  Block Making Machine Details

  For producing good quality hollow blocks, you need to purchase any kind of high-quality concrete hollow blocks making machine. 

What equipment will be needed for the production of hollow blocks :

  • Hollow block making machine
  • Concrete mixers
  • Aggregate hopper for raw materials such as cement, sand, water, and additives
  • Conveyor belts for transferring the materials into the mixer
  • concrete block mold
  • supplying raw materials, water, and cement

Production Process Of Concrete Hollow Blocks

The production process of concrete hollow blocks consists of three main stages:

  • Mixture Preparation: In this initial stage, different raw materials are combined and mixed in a concrete mixer to create mortar. The mixer blends the ingredients thoroughly to ensure a homogeneous mixture.
  • Block Production: The second stage involves the actual production of the blocks. This is achieved using either semi-automatic or automatic concrete hollow block machines. These machines are capable of efficiently shaping and forming the blocks according to the desired specifications.
  • Curing and Storage: The final stage entails curing and storing the produced blocks. Once the concrete hollow blocks are ready, they are transferred to a designated area for the curing process. After curing, the blocks are then stored until they are ready to be transported or used in construction projects.

After thoroughly mixing the mixture, it is important to pour it into the machine and activate the vibration and pressure. This ensures that the mixture is evenly distributed within the molds. As the concrete shrinks, additional portions of the mixture should be added until the molds are completely filled. Once the concrete has sufficiently shrunk, the molds can be removed, leaving the finished blocks on the pallet or a suitable surface. At this stage, a new batch of mixture can be poured in the molds.

Drying the blocks needs to be given a separate time: the first 24 hours the blocks dry as they were left after the machine. During drying, they sometimes need to be moistened with water, like any concrete product. After a day, the blocks are turned on their side and dried for another 24 hours. After 2 days, they can be stacked on pallets. further details are provided in brick making machine article. also, the prices of the machine are included.

Curing the blocks requires a separate period of time. Initially, the blocks are left to dry for the first 24 hours in the same position as they were left after the molding process. During the curing period, it may be necessary to occasionally moisten the blocks with water, as is common for concrete products. After one day, the blocks are collected from the pallets and dried for an additional 24 hours. After a total of two days, the blocks can be stacked or sold. More detailed information can be found in the brick making machine article, including pricing details.

hollow block making business plan philippines

Shelter is one of the three basic needs of man along with food and clothing. The prehistoric man lived in caves, and later, he began constructing walls from the mud. In due course of time, many techniques for the masonry were developed and it became a structural part of the shelter. In early days, burnt brick masonry and stone masonry were popular. Now, with growing demand for construction, cheaper and faster techniques and materials are the need of the hour.

Concrete blocks are one such construction materials which help in achieving cheaper as well as faster construction than conventional bricks. The concrete blocks are available in two variations. 1) Solid concrete blocks and, 2) Hollow concrete blocks.In this article we are discussing both the varieties, yet, latter in more detail. The article deals with what hollow concrete blocks are, their pros and cons, properties and various types.

Concrete blocks are rectangular concrete masonry units either, solid (other than units used for bonding, such as a half-block) or hollow (open or closed cavity). Concrete blocks come in modular sizes and vary by country. Yet, their size and mass will be such that one can handle them easily. Moreover, to avoid confusion with slabs and panels, the height of the blocks should not exceed either its length or six times its width.

Two Major Types of Concrete Blocks or Concrete Masonry Unit

As mentioned above there are two major types of concrete blocks,

01.  Solid Concrete Blocks

02. Hollow Concrete Blocks

01. solid concrete blocks.

Solid concrete blocks are made from  aggregate , Portland cement and sand. These blocks have a solid material, not less than 75% of the total volume of the block calculated from the overall dimensions. Hence, they are heavy in weight. These blocks provide good stability to the structure. So, these blocks are used for a large work of masonry. They are used in the load-bearing walls as well as the non-load bearing walls. Solid blocks are available in large sizes as compared to the conventional bricks. Therefore, less time is required to construct concrete block masonry than brick masonry.

They are the standard sized rectangular hollow blocks made of cast concrete of high or low density. For high-density blocks,  Portland cement  and aggregate, usually sand and fine gravel are used as a raw material. For low density blocks, industrial wastes, such as  fly ash  or bottom ash are used as the primary raw materials and are often called cinder blocks /breeze blocks in different parts of the world.

