Optimization Suggestions: How to Increase Production by Controlling Humidity and Particle Size
Humidity Control:
Equip an online moisture content meter to monitor raw material moisture in real time. Use automatic water addition or drying devices to maintain a stable humidity level of 8%-12%.
Cover raw materials with rainproof cloth when stacking to prevent a sudden increase in moisture content during the rainy season. Pre-wet the raw materials during winter drying to prevent them from over-drying.
Particle Grading Optimization:
Use screening equipment (such as a vibrating screen) to control the maximum particle size of the coarse aggregate (≤ 1/3 of the minimum mold wall thickness) and ensure a consistent particle size distribution (e.g., mixing 5-10mm and 10-20mm gravel with fine sand).
If the fine powder ratio is too high, add appropriate amounts of coarse sand or crushed stone to adjust the gradation and improve air permeability and flowability. Upgrading the pretreatment process:
Adding a raw material mixing and homogenization step, using a twin-shaft mixer to mix the raw materials ensures uniform moisture and particle distribution, reducing material distribution deviations;
Pre-drying high-moisture raw materials (e.g., using a drum dryer) and applying a mist spray to over-dried raw materials reduces equipment operational disturbances at the source.
Summary
Raw material moisture and particle size directly determine the actual production capacity of brickmaking machines by affecting material distribution efficiency, molding cycle time, scrap rate, and downtime. Properly controlling moisture (8%-12%) and optimizing particle size distribution (continuous grading, particle size matching the mold) can minimize equipment adjustments and downtime, keeping production close to the theoretical value. Conversely, uncontrolled production can significantly reduce production and even cause equipment failure. Therefore, brick factories should consider raw material pretreatment (humidity control and screening) as a core step in improving production, rather than relying solely on equipment performance.
