The Production Process of Color Brick Machines
Every piece of equipment has its unique value, playing a critical role in industrial progress. In the machinery sector, specialized devices serve distinct functions, and the Color Brick Machine is a prime example. Today, we delve into the intricate production processes that define these essential machines.
Color brick machines are generally categorized into two types: Vacuum Brick Machines and Burn-free (Non-burning) Brick Machines. Traditional vacuum machines rely on massive amounts of natural clay—a process that consumes valuable land resources. In contrast, Burn-free Brick Machines utilize industrial by-products such as coal gangue, slate, rock powder, fly ash, slag, gravel, and sand. By eliminating the combustion phase, these machines are more eco-friendly and resource-efficient, making them the preferred choice for sustainable development.
Since 2015, international policies have increasingly restricted clay bricks to protect arable land, promoting the recycling of solid waste. Consequently, brick products made from fly ash, gypsum, and quicklime are steadily replacing traditional clay-based options.
Process 1: Traditional Clay Brick Production (Vacuum Method) Clay is blended with sand and stone powder in a mixer. Once homogenized, the mixture is conveyed to the Vacuum Brick Machine. Under high vacuum pressure, the brick bodies are molded, cut into uniform sizes by a splitter, and automatically stacked by a specialized machine before being sent into the kiln for firing.
Process 2: Fly Ash Brick Manufacturing (Modern Automated Line) The modern workflow is more sophisticated:
Crushing: Quicklime is processed through a Jaw Crusher.
Grinding: Material enters a pulverizer for fine grinding.
Mixing: Blended uniformly with other raw materials.
Digestion: Processed in a steaming pot for chemical stabilization.
Milling & Molding: Refined in an edge-runner mill and pressed via a high-pressure hydraulic brick machine.
Curing: Transported to an autoclave for steam curing.
Drying: Air-dried for approximately 10 days to achieve final strength.
Operation Summary: Scientific Batching → Water Mixing → High-Pressure Vibration Molding → Short-term Drying → Finished Product.
