The service life of a 9-15C brick press (typically referring to a hydraulic unfired brick press with a nominal pressure of 900kN-1500kN, belonging to the category of small and medium-sized unfired brick presses, commonly used in small and medium-sized brick factories to produce standard bricks and hollow bricks) is not a fixed value. It is mainly affected by four core factors: equipment quality, operation and maintenance, operating conditions, and raw material characteristics. The generally accepted service life in the industry is 8-15 years. Some properly maintained and stable equipment can extend to over 18 years. However, improperly used or low-quality equipment may experience serious failure within 5 years. I. Core Influencing Factors: Key Variables Determining Service Life
1. Equipment Quality and Manufacturing Process (Basic Factors)
The quality of the core components of a 9-15C brick machine directly determines its "innate lifespan." Differences are primarily reflected in:
Core Structural Materials:
High-quality equipment uses Q355B high-strength steel for its frame (a key component that withstands the forming pressure) and undergoes an aging treatment to eliminate internal stresses, providing enhanced resistance to deformation and fatigue. Low-quality equipment, on the other hand, may use standard Q235 steel. Long-term exposure to high pressure (900-1500 kN) can lead to frame cracking and deformation, directly shortening its service life.
Hydraulic System Configuration:
The hydraulic system is the "heart" of a 9-15C brick machine. High-quality equipment features reputable hydraulic components (such as Bosch, Eaton, or high-quality domestic brands). The cylinder's inner wall is precision-honed, and the seals are made of imported, high-pressure, and wear-resistant fluororubber, preventing oil leakage and wear. Low-quality equipment uses cheap hydraulic components, which can cause cylinder leakage and insufficient pressure within one to two years, requiring frequent repairs or even replacement. Vibration System Design:
9-15C brick machines often rely on a combination of vibration and hydraulics for forming. High-quality equipment uses a vibration shaft made of quenched and tempered 40Cr alloy steel, high-speed, wear-resistant bearings, and a shock-absorbing structure (such as polyurethane damping blocks) between the vibration table and the frame to reduce vibration impact on the machine. Low-quality equipment uses vibrating components made of poor quality materials and lacks proper vibration damping. Long-term use can easily lead to abnormal noise and breakage in the vibration system, shortening the life of the entire machine.
