save money in the long run because it requires less expenditure on raw materials such as fly ash or cement. Clay brick making machine

Clay brick making machines are ideal for those who need to produce a limited number of bricks and at lower cost. The machine is cheaper than fly ash machines because it doesn't require much energy input or advanced machinery. It can be used in small scale manufacturing, home construction projects etc., but the individual will not have as much control over size, shape or texture of bricks.

6. Interlocking Brick Making Machine:

This brick manufacturing machine makes up to pieces per hour and can create various shapes that are suitable for building homes, warehouses etc. The bricks made by this type of machines have higher strength than other types because the Interlocking mechanism ensures perfect alignment between two bricks when they're pressed together.

Pros: The main advantage of interlocking brick making machine is it requires less manpower, however it's also noisier than other machine types. It is the best choice for those who are looking to build strong structures on a tight budget and don't mind the noise created by this type of brick manufacturing machines.

The interlocking bricks can be used for exterior wall applications as well as flooring or roof tiles because of their strength. This brick type can be produced at lower cost compared to other types, but it's also less durable.

Cons: The main disadvantage of this machine is that the bricks are not suitable for interior wall applications because they absorb water due to high porosity and may become weak over time. The interlocking mechanism makes the bricks more expensive than normal bricks.

Applications: Interlocking brick making machine is the best choice for those who are looking to build strong homes or warehouses on a tight budget and don't mind the noise created by this type of machines. The bricks made with these types of machines have higher strength than other types due to interlocking mechanism which ensures perfect alignment between two bricks when they're pressed together.

7. Haydruallic Brick Making Machine:

Haydruallic brick making machine is the newest type of brick manufacturing machines which makes use of hydraulic pressure for pressing bricks. Haydrualic bricks are suitable for both exterior wall application as well as flooring or roof tiles because of their strength. Although the bricks made with these types of machines have higher strength than other type, interlocking mechanism makes them more expensive compared to normal bricks.

Advantages: this new technology helps in producing more number of bricks with less wastage, lower cost and reduces time consumption by 60%. The best advantage of using haydrualic press over other types is that it does not create any noise.

Applications: These new technology brick making machines are the best choice for those who are looking to build strong homes or warehouses on a tight budget and don't mind low noise created by this type of machine. The bricks made with these types of machines have higher strength than other type, however they're also less durable due to interlocking mechanism which ensures perfect alignment between two brick when pressed together.

8. Hollow Brick Making Machine:

Hollow bricks are manufactured using a mould. Cement, sand and water is mixed in the correct proportion to make sure that hollow brick doesn't have any air bubbles inside it which makes them even more stronger than normal solid brick. These types of machine can produce up to pieces per hour with perfect finish on both sides of each piece without requiring any hand work.

Advantages: the main advantage of using this machine over other types is that it does not require any manual skills to produce hollow bricks which are suitable for both interior wall applications as well as flooring or roof tiles due to their strength and low porosity.

The main advantage of using these types of machines over others is that it can produce soft as well as tough bricks suitable for exterior wall applications as well as flooring or roof tiles.

Cement Brick Making Machine

Generally, a cement brick making machine is a machine that uses vibration and pressure on the mortar and molds to produce hollow concrete blocks. By changing the mold the concrete brick machine can produce hollow blocks, solid blocks, paving blocks, curbstones, grasscretes, roof gutters, and more than 400 different shapes with a height of 5cm to 30cm.

This machine is also called a brick making machine and has different automation levels and different capacities. We will discuss them one by one.

You may ask why cement is used instead of concrete in the name. It is because usually, people don’t know the difference between concrete and cement, Cement is the powder that is used with other raw materials and water to form the concrete in the shape of mortar. 

About the brick, this is true as well. Before hollow blocks, people only used bricks and when these hollow blocks were created, people started to call them ''cement bricks''. It is not a correct name but it is commonly used.

People also call these machines different names when they produce different products. For example, when the block making machine produces paver blocks it is called a paver block machine.

When the machine produces hollow blocks it is called a hollow block machine.

The other difference between these two machines is that hollow block machines are single-hopper machines and paver block machines are double-hopper machines. You can click on their names to read more information about them.

Cement Brick Making Machine types

Cement Brick making machines have different types but globally it is categorized into two main types

• Mobile brick making machine

• Stationary brick making machine

Mobile Brick Making Machine

A mobile brick making machine is also called the bricklaying machine. It is way simpler than the stationary cement brick machines. It is cheaper as well, but the capacity and mold options are lower as well. This machine is capable of moving after it lays the bricks.