As per the definition given in the  ‘Indian Standard – IS 2185 (Part-1) 2005’ , hollow concrete blocks are having one or more large holes or cavities which either pass through the block (open cavity) or do not effectively pass through the block (closed cavity) and having the solid material between 50 and 75% of the total volume of the block calculated from the overall dimensions. These holes or cavities reduce the total cross-sectional area of the block and hence the weight of block structure as a whole.

Hollow concrete blocks are more commonly used in masonry construction. It accelerates the construction process, saves cement and steel and reduces the work expenses at the construction site. These blocks lower the natural weight of masonry constructions and improve the physical properties of walls, such as noise and thermal insulation. They also provide facilities for concealing  electrical conduit , water and soil pipes.

Size of hollow concrete blocks.

Standard hollow concrete blocks are available in full size as well as half size. Full-sized blocks are rectangular and have two cores while half-sized blocks are cubical and contain one core.

According to the ‘ Research Designs & Standards Organization of Indian Railways ’ the nominal dimensions of concrete block are as follows:

  • Length: 400, 500 or 600 mm
  • Height: 200 or 100 mm
  • Width: 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250 or 300 mm

Classification of Concrete Blocks

As per ‘Indian Standard – IS 2185 (Part-1) 2005’ classification of concrete blocks is given as below

 01. Hollow (Open and Closed Cavity) Concrete Block

The hollow (open and closed cavity) concrete blocks are defined in followings grades:

  • Grade-A type of blocks is used as load-bearing units and have a minimum block density of 1500 kg/m 3 . Grade-A type of blocks are manufactured for minimum average compressive strengths of 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 7.0, 8, 5, 10.0, 12.5 and 15.0N/mm 2  at 28 days.
  • Grade-B type of blocks is also used as load-bearing units and have a block density between 1100kg/m 3  and 1500kg/m 3 . Grade-B type of blocks are manufactured for minimum average compressive strengths of 3.5 and 5.0N/mm 2  at 28 days.

 02. Solid Concrete Block

  • The solid concrete blocks are used as load-bearing units and have a block density not less than 1800kg/m 3 . Grade-C type of blocks are manufactured for minimum average compressive strength of 4.0 and 5.0N/mm 2 .

Properties of Hollow Concrete Blocks

05. Density:

  • For Grade A: 1500 kg/m 3
  • For Grade-B: 1100 kg/m 3  to 1500 kg/m 3

Uses of Hollow Concrete Blocks

Hollow concrete blocks are used in all type of masonry construction such as,

  • Exterior load-bearing walls
  • Interior load-bearing walls
  • Curtain walls
  • Partition wall and panel walls
  • Backing from brick, stone, and other facing
  • Fireproofing over a structural member
  • Fire-safe walls around stairwells, elevators
  • Piers, column and retaining walls etc.
  • Boundary fences

Advantages of Hollow Concrete Block Masonry

According to the research by  ‘ Chaure, A. P., Shinde P. A. et al .’ followings are the advantages of hollow concrete blocks,

01.  Hollow concrete block masonry is the easier and faster construction practice as compared to any other masonry practices.

02.  Hollow concrete block masonry reduces the cost of construction labour and construction materials because the use of a larger size of concrete block reduces the number of joints in work.

03.  Semi-skilled or unskilled labour can also work in this type of construction.

04.  These concrete blocks need low maintenance and are durable.

05.  They are eco-friendly materials as industrial wastes, such as  fly ash  or bottom ash are used as raw materials.

06.  Reinforcing the hollow block masonry is possible as there is no additional formwork or any construction machinery required.

07.  Hollow concrete block masonry is highly durable as the concrete is compacted by high pressure and vibration, which gives substantial strength to the block. Adequate curing increases the compressive strength of the blocks.

08.  As the hollow concrete blocks are light in weight, they reduce the weight of the structure and hence light structural member or less percentage of steel is required for a given R.C.C building.

09.  Presence of rough texture on concrete blocks provides good bonding between  cement mortar  and concrete blocks.

10.  It is possible to construct a thin wall by using hollow blocks. Therefore, it helps to save space and increase the floor area or carpet area, i.e. carpet area efficiency is better.

