QT8‑15C Automatic Brick Making Machine Overseas Production Case

Project Overview

Machine Model: QT8‑15C Automatic Brick Making Machine

Project Location: Zambia, Africa

Production Line Configuration: QT8‑15C main unit, batching and mixing system, aggregate bin, belt conveyor, hydraulic system, PLC control cabinet

Production Mode: Local sand and stone raw materials, open‑air natural curing, continuous mass production

Main Products: Concrete blocks for wall construction. Hollow blocks, solid bricks, pavers and other blocks can be produced according to market demand.

Production Capacity: 8 blocks per mould. Molding cycle approximately 15–20 seconds. Output reaches about 11,500–13,800 blocks within an 8‑hour shift. Actual output may vary depending on raw materials, mould type, worker experience and site management.

Project Position: Localized overseas building material production project. Finished blocks are mainly supplied for residential houses, boundary walls, low‑rise buildings and the regional wall‑block market.

Project Background

This project is located in Zambia, Africa. The local construction market has a steady demand for concrete blocks, especially for residential building, fence construction and low‑rise wall materials. In order to improve production efficiency, reduce labor dependency and achieve reliable supply, the customer selected the QT8‑15C automatic hydraulic block making machine to build a long‑term open‑air block production line.

The production line uses locally available river sand, crushed stone and cement as main raw materials, which helps reduce material transportation cost. After commissioning, the customer can flexibly adjust product types according to local orders, including hollow blocks, solid bricks and paving blocks.

Site Introduction

The site photos show that the QT8‑15C machine is installed in an open‑air production area. The production line layout is compact, with the main machine, feeding mechanism, hydraulic system and electrical control parts arranged clearly. The machine adopts automatic material feeding, vibration compaction and hydraulic pressing to form blocks evenly, which improves block density and production consistency.

Freshly demoulded blocks are transported by workers using trolleys to the open‑air curing yard. The site area is spacious, and blocks are stacked in rows for natural curing. This production method fits the local climate and project conditions, and can also reduce factory building investment.

On‑site workers are mainly responsible for machine inspection, pallet handling, block transportation and stacking. The production line is reasonably configured, ensuring automatic production efficiency while adapting to the open‑air operation conditions often found in overseas projects.

Project Advantages

1. Suitable for Overseas Open‑air Brick Plant Construction

The QT8‑15C production line has a stable structure and can adapt to open‑air brick plant layouts. It reduces the need for complicated factory buildings and heavy civil foundation work. For overseas customers in regions such as Zambia, Africa, this helps control investment cost and shorten the plant setup period.

2. Strong Adaptability to Local Raw Materials

The project can use locally common river sand, crushed stone, stone dust and cement as main raw materials. This reduces long‑distance transportation and special material procurement, helping lower production cost and improve project profitability.

3. High Automation Reduces Labor Intensity

Equipped with automatic feeding, automatic block discharging and hydraulic control system, the machine reduces repeated manual handling compared with traditional small brick machines. It improves production efficiency per working hour and provides more reliable supply capacity for overseas large‑scale brick plants.

4. Capacity Matches Regional Building Material Demand

With a large output per mould, the QT8‑15C can achieve high production volume within an 8‑hour shift. It can meet bulk supply demands for residential construction, fence projects, low‑rise buildings and regional building material markets.

5. Multi‑product Flexibility

The customer can produce different sizes of blocks by changing moulds. The machine is not limited to hollow blocks, and can also produce solid bricks, paving blocks, slope protection blocks and other products. This makes the project more adaptable to local market changes and improves order receiving capability.

Customer Feedback

The customer reported that after the QT8‑15C machine was put into operation, the production line ran stably, block forming efficiency improved obviously, and the workflow of block handling and curing became smoother. The machine can adapt to local raw materials and open‑air production conditions, meeting the continuous demand for wall materials in the local construction market.

The customer considers the QT8‑15C suitable for building small‑to‑medium scale brick plants in Africa, especially for overseas building material projects that require high capacity, reasonable investment and strong site adaptability.
