A block machine is a new type of environmentally friendly material processing equipment. It primarily uses solid waste such as fly ash, construction waste, gravel, and stone powder as raw materials to produce blocks, cement bricks, and other new wall materials. This equipment is divided into hydraulic and mechanical types. Its core function is to press the raw materials into shapes using hydraulic or mechanical vibration molding technology, achieving a solid waste utilization rate of over 90%. Related technologies continue to develop; for example, there are patents for molding equipment specifically designed for autoclaved lightweight aerated concrete (AAC) blocks, aiming to improve molding quality. In addition, there are homogeneous self-insulating block machines specifically developed for the tropical climate of Hainan, and composite self-insulating block machines adapted to the cold and dry climate of Gansu, among other equipment types tailored to specific environments.
The block machine adopts a four-column structure design, facilitating mold replacement. It is equipped with a closed material storage and distribution device and a synchronous vibration system. Through three-cylinder pressurization technology, it achieves uniform force distribution, and combined with a table mold pressing and vibration process, it improves the density and strength of the finished product. The equipment integrates Mitsubishi PLCs and touchscreen controllers from Japan, and some models also use Siemens programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and touchscreen controls from Germany, supporting manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic operation modes. Some models integrate an intelligent equipment cloud service platform, enabling remote maintenance and monitoring. Core technologies include servo vibration systems, forced material feeding technology, frequency conversion control, and high-efficiency hydraulic systems. Typical models have an annual production capacity of up to 80,000 cubic meters of standard blocks or 45 million standard bricks. In terms of design, there are patents focusing on ease of maintenance for the block-making machine's appearance. This equipment is suitable for small to medium-scale building materials production.
