Fly Ash Brick Machine

What is a Fly Ash Brick?

Fly ash is collected as a waste material normally from thermal power plants, which is then mixed with lime, gypsum, stone dust, and sand for making fly ash bricks.

Fly ash bricks serve as a good building block for any construction site. Fly ash manufacturing is cost-effective as compared to clay bricks.

Fly ash brick making machines utilize fly ash which is a waste material. Instead of dumping fly ash as waste, it can be utilized in brick production.

The use of fly ash in brick making is a good choice to make use of a waste that thermal power plants produce.

Fly ash bricks are lightweight with high strength and low heat absorption. These bricks require low mortar during construction due to their uniform size.

You don’t need to soak these bricks in water before using them.

Fly ash bricks are a good candidate for building construction due to their characteristics, cost-saving, and environmental friendliness.

What types of Fly Ash Bricks are manufactured?

Fly ash bricks are classified into three types according to their curing process.

• Steam Cured Fly Ash Bricks:

Autoclaved fly ash bricks are manufactured by using fly ash and quicklime as a major raw material. After mixing the raw materials and molding bricks, bricks are then steam cured under normal or high pressure to form good quality bricks.

With this process fly ash bricks are formed with a freeze resistance of 15 freeze-thaw cycles with a compressive strength of 15-20 MPa.

• Naturally Cured Fly Ash Bricks:

With this natural curing process, steam-free and burn-free fly ash bricks are made. Cement is the main constituent in raw material with fly ash, slag, stone powder, sand, and gravel in proportions.

LONTTO’s QT, LMT, and manual fly ash brick making machines are used to manufacture these fly ash bricks with compressive strength of 15 MPa. For low-investment brick production businesses, LONTTO offers a wide range of fly ash brick-making machines to choose from.

• Kiln Cured Clay Fly Ash Bricks:

Fly ash is mixed with slag and clay as the main components in raw material. A mixer mixes the raw materials and extruded by a vacuum brick machine. The material is then dried and burned at high temperatures for fly ash brick formation.

How Fly Ash bricks are different from clay bricks?

Many brick-making businesses are moving from clay bricks manufacturing to fly ash brick manufacturing due to the increasing demand and good feasibility.

Fly ash bricks are different from clay bricks due to the different raw materials and curing processes.

Fly ash bricks are manufactured by consuming low energy, using thermal plant wastage, and at a lower cost.

On the other hand, clay bricks require a lot of soil and a brick kiln for curing at high temperatures. All that process is expensive and adds pollution to the environment.

Fly ash bricks have a strength of 100-200 Kg/Cm² as compared to clay bricks that have 100-150 Kg/Cm².

Fly ash bricks are produced with a uniform shape and size requiring low mortar while construction. On the other hand, clay bricks tend to be irregular and non-uniform.

Fly ash bricks have low water absorption (8-14%) levels while clay bricks have 15-17%.

When we talk about material wastage while production, fly ash bricks have a wastage percentage of around 3-4% as compared to 8-10% for clay bricks.

What are the advantages of Fly Ash Bricks?

Cost is the crucial metric for every brick-making business. Fly ash bricks manufacturing is a low-cost process as these bricks cost at least 20% less than clay bricks/blocks and nearly 10% less than concrete blocks.

Fly ash bricks have high compressive strength (9-10N/mm²) as compared to clay bricks as these are less porous and have low absorption of water.

Fly ash bricks have a low thermal conductivity which makes these bricks a suitable candidate for areas with hot climates.

Fly ash bricks are more fire-resistant than ordinary clay bricks/blocks.

Fly ash bricks are sustainable building blocks as these bricks are used in the construction of high-rise buildings, homes, factories/warehouses, and power plants.

What is a Fly Ash Brick-making machine?

Fly ash brick-making machine is a piece of engineered equipment used in the production of fly ash bricks.

LONTTO manufactures a whole range of fly ash brick-making machines. Different models of these brick-making machines are targeted towards different customers.

Fly ash brick-making machines are classified into three main types; manual machines, semi-automatic, and fully automatic production lines.

You can choose the right product within your budget and fly ash brick production needs.

Fly ash brick making machines are built to withstand large production cycles to meet the growing demand for fly ash bricks.

The raw material is fed into the machine, it is then mixed and molded into the type of fly ash brick you require.

High power hydraulics and vibration mechanisms built into these machines help form the good quality brick.

Automatic Fly ash brick-making machines let you save labor cost, production cost, and save raw material waste as all the processes are autonomous.

PLC control lets you interact with the machine interface and automate certain processes and control them as you manufacture bricks.

If you are looking for a fly ash brick-making machine, you can contact us for guidance and a price quote.

What is the raw material proportion for Fly Ash Bricks?

In the case of steam cured fly ash bricks, fly ash 62%, sand 25%, lime 8%, and gypsum 5% are used in said proportions for a good quality of fly ash bricks.

For naturally cured fly ash bricks, cement is used instead of lime and gypsum, and the raw materials are used in portions as; fly ash 50-60%, cement 8-12%, and stone dust or river sand 30-40%.

For clay fly ash burned bricks, use fly ash 52%, clay 40%, and slag 8%. Raw material mixing varies on what type of fly ash bricks you need for your construction site or your customers.

What is the manufacturing process for Fly Ash Bricks?

Fly Ash brick machines are used nowadays for fly ash brick production. Construction in any era is a never-ending process. So, fly ash bricks are needed to meet the market demand.

Fly ash brick-making machines produce good quality bricks. The process of manufacturing is almost the same with all machines but the operation differs as each machine works differently.

First of all, a mixture of raw materials is blended in a pan mixer. After the mixer seems homogeneous, water is added to make it suitable for the next process. After the mixture is created, it is then pressed and molded to form bricks.

The process is the same with small variations. Manual machine models require more manpower in the production process while automatic machines require little input as most of the processes are automated.

What is the cost of a Fly Ash Brick-making machine?

When it comes to the cost of fly ash brick-making machines, some factors affect the price. Fly ash brick machines come in different sizes, modes of operation, and production capacity.

Fly ash brick machines are manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic. Manual machines use manpower completely to operate.

Semi-automatic fly ash brick machines reduce human input that’s required to function. Lastly, fully automatic machines require little human input to operate autonomously.

The cost of a fly ash brick machine is directly proportional to the features and functions it offers.

More autonomous functionality comes at a higher price. Manual machines have low production rates but these models cost low as well for low investment businesses.

With semi-automatic machines, you get more functionality for a bit more price. So, the fully automatic production line level fly ash brick-making machines are the ones that cost the most due to the ease of operation and high production capacity.

The more expensive the machine, the more profit margins it offers for your business.
