Brick and block manufacturing uses compressed air for moulding, demoulding, handling, curing and packaging, in an environment full of dust and abrasive particles. The equipment must be rugged and the air supply reliable across long production runs.
Key applications
- Moulding and pressing machine actuation
- Product handling and stacking robots
- Dust collection and filter cleaning
- Packaging and palletising
- Control and valve actuation
Air quality
Control air must be dry and oil-free for reliable valve and robot operation. Utility air needs drying and filtration, with heavy-duty intake filters to protect the compressor from brick dust and fines.
Specification notes
Choose machines rated for dusty, high-temperature conditions and clean coolers frequently. Provide receiver capacity for the sharp demand of pressing cycles, and consider variable speed to follow the load.
