FLY ASH BRICKS MACHINE BRICK MOVING MACHINERY FULLY AUTOMATIC BRICK LOADING AND UNLOADING SYSTEM
Process Description of the Automated Loading and Unloading System
After extrusion, wet green bricks are continuously conveyed via roller table to the drying loading station. They are stacked in staggered layers according to drying process requirements, with precisely reserved ventilation gaps. Once a full rack is loaded, a transfer car moves the drying rack into the drying kiln for constant-temperature dehydration.
After drying, the transfer mechanism moves the drying rack to the unloading station, where a robotic system sequentially grips the dried bricks in layers and conveys them to the kiln car palletizing stage. Empty drying racks are automatically returned to the loading station via a return track for reuse.
The entire system integrates forming, drying, and firing processes in a fully linked production line, supporting flexible switching among standard bricks, perforated bricks, hollow blocks, and other product types, with 24/7 continuous operation. The equipment is equipped with position correction, pressure buffering, and fault alarm modules.
Gripping force and stacking gaps can be adjusted via a touchscreen with one touch, effectively reducing edge damage to wet bricks. The system automatically detects rack position and remaining capacity, and provides real-time alerts for material jams, rack jams, or brick shortages, enabling a closed-loop drying rack circulation that precisely matches the production rhythm of upstream and downstream stages. It is ideal for large and medium-sized sintered brick production lines requiring high-volume, continuous operation.
Precautions for the Loading and Unloading System
Loading System
- Adjust gripping force according to the moisture content of wet bricks - excessive pressure may damage brick edges and corners.
- Strictly control ventilation gaps between layers; insufficient gaps lead to uneven drying and cracking.
- Before loading, inspect drying racks for deformation or burrs, and ensure racks are centered in position.
Unloading System
- Confirm bricks are fully dried before unloading - gripping wet or soft bricks may cause breakage.
- Remove bricks layer by layer from top to bottom; do not skip layers to avoid stack collapse.
- Regularly clean brick debris from the return track to prevent drying rack jams and stoppages.
Importance of the Loading and Unloading System in the Drying Process
The loading and unloading system is the key automated closed-loop equipment for the drying stage. Manual loading and unloading often result in disordered stacking and uneven ventilation gaps, leading to inconsistent brick moisture, cracking, and color variation.
Automated equipment ensures standardized stacking and stable hot-air circulation, significantly improving drying yield. The system operates around the clock, seamlessly bridging the forming supply and kiln car palletizing stages, preventing production line interruptions, making full use of drying kiln heat, and reducing energy consumption.
It also replaces heavy, dusty, high-temperature manual labor, lowering labor costs and safety risks. The automatic circulation of drying racks maximizes the use of internal kiln space, increases the total batch capacity per load, and boosts overall production line throughput, ensuring the drying stage runs continuously and efficiently.
