What is an Automatic Brick Laying Machine?
MAIKONG’s advanced automatic brick laying machine in operation
An automatic brick laying machine is a sophisticated robotic system designed to place bricks, blocks, and mortar with precision and consistency. These machines combine advanced robotics, computer programming, and construction expertise to automate what has traditionally been a manual, labor-intensive process.
MAIKONG’s automatic brick laying machines feature telescopic boom arms, precision placement systems, and intelligent control software that reads digital blueprints to execute construction with remarkable accuracy. Our systems can lay up to 360 blocks per hour, potentially completing both external and internal walls of a standard house in a single day.
The technology represents a significant advancement in construction methodology, addressing critical industry challenges including labor shortages, quality inconsistencies, and project delays. By automating the brick laying process, construction companies can achieve faster build times while maintaining exceptional quality standards.
Key Advantages of MAIKONG Automatic Brick Laying Machines
Superior Speed
Our automatic brick laying machine can place up to 360 blocks per hour, dramatically reducing construction time compared to traditional methods. This acceleration in building speed allows projects to be completed in a fraction of the time, providing significant cost savings.
Precision Construction
MAIKONG’s robotic systems deliver unmatched accuracy in brick placement. Our Dynamic Stabilization Technology corrects for movement and vibration in real-time, ensuring precise alignment even in challenging outdoor conditions.
Labor Efficiency

The MAIKONG Production Process: From Raw Material to Finished Block
- Material Batching and Preparation: Raw materials (cement, sand, crushed stone) are precisely measured and discharged to the mixer according to optimal formulations.
- Mixing Section: Materials are evenly mixed with water to achieve the perfect consistency before being transferred to the block making machine via conveyor.
- Block Forming: Under PLC computer intelligent control, the mixed material undergoes hydraulic transmission, vibration, and shaping to create perfectly formed blocks.
- Automatic Stacking: After demolding, green bricks are unloaded to pallets and arranged in organized stacks for efficient handling.
- Block Curing: Freshly formed blocks are conveyed to curing areas where they develop optimal strength under controlled conditions.
Recommended Material Formula: For optimal block quality, we suggest using 8-10% cement, 30-40% sand, and 50-60% crushed stone. Alternatively, a mix of 8-10% cement, 30% flyash, and 60% sand or stone powder delivers excellent results.
The Heart of Quality: MAIKONG Moulds and Manufacturing
MAIKONG’s advanced heat treatment facility for mould production
The exceptional performance of our automatic brick laying machines begins with superior manufacturing processes. MAIKONG uses premium GB Q235 steel for all moulds, which undergo specialized carburizing heat treatment to achieve hardness ratings of 54-58 HRC. This intensive process ensures our moulds can withstand over 100,000 production cycles while maintaining dimensional precision.
Our manufacturing facility features specialized workshops dedicated to specific production phases. The cutting material workshop, welding and heat treatment workshop, assembly workshop, and commissioning workshops each contribute specialized expertise to ensure every machine meets our exacting standards.
Advanced production equipment including arc welding, carbon dioxide welding machines, gas cutters, large stamping machines, wire-electrode cutting, and precision lathes enable us to maintain tight tolerances and superior finish quality. This commitment to manufacturing excellence translates directly to the performance and longevity of your automatic brick laying machine.
“The quality of MAIKONG moulds is unmatched in the industry. Their carburizing treatment process delivers exceptional durability that significantly reduces our maintenance costs and downtime.”
