Fly Ash Bricks (Mechanised Process)

Fly Ash Bricks (Mechanised process)

The Government has implemented regulations to control and regulate the brick kiln industry to address environmental concerns and promote sustainable practices. The main machinery includes a hydraulic fly ash brick press, pan mixers, conveyors, curing racks or steam chambers, pallets, and weighing systems. These machines mix fly ash, sand or stone dust, and cement or lime with water, then press them hydraulically to form bricks, which are cured and dried before dispatch. For a small set up, Semi-automatic units cost from ₹8–10 lakh and above. Raw materials include fly ash, sand/stone dust, cement or lime with gypsum, and water.  The unit needs minimum 2000-3000 sq ft area with 3-phase power connection. The bricks are used in load-bearing and partition walls for housing, commercial, and infrastructure projects, and can be sold to builders, government works, developers, contractors and dealers. The fly ash bricks are eco-friendly, reduce pollution, and also supported by government policies. Fly ash bricks are in high demand because they are cheaper, stronger, and more uniform than red clay bricks, with lower water absorption and faster construction benefits. They are also eco-friendly, reduce pollution and are supported by Government policies.
