Fly Ash Bricks Manufacturing Unit

The project involves the manufacturing of fly ash-lime-based bricks as a sustainable alternative to conventional burnt clay bricks. These bricks are produced through an automated process of batching, mixing, and high-pressure hydraulic vibration molding to ensure uniform size, high strength, and lower water absorption.

Manufacturing process

  1. Load raw materials (Fly Ash, Lime, Gypsum, Stone Dust) into the automatic batching plant.
  2. Homogenously blend the materials with water in a twin-shaft mixer.
  3. Transport the mixture to the brick-making machine via conveyor belt.
  4. Perform automatic molding using PLC-controlled hydraulic pressure and vibration for compaction.
  5. Automatically stack the fresh bricks on pallets and move to the drying bay for initial setting.
  6. Cure the bricks for 7 days with water for proper strength, or use steam/mist curing.
  7. Dispatch the finished bricks to the market.

Market

Fly ash bricks are widely used in the construction industry as a superior, cost-effective, and eco-friendly substitute for burnt clay bricks, offering better dimensional accuracy, resistance to salinity, and lower water absorption.
