The working principles of Brick Machine Mould

The working principles of a brick machine mould revolve around shaping raw materials (like clay, concrete, or fly ash) into bricks using a moulding mechanism. The specifics depend on the type of brick machine (manual, semi-automatic, or automatic), but the general principles are consistent across most designs.

Working Principles of a Brick Machine Mould

Material Feeding:

Raw materials (cement, sand, fly ash, clay, etc.) are mixed in the right proportion and fed into a hopper.

In automatic machines, a conveyor or feeder distributes the mix evenly into the mould.

Mould Filling:

The mould cavity (the part that gives the brick its shape) is filled with the material, either manually or by vibration/compression-assisted filling.

Compaction and Shaping:

Vibration and/or Hydraulic Pressure is applied to the filled mould to compact the material and ensure strength and density.

Hydraulic System: Applies high pressure from the top and/or bottom.

Vibrators: Ensure even distribution and remove air voids.

The material takes the shape of the mould and solidifies slightly under pressure.

Demoulding (Ejection):

Once compacted, the upper mould or pressure plate is lifted, and the formed brick is pushed or lifted out of the mould cavity.

In automated systems, a demoulding arm or hydraulic pusher removes the brick onto a pallet or conveyor belt.

Curing (Post-Processing):

Bricks are left to cure for a specified time to gain final strength (often 7–28 days for concrete bricks).

Key Features of a Brick Mould:

Material: Usually made of hardened steel or cast iron for durability.

Design: Can be interlocking, hollow, solid, or custom shapes.

Tolerance: Must be precise for uniform brick size.

Replaceable: Moulds are often detachable and replaceable when worn.
