For investors planning to set up a brick plant, selecting a proper brick‑making production line directly determines your profit. Many new buyers only focus on machine price, ignoring output capacity, raw‑material adaption and workshop conditions, which later leads to low production and poor brick quality.
There are four key points you need to evaluate before purchasing non‑fired brick equipment.
First, clarify your target output. Semi‑automatic machines help you lower initial investment for small startup factories. If you take large municipal or construction projects, full‑automatic static press brick line will be more suitable. Do not blindly choose oversized machines; match machine capacity with your real order volume.
Second, check local available raw materials. Non‑fired bricks do not need kiln firing. Sand, gravel, stone dust, slag and fly ash can all be used for brick production. Particle size and moisture content will affect brick forming result. Inform machinery supplier your local material condition for correct machine configuration.
Third, prepare enough workshop space. Besides main brick machine, you need areas for batching, mixing, brick forming, as well as large curing yard for finished bricks. Small‑size line needs minimum 800㎡ area, large full‑auto static press line requires workshop above 1500㎡. Confirm local industrial voltage in advance, most machines support custom voltage & frequency for different countries.
Fourth, define brick types you will produce. Solid bricks, hollow blocks, grass‑planting bricks and curb stones can be produced by changing molds. If you plan to make multiple brick products later, confirm quick‑change mold function and high‑chromium alloy steel molds for long service life.
Besides machines, check supplier after‑sales service and spare‑part supply ability. For overseas buyers, fast spare‑part delivery matters a lot. Work with manufacturers who provide English manuals, operation videos and long‑term wear‑parts supply.
