Raw Materials and Production Process
The MAIKONG automatic brick machine can utilize various raw materials to produce high-quality bricks:
Raw Materials for Brick Production
Recommended Material Ratios
Standard Mix
- 8-10% cement
- 30-40% sand
- 50-60% crushed stone
- Water (as required for proper consistency)
Alternative Mix
- 8-10% cement
- 30% fly ash
- 60% sand or stone powder
- Water (as required for proper consistency)
Production Process
Complete Brick Production Process
- Material Batching: Raw materials are precisely measured and discharged to the mixer according to the formula.
- Mixing: Materials are thoroughly mixed with water to achieve optimal consistency for molding.
- Brick Forming: Mixed materials are fed into the mold case, where hydraulic pressure and vibration form the bricks.
- Stacking: Freshly formed “green” bricks are automatically unloaded and stacked for transport.
- Curing: Bricks are transported to curing areas where they gain strength over 7-14 days.
Did you know? The MAIKONG automatic brick machine can utilize various waste materials like fly ash and construction waste, contributing to more sustainable building practices while reducing production costs.
