What factors should be considered when buying a brick machine?

First, production demand

Yield requirement

You need to determine the output of the brick machine according to your own production scale and market demand. If you are a small construction business, only to meet their own small project needs, then the output of about 1000-3000 bricks per hour brick machine may be enough. However, if you are supplying bricks for large construction projects or building materials markets, you may need a large brick machine with an output of more than 5,000 pieces per hour.

For example, a brick factory affiliated to a large real estate development company, in order to meet the brick needs of many real estate construction, may choose a fully automatic brick production line with a high output, and its output can reach 10,000-15,000 bricks per hour.

Brick type specification

Different construction projects and application scenarios require different specifications of bricks. Common red brick (240mm×115mm×53mm), hollow brick, porous brick, road brick and other types. Make sure that the brick machine you buy can produce the type of brick you need.

For example, for urban sidewalk construction, it is necessary to buy a brick machine that can produce the right size of the trail brick (such as 200mm×100mm×60mm), and it is best to be able to easily adjust the mold to produce different patterns and thickness of the trail brick.

Second, equipment quality

Material and process

The key components of the brickmaking machine, such as the body frame, mold, indenter, extrusion screw (for extruded brickmaking machine), etc., should be made of high-quality steel. The high-quality steel has the characteristics of high strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, which can ensure the stable operation of the brickmaking machine in a long-term and high-strength working environment.

For example, the fuselage frame is made of thickened Q345B steel, which has a high yield strength and can withstand the intense pressure of brick-making. The mold part is made of high quality alloy steel and after quenching, tempering and other heat treatment processes, which can improve the hardness and wear resistance of the mold and extend its service life.

Brand and reputation

Choosing a well-known brand of brick making machine is usually more secure. You can understand the reputation of the brickmaking machine brand by viewing industry evaluation, user feedback, professional forums and other channels. Brands with good reputation often perform well in terms of equipment quality and after-sales service.

For example, some brands that have been deeply engaged in the industry for many years and have many successful cases, their brickmaking machines have been tested by the market in terms of stability and reliability, users have relatively few problems in the use process, and brand manufacturers can usually provide technical support and maintenance services in a timely manner.

Technical parameters

Pressure or extrusion force

For the press type brick making machine, the pressure is directly related to the density and strength of the brick. In general, pressing ordinary building bricks requires 10-20MPa of pressure. For the production of high-strength, high-density bricks, such as solid bricks for load-bearing walls, a pressure of more than 30MPa May be required.

The extrusion force of the extruded brickmaking machine determines the extrusion speed of the raw materials and the forming quality of the brick. Insufficient extrusion force may lead to cracks, deformation and other problems. For example, in the production of clay bricks, the extrusion force is generally required to be about 15-25kN.

Power and consumption

The power of the brick-making machine affects its production efficiency, but it is also closely related to energy consumption. Higher power brick machines may produce faster, but the energy consumption will increase accordingly. You need to consider it according to your actual needs and cost budget.

For example, a small hydraulic brick machine with a power of 15-20kW consumes about 15-20 degrees per hour; The power of the large automatic brick production line may reach 50-100kW, and the power consumption is about 50-100 degrees per hour. When choosing, weigh productivity against long-term operating costs.