Goto Linyi Birck Mate Machinery to know more.

Talking about the pros and cons, this bricklaying machine moves after it lays concrete blocks. This machine doesn’t need pallets. It produces hollow blocks on the ground, this is an advantage but every machine in the world has its disadvantages as well. This machine is not a paver block machine it means it cannot produce concrete paving blocks and the capacity is low compared to stationary cement brick making machines.

The capacity of the mobile brick laying machine is between and pieces of standard hollow concrete blocks in eight hours.

The standard hollow block is a block with the dimensions 20cm(W) x 40cm(L) x 20cm(H) 

Totally to operate this cement brick making machine you need 4 workers on the field, one worker will operate the machine, two workers supply the mortar needed for the machine, and one delivers mortar from the mixer to the machine.

The capacity of the mobile brick laying machine is shown in the table below:

Stationary Cement Brick Making Machine

As the name represents this machine is stationary. It is designed to produce different capacities and different types of concrete products. This machine uses pallets and molds to produce cement blocks.

First, aggregate is transferred to the field to supply the cement brick making machine then the machine automatically or semi-automatically delivers this aggregate to the mixer. Water and cement are added to the mixer in this step, then the mortar is formed. Mortar is then delivered to the machine and the machine uses molds and pallets to produce hollow concrete blocks. we use Siemens plc equipment in our machines.

When concrete blocks are formed, they need to get dried before they can be used.

To transfer the pallets to the drying section two choices are available:

• Manual pallet collecting system
• Automatic pallet collecting system

Each of both has advantages and disadvantages, manual pallet collecting system is cheap and simple, but it required more space to get dried because pallets are collected and delivered one by one, it consumes more time as well because it is done manually and slowly.

On the other hand, the automatic pallet collecting system is more expensive but it is done by robots that are mounted on the machine. Pallets containing the produced wet blocks are first stored on top of each other, when they reach five, they are delivered to the drying section to get dried.

With this system, you need smaller space for the drying section (five times smaller). Then the dried pellets are brought to the pallet feeding part of the machine and a robot takes the dried concrete blocks and delivers them to the euro pallets. It is true that the automatic block making machine is expensive, but the advantages far overweigh the price.

You can check the price details of this machine in the article ''concrete block machine description and price''.

The stationary cement brick making machine has some special options which can be added when ordering. for example, you can add a second hopper for the machine. with this option, you can produce two-layered paving blocks with different colors to make the paving blocks or other products more appealing. this machine is also called the paver block machine.

The smallest stationary cement brick making machine can produce 4 pieces of standard hollow blocks in one press. standard block means a block with the dimensions of 20cm*40cm*20cm(height). This machine is called PRS400.

The next stationary cement brick making machine can produce 6 pieces of standard hollow blocks in one press. this machine is called PRS600.

There are bigger sizes as well. The biggest size of the stationary machines is PRS.

The smallest stationary brick making machine can produce pieces of hollow concrete blocks and The biggest stationary cement brick making machine can produce pieces of hollow concrete blocks in eight hours.

The technical information on the stationary hollow block making machine is shown in the table below:

The mortar Used In Producing Hollow Concrete Blocks

The basic mixture of the mortar is a 4-to-1 or 5-to-1 mixture. It means for every five parts of sand you need to add one part of cement and then you should add water until it you achieve the texture you want for your cement brick making machine. To produce a mixture that can be used in a cement brick machine you generally want a thick, creamy mixture that will stick but also endure the blocks' weight.

When adding water, you need to be more careful because too much water will make it difficult for the sand particles to bond with cement in the concrete.

You should also be careful with the amount of cement you are using for your cement brick making machine. Too much cement will cause cracks on the hollow concrete clocks when they are dried. you can sometimes go as low as three shovels of sand to one shovel of cement, anything beyond that does not provide you with a quality mortar that cures slowly and hardens the best.

Sand helps the hollow concrete blocks to withstand the weight of the wall. So make sure you use the right ratio in your mortar.

These days it is very important to make hollow blocks lighter in weight.

It can be achieved by mixing a lighter aggregate, such as perlite, vermiculite, or Styrofoam to reduce the overall weight.

Like always it has advantages and disadvantages. It is not as strong as the old mixture but it has better insulation than the traditional concrete.

 This concrete is often used for countertops and rooftop decks, where a lighter weight is more important than a higher strength. it is also used for walls where insulation is more important than strength, such as offices.
