When we talk about the hollow block making machine there are some different pictures and ideas of this machine in people’s heads so we need to specify what we exactly mean by it. A hollow block machine is a machine that produces hollow blocks using pressure and vibration to compress the concrete mortar into the molds and form the concrete blocks.
In modern construction practices, bricks are categorized according to materials used to form them and the method of production. Under this classification, there are five common types:
- Burnt clay bricks
- Sand-lime bricks
- Concrete bricks
- Flyash clay bricks
- Fire bricks
This article is about concrete Hollow block making machines so first concrete brick is defined, then we will move to the machine.
Hollow Block Making Machine Mortar Type
The basic mixture of the mortar is a 4-to-1 or 5-to-1 mixture. It means for every five units of sand you need to add one unit of cement and then you should add water until you achieve the texture you want for your machine.
To produce a mixture that can be used in a cement brick machine you generally want a thick, creamy mixture that will stick but also endure the blocks’ weight.
