Time:2025-07-29 09:38:54

Brick making machines can be classified into various types based on their forming principles, degree of automation, output scale, and usage. The following will explain the core classification dimensions:


1、 Classified by molding principle

Hydraulic brick making machine

Principle: By providing stable high pressure (usually 31.5-50MPa) through a hydraulic system, the raw materials are compressed and formed in the mold, resulting in high density and strength of the product.

Features: Low noise, short molding cycle (15-30 seconds/time), suitable for producing high-strength bricks (such as concrete bricks, curbstones).

Application: In the fields of municipal engineering and real estate, it can produce Dutch bricks, slope protection bricks, and large cement products (such as 1.2-meter curbstones).

Representative models: DMYF series hydraulic brick press (with a production capacity of over 20000 pieces per shift), QTJ4-18 small hydraulic brick making machine (with a molding cycle of 18-20 seconds).

Vibration brick making machine

Principle: Relying on mechanical vibration (frequency 4500-5000 times/minute) to rearrange the raw material particles, combined with low-pressure compression molding.

Characteristics: Medium output, but slightly low product density and high noise (95db (A)), suitable for producing lightweight bricks (such as permeable bricks and lawn bricks).

Application: Square paving, garden landscape and other scenes.

Representative model: Shock pressure brick making machine (with an 8-hour output of 280 square meters per shift).

Pneumatic brick making machine

Principle: Using compressed air to drive the piston and intermittently impact and compress the raw materials.

Features: Simple structure, low cost, but unstable pressure, low output, gradually replaced by hydraulic/vibration models.

Application: Small workshops or temporary construction sites.

2、 Classified by degree of automation

Fully automatic brick making machine

Features: Integrated raw material processing, mixing, forming, demolding, and palletizing full process automation, supporting PLC control and remote monitoring.

Advantages: High efficiency (2000-20000 yuan per shift), low labor costs (4-5 people for operation), suitable for large-scale production.

Representative models: Large hydraulic brick making machine (DMYF series), QTY4-30 mobile hydraulic brick making machine (with a production capacity of 2000-2600 pieces per shift).

Semi-automatic brick making machine

Characteristics: Some processes require manual intervention (such as raw material filling and demolding), and the degree of automation is relatively low.

Advantages: Low equipment cost, suitable for small and medium-sized production lines or budget limited scenarios.

Application: Rural self built houses, small brick factories.

manual brick-making machine

Characteristics: Completely dependent on manual operation, unstable pressure and molding quality.

Application: Temporary construction sites or emergency brick making needs.

3、 Classified by production scale

Large brick making machine

Production capacity: The team produces over 10000 pieces and supports simultaneous molding of multiple cavities (such as 14-20 pieces/mold).

Features: High degree of automation, low maintenance cost, suitable for large cement product factories or municipal engineering.

Representative model: DMYF800-2C hydraulic brick press (with a production capacity of over 20000 pieces per shift).

Medium sized brick making machine

Production capacity: 2000-10000 pieces per shift, supporting 6-12 pieces per mold.

Features: High cost-effectiveness, suitable for medium-sized brick factories or regional building materials supply.

Representative model: QTJ4-28 hydraulic brick making machine (molding cycle of 20 seconds/time).

Small brick making machine

Production capacity: 500-2000 pieces per shift, 1-4 pieces for single-mode molding.

Features: Flexible mobility, low investment cost, suitable for rural or temporary construction sites.

Representative model: QTY4-30 mobile hydraulic brick making machine (overall size 1300 × 1500 × 1000mm).

4、 Classified by purpose and raw materials

Baking free brick machine

Raw materials: industrial solid waste such as fly ash, slag, and construction waste.

Features: No need for firing, environmentally friendly and energy-saving, in line with national policy promotion direction.

Application: Production of autoclaved fly ash bricks, aerated concrete products, etc.

Sintering brick machine

Raw materials: clay, shale, etc.

Features: High temperature firing (900-1200 ℃) is required, resulting in high product strength but high energy consumption.

Current situation: Due to the destruction of arable land, the use of solid clay bricks has been banned in many parts of China.

Special brick machine

Types: Permeable brick machine (producing permeable concrete bricks), slope protection brick machine (producing ecological slope protection bricks), roadside stone machine (producing roadside edge stones), etc.

Features: The mold can be replaced, supporting one machine for multiple uses, and adapting to diverse needs.
