Key points for purchasing brick making machines: Core performance and durability evaluation criteria

Choosing a suitable brick making machine is the first step to invest in production. Its core performance determines production efficiency, while durability is related to long-term operating costs and stability. Evaluating from the following four aspects can help you cut through the hype and find truly reliable equipment.

1. Core performance evaluation: Can it “produce well and produce well”?

This is a direct reflection of the equipment's capabilities and needs to match your production goals.

Molding method and output:

Molding methods: The mainstream methods are vibration pressure molding (suitable for most raw materials) and hydraulic compaction molding (high pressure, high brick density). Understand how it works and see if it works for your ingredients.

Actual output: Focus on the actual hourly output under stable working conditions, rather than the theoretical maximum. Ask to see real production videos or site visits.

Mold compatibility and mold change efficiency:

Make sure the machine can produce the brick type (size, shape) you need.

Key: Ask and observe how long and how much manpower it takes to replace a set of molds. The quick-change design can greatly improve production flexibility.

Degree of automation and operation:

From fully manual to fully automatic, the higher the degree of automation, the more stable the output and saving labor, but the higher the price and maintenance requirements. Weigh this based on your budget and labor availability.

2. Durability assessment: Is the structure “strong and strong”?

This determines how long the machine can work reliably and is the guarantee of long-term return on investment.

Fuselage structure and steel:

Look at the materials used: Are the racks and chassis made of thickened steel plates? When you tap it with your hands, you will find that the thick and solid sound is better than the thin and hollow sound.

Check the welding: Are the welds at the main load-bearing parts full, even and continuous? Rough solder joints are prone to cracking.

Test stability: Under the premise of safety, push and shake the fuselage with your hands to see if it feels stable and there is no obvious shaking.

Core power and transmission system:

Vibration motor/hydraulic system: Understand the brand and quality of core components (such as vibration motor, hydraulic pump, cylinder). Well-known brands are usually more reliable.

Operating status: If possible, run without load and listen to see if the sound is smooth and noise-free to see if the movement is smooth.

Core working component quality:

Mold: This is the largest wearing part. Check whether the mold material is high-hardness and wear-resistant alloy steel, and whether the surface is smooth and precise. Inferior molds wear out quickly and produce bricks of poor quality.

Press head, guide column: These high-strength moving parts need to have sufficient hardness and wear resistance.

3. Applicability assessment: Is it “practical”?

The equipment must work well under your specific conditions.

Raw material adaptability: Make it clear what raw materials you mainly use (such as cement, stone powder, construction waste), and ensure that the design of the selected machine can effectively handle such materials and achieve the ideal density.

Power matching: Check the power (kilowatts) required by the equipment to confirm whether your site can provide stable and sufficient power (usually three-phase power).

4. Security evaluation: Is the follow-up “worry-free”?

This is “soft power” that is often overlooked but is crucial.

Manufacturer's technical information: Does it provide clear and complete Chinese instructions and parts atlas?

After-sales service and accessories: this is top priority! Be sure to clarify: Are wearing parts (such as molds and sealing rings) easy to purchase? What's the price? Is there a local or nearby technical support or repair location? A cutoff in the supply of accessories can bring the entire device to a standstill.

Brand and reputation: Examine the manufacturer's history and professionalism, and try to contact existing users to understand the real use experience and failure rate.

Summary and purchasing path suggestions:

Determine the demand first: clarify the target brick type, daily output and main raw materials.

Compare performance again: Compare actual output, molding quality and energy consumption among models that meet your needs.

Focus on durability: Take a closer look at the structure, materials and core components on site or via video.

Final Verification Guarantee: Confirm the reliability of accessories, technical support and service as one of the decisive factors.

An excellent brick making machine should have a combination of performance that meets the requirements, a solid and durable structure, and strong after-sales support. By doing a little homework on these areas, you can make a wise investment and lay a solid foundation for long-term production.
