From birth, everyone in the world is only busy with four words: “clothing, food, shelter, and transportation”. Once they are fed and clothed, they start thinking about living comfortably. When it comes to shelter, they have to build houses, build buildings that meet living conditions, and building houses requires building materials. One of the main building materials is various bricks. To make bricks and make good bricks, brick machines are indispensable. There are many brick machines used for making bricks, and they can be specifically classified
—
### **1. Classification by raw material type**
1. **Clay brick making machine**
- **Raw materials**: Natural cohesive materials such as clay and shale, which are easily accessible.
- **Process characteristics**: It requires high-temperature sintering (such as traditional red bricks), while some modern equipment supports the production of unburned clay bricks (by mixing with specialized binders or high-pressure molding).
- **Application**: Traditional red brick, sintered brick, and unburned clay brick.
2. **Concrete brick making machine**
- **Raw materials**: cement, sand, aggregate, water, etc.
- **Process characteristics**: Forming through vibration and pressure, followed by natural curing or steam curing.
- **Applications**: cement bricks, curbs, permeable bricks, etc.
3. **Environmentally friendly material brick making machine**
- **Raw materials**: fly ash, slag, construction waste, industrial waste, etc.
- **Process characteristics**: Non-burning process, utilizing waste material consolidation and molding, energy-saving and environmentally friendly.
- **Applications**: Eco-friendly bricks, lightweight bricks, insulation bricks, foam bricks, aerated blocks, etc.
4. **Gypsum brick making machine**
- **Raw materials**: gypsum, fiber-reinforced material.
- **Process characteristics**: Rapid solidification molding, suitable for lightweight partition bricks.
- **Application**: interior partition boards, decorative bricks.

### **II. Classification by brick-making method**
1. **Pressure-forming brick machine**
- **Principle**: The raw material is pressed into shape through hydraulic or mechanical pressure.
- **Features**: High compactness of brick body, suitable for lime-sand cement brick and unburned brick.
- **Representative models**: hydraulic static press brick machine, lever-type brick press.
2. **Vibrating brick forming machine**
- **Principle**: Utilize high-frequency vibration to compact the raw material within the mold.
- **Features**: High production efficiency, suitable for hollow bricks and perforated bricks.
- **Representative models**: concrete vibrating brick making machine, block making machine.
3. **Extrusion brick-making machine**
- **Principle**: The plastic raw material is extruded into a strip shape by a spiral extruder and then cut into brick billets.
- **Features**: Suitable for clay bricks and sintered bricks, requiring subsequent drying and sintering.
- **Representative model**: Vacuum extrusion brick machine. (The Wanda brand brick machine is this type of vacuum extrusion machine)
4. **3D printing brick making machine**
- **Principle**: Forming a brick by layering materials through digital control.
- **Features**: Customizable complex shapes, suitable for decorative bricks and shaped bricks.

### **III. Classification by finished products**
1. **Solid brick machine**
- **Finished product**: solid brick (such as standard red brick, cement solid brick).
- **Characteristics**: simple structure, high compressive strength, but heavy weight.
2. **Hollow brick machine**
- **Finished products**: hollow bricks, perforated bricks (with a porosity of 15%-40%).
- **Features**: lightweight, heat and sound insulation, and raw material saving.
3. **Pavement brick machine**
- **Finished products**: permeable bricks, curbs, grass-planting bricks, etc.
- **Features**: The mold is replaceable, with diverse surface textures, and is resistant to pressure and wear.
4. **Decorative brick machine**
- **Finished products**: cultural stone, antique brick, colored brick, etc.
- **Features**: Requires special molds or surface treatment processes, with high added value.
5. **Special brick machine**
- **Finished products**: refractory bricks, insulation bricks, aerated concrete blocks, etc.
- **Characteristics**: Requires high-temperature sintering or foaming processes, with high technical requirements for equipment.

In summary: Construction cannot do without various bricks, and brick making cannot do without brick machines. The specific choice of brick machine can be determined based on local conditions: 1. Market positioning: For producing ordinary construction bricks, a vacuum extrusion brick machine can be used, which has high production capacity, multiple raw materials, and a wide market. 2. Process requirements: For self-use building materials or small-scale production, a vibrating molding cement brick machine can be selected, which requires small investment and yields quick results, and can be produced in a family-style. 3. Raw material requirements: For professional processing of industrial waste or construction waste, such as fly ash, an aerated concrete series brick machine can be selected. After screening, construction waste can be used in a vibrating molding brick machine or crushed and mixed with clay for extrusion molding brick machine.
