The Effect of Modernizing the Brick Production Line on the Finished Product Price
The effects of modernizing the brick production line can be divided into three parts:
- Waste reduction: High waste is one of the parameters of most brick production units. Waste management in this industry is very poor, despite its importance. For example, with a 10% reduction in waste, production profits increase by 30%.
Waste reduction methods:
- Choosing the right soil and the right digging method: In most cases, the experience of the industry’s owners is invaluable. Failure to do so will usually lead to increased waste.
- Choosing the right Forming and Processing Machines: There is usually a downside to this, and some manufacturers choose Undocumented machinery, which results in a trial and error for most factories.
- Appropriate dryer: Dryer is one of the most effective parts of waste production. Downscale soil with a bad production process has a very low waste in modern dryers and conversely. high-quality soil with a good production process in the old dryers has a lot of waste.
We Believe
According to Borna Gostar’s research, on average, by reducing waste in brick production units by modernizing the brick production line, the cost of brick can be reduced between 5 to 10 percent.
- Reduce energy consumption: Consider a factory with conventional chamber dryer and Huffman kiln. By spending on upgrading to a factory with a fast dryer or semi-fast dryer and a modern tunnel kiln, the gas consumption for this plant is halved.
According to Borna Gostar’s research, the average brick price can be reduced between 20 to 30 percent by a modern dryer and tunnel kiln in brick manufacturing units.
- Automation of the Lines: One of the things that, is quite obvious but not noticed is the automation of the production line. Automation of the production line requires requirements such as having very low waste. Have a modern dryer and tunnel kiln (items 1 and 2). The effect of automating the production line on reducing the finished price is not less than the above items. But it may be one-tenth of the costs mentioned in items 1 and 2.
According to Borna Gostar’s research, on average, if the brick production line is fully automated. The finished price can be reduced from 15 to 20 percent.
