Overview

The QTS5-10 fully automatic hydraulic clay brick machine is a high-output, five-mold, non-fired clay brick production unit. As a core model for medium-scale operations, it excels in production capacity, stability, and cost-effectiveness within the clay interlocking brick equipment sector. Capable of stably molding five standard interlocking clay bricks per cycle, it offers a higher level of automation than conventional two- or four-mold models. It is ideally suited for mass production at small-to-medium brick plants, bulk supply for contractors, and large-scale rural infrastructure projects overseas.

The machine utilizes local red soil, clay, or loam as primary raw materials, requiring only a small amount of cement for the mix.

Model Selection & Usage Recommendations

1. Selection Recommendations: Choose QTS1-10 or QTS2-25 for small-scale, low-volume operations; choose QTS4-10 for medium-volume production; prioritize QTS5-10 for stable, large-scale production (offers high capacity and excellent cost-performance).

2. Raw Material Requirements: Clay must be crushed and screened; stones and hard objects must be strictly prevented from entering the mold to protect the mold and minimize defective products.

3. Process Adjustment: Fine-tune the mix ratio and pressing pressure based on the moisture content of the local soil to ensure the brick bodies are smooth and free of cracks.

4. On-site Curing: The production area must have a hardened, level surface with ample space designated for curing; stack brick bodies in separate zones and allow them to cure for 7–14 days before shipment.

5. Routine Maintenance: Perform daily checks of hydraulic fluid and bolt tightness, clean residual soil from molds, and conduct regular maintenance on the hydraulic system to extend equipment lifespan.

6. Production Recommendations: Implement a continuous two-shift production schedule to maximize the high-output advantages of the five-mold system, thereby boosting overall production volume and economic returns.

Operation

The main unit of the QTS5-10 clay brick machine features a frame welded from thickened steel plates; the structure is heavy and stable, resistant to high pressure and deformation, and capable of supporting continuous two-shift operations. The entire machine is equipped with an intelligent PLC control system that automates the complete operational cycle—including material feeding, vibration compaction, high-pressure holding, and automatic demolding—without the need for repetitive manual intervention.

The machine’s five-mold synchronous molding system ensures balanced pressure and consistent compaction force across all molds, effectively preventing defects such as uneven brick sizes, loose density, or chipped corners. The hydraulic system pressure, vibration frequency, and molding height are all adjustable. Process parameters can be flexibly modified based on regional variations in clay moisture, sand content, and cement ratios, making the machine compatible with diverse soil types found both domestically and overseas.

The molds are constructed from high-hardness alloy steel, offering excellent wear and compression resistance as well as a long service life. They are designed for easy assembly, disassembly, and rapid mold changes; workers can perform mold swaps independently after minimal training, enabling the production of multiple product types on a single machine. The equipment boasts a low overall failure rate and high parts interchangeability, facilitating convenient overseas procurement and simple maintenance. With stable operation and an extremely low repair rate, it is ideal for long-term production and business operations.

Working Principle

The QTS5-10 clay brick machine utilizes a molding process combining high-pressure hydraulic extrusion with vibration-induced compaction; it is a physical, non-firing molding method. First, the raw clay undergoes crushing and screening to remove stones, roots, and hard clumps, ensuring a fine, uniform soil texture. Cement and water are then added according to standard ratios and thoroughly mixed in a forced-action mixer to create a brick-making mixture with consistent moisture distribution.

Configuration

1. Clay Crusher: Breaks down compacted or clumped clay and refines particle size to ensure uniform mixing.

2. Vibrating Screen: Filters out stones, hard debris, and roots to protect the mold and improve the product pass rate.

3. Forced Mixer: Uniformly blends clay, cement, and water, ensuring a consistent mix ratio for every batch.

4. Belt Conveyor: Automates material feeding to enable continuous production and reduce manual labor intensity.

5. QTS5-10 Main Forming Machine: The core unit; performs five-mold material distribution, vibration, high-pressure pressing, and automatic demolding.

6. Independent High-Pressure Hydraulic Station: Supplies stable hydraulic power, ensuring balanced pressure across the five molds and consistent forming quality.

7. PLC Control System: Manages automatic operation, parameter adjustment, fault self-diagnosis, and one-touch start/stop functions.

The entire production line boasts a high level of automation; daily operations require only 2–3 workers for monitoring and material transfer, resulting in low labor costs and high production efficiency.
