How to Produce Concrete Bricks Using the QT4-15 Fully Automatic Hydraulic Brick Making Machine
The QT4-15 fully automatic brick making machine is a hydraulically driven automated device designed for producing concrete bricks, hollow bricks, perforated bricks, paving bricks, curbstones, and similar products. It employs a PLC control system to ensure efficient production. Below are detailed operational steps based on the manufacturer's guidelines. Please note: Actual operation should refer to the manual supplied with the equipment, and installation and training must be conducted by qualified personnel.
Machine Overview
The QT4-15 brick machine operates through a hydraulic system, vibration mechanism, and automated processes. Key components include a mixer, main unit, stacker, hydraulic station, PLC control cabinet, and pallet system. It supports mold replacement for producing bricks of various specifications.
Preparation
1. Raw Material Preparation: Gather cement, sand, gravel (aggregate), and water. Typical ratio: 1 part cement : 3 parts sand : 4 parts gravel.
2. Machine Inspection and Setup: Inspect the machine for damage, especially hydraulic components and electrical connections. Lubricate all moving parts. Set parameters via the control panel, such as production speed, brick dimensions, and thickness. Select the appropriate mold.
Operating Steps
1. Machine Startup: Turn on power, press start button. Ensure feed hopper is loaded, pallet is positioned beneath machine, and PLC system is at initial position.
2. Feeding and Mixing: Use cart to deliver raw materials in specified proportions to the JQ500 mixer.
3. Pressing and Molding: Move feed hopper above mold and evenly distribute concrete. Activate hydraulic system; hydraulic cylinders apply pressure to compress material. Simultaneously activate the vibration motor; hydraulic pressure and the vibrating box work together to ensure consistent brick density.
4. Palletizing: Use the palletizer to stack the produced wet bricks.
5. Curing: Transport the pallet to the curing zone for natural drying or controlled curing.
Maintenance Notes
Daily Cleaning: After production, clean the molds and hoppers to prevent residual material buildup.
Regular Lubrication: Lubricate hydraulic and moving components weekly; replace hydraulic fluid every six months.
Inspections: Periodically check wiring, control panels, and components to avoid overload operation. Store in a dry location.
Professional Maintenance: Consult technicians for thorough inspections.
Safety Precautions
Wear Protective Gear: Gloves, safety glasses, and steel-toed boots.
Shut Off Power and Lock Out Equipment During Maintenance.
Train operators on emergency stop functions and keep clear of moving parts.
Maintain a clean work area free of tripping hazards.
For specific parameters or video guidance, consult the manufacturer or refer to the official manual.
