Customer Demand Analysis
During the initial communication, the Spanish customer put forward three core requirements:
- Solve labor problems: They hoped to introduce hydraulic brick making machine to reduce the number of workers to 2–3 people.
- Improve brick quality: The pressing force of the original equipment was unstable, resulting in uneven brick strength. The customer needed a machine that could stably produce high-density bricks.
- Adapt to multiple orders: The customer undertakes both residential hollow brick and municipal paving brick orders, requiring the machine to quickly change molds to produce products of different specifications.
Why Choose YG Auto Bricks Machine
After comparing many suppliers, the customer finally chose YG, mainly for the following reasons:
- Pure hydraulic forming technology: Our hydraulic brick making machine adopts a large-tonnage hydraulic system with uniform and stable pressing force, ensuring consistent density of each brick. Compared with vibration forming, hydraulic forming is more suitable for the hard aggregate commonly used in Spain.
- Reasonable automatic brick machine price: With the same configuration, YG’s quotation is 30%–40% lower than European local brands, and we provide complete installation and commissioning services. After cost calculation, the customer confirmed that the investment payback period of YG’s equipment is shorter.
- Fast mold change design: The customer needs to produce three products: hollow blocks, standard bricks and paving bricks. YG equipment is equipped with a fast mold change system, which can complete mold replacement in a short time and greatly reduce downtime.
Practical Application of Auto Bricks Machine
After the equipment arrived in Spain, YG sent engineers to complete installation and commissioning on site, and provided operation training for local workers. At present, this auto bricks machine has been running stably for more than 6 months, mainly used in the following scenarios:
- Hollow block production for residential projects: Supplying hollow blocks to local developers with a stable daily output of more than 10,000 pieces, meeting the filling wall needs of two apartment buildings under construction.
- Supply of municipal sidewalk bricks: Using paving brick molds to produce permeable bricks, with better surface flatness than traditional local equipment.
- Rural self-built standard bricks: Producing standard bricks with a single-shift output of up to 50,000 pieces. The customer commented: “I have never seen such a fast brick output speed.”
Customer Feedback
Half a year after the equipment started operation, Javier, the factory director of the customer, gave real feedback:
“Introducing YG’s auto bricks machine is a good investment for us. What impresses me most is the effect of hydraulic forming — with the previous vibration equipment, the brick surface was easy to delaminate when meeting hard aggregate, and now this problem is completely solved.”
Regarding after-sales service, Javier added: “YG’s engineers were very careful during installation and taught all operation key points to our workers. During a recent remote guidance for mold replacement, they explained step by step via video. This kind of support was beyond our expectation.”
Suitable Users for Automatic Brick Making Equipment
Based on the successful experience of this Spanish case, the YG auto bricks machine is especially suitable for the following types of customers:
- Mature brick factories facing labor shortages: Hoping to replace labor with automation and reduce dependence on skilled workers.
- Medium-sized manufacturers undertaking multiple orders: Needing one machine for multiple uses to flexibly switch production of hollow bricks, standard bricks, paving bricks, etc.
- Enterprises pursuing long-term returns: Although automatic brick machine price is higher than semi-automatic equipment, the investment payback period is usually within 12–18 months after comprehensive calculation of labor, quality and output.