11.  In the hollow blocks, the voids or cores can be filled with steel bars and concrete for achieving high seismic resistance.

12.  Hollow concrete blocks have good insulating properties against sound, heat and dampness.

13.  These blocks have low water absorption than conventional bricks. If you want to know how to measure water absorption in bricks then read the  water absorption test of bricks .

14.  Hollow concrete block can safely resist the atmospheric action. This block doesn’t require protecting covering.

15. It has good fire resistance.

Disadvantages of Hollow Concrete Block

01. The cost of hollow concrete blocks is higher than the conventional bricks

02. The house built with hollow blocks without any interior reinforcement is likely to suffer damage during earthquakes.

Different Types of Hollow Concrete Blocks

Hollow concrete blocks are available in different types according to their shape, needs and design such as,

01.  Concrete Stretcher Blocks

02.  Lintel Blocks

03.  Partition Concrete Blocks

04.  Concrete Pillar Blocks

05.  Corner Concrete Blocks

06.  Jamb Concrete Blocks

07.  Bullnose Concrete Block

08.  Frogged Brick Blocks

Let us discuss each one of these types in detail.

01. Concrete Stretcher Blocks

Concrete stretcher blocks are most commonly used hollow concrete blocks in construction . These blocks are used to join the corner of masonry units. Stretcher blocks are placed with their length parallel to the face of the wall.

02. Lintel Blocks

Lintel blocks are also called channeled blocks or beam blocks; they are a U-shaped concrete masonry unit. These blocks have a deep groove along the length of the block. After placing the blocks, these grooves are filled with concrete along with reinforcement. Lintel blocks are used for the provision of the beam or lintel beam. Lintel beam is generally provided on the top of the portion of doors and windows, which transfers the load coming from the top.

03. partition concrete blocks.

Partition concrete blocks are an ideal choice for the construction of  partition walls . The hollow part of these blocks is divided into two or three components, and the height of the partition block is larger than its breadth.

04. Concrete Pillar Blocks

Concrete pillar blocks are also known as double corner block as both of its corners are plain. Thus, they are mostly used when two ends of the corner are visible. As the name suggests, , concrete pillar blocks are widely used in pillars or piers.

05. Concrete Corner Blocks

Concrete corner blocks are used at the corners of the masonry or at the end of window or at door opening. As shown in the image, one corner of the block is plain while the other is stretcher design. These blocks are arranged in such a manner that the plane end of block is exposed to the outside and another end is locked with the stretcher block.

06. Jamb Concrete Blocks

Jamb concrete blocks are used when there is an elaborated window opening in the wall. They are connected to stretcher and corner of the blocks. For the provision of double hung window, jamb concrete blocks are beneficial to provide space for the casing member of window.

07. Bullnose Concrete Blocks

Bullnose concrete blocks are similar to corner blocks in structure and function. But especially when we want rounded edges at the corner, these blocks are chosen.

08. Frogged Brick Blocks

Like the frogged brick, these frogged brick blocks having a frog on its top along with header and stretcher. This frog will help the blocks to hold mortar and develop a strong bond with the top lying block.

Summing up,  hollow concrete blocks or hollow concrete masonry units are more beneficial building material than conventional bricks. They speed up the construction practice and reduces the overall construction time. The hollow blocks are also cheaper and are available in various sizes and shapes. With all these benefits, they are durable as well. Thus, they have become the preferred material for today’s buildings.

Understand Concrete Hollow Blocks from Six Aspects

Concrete hollow blocks is a new type of green building material, and it is also the main wall material commonly used in the construction industry. It has the characteristics of light weight, sound insulation, heat preservation, impermeability, durability, no pollution, energy saving and environmental protection. Concrete hollow blocks are widely used in construction, roads, squares, gardens and other constructions.

Hollow blocks are called hollow blocks because of the large proportion of the hole rate in the overall area of hollow bricks. Now there are many types of hollow blocks on the market, mainly cement hollow blocks, clay hollow blocks, shale hollow blocks, etc. In addition, hollow blocks also have many different shapes and sizes for customers to choose, just need to customize different molds.

wide application of hollow blocks

Why Philippines uses hollow blocks?

Reduce the total weight of bricks

The porosity of hollow bricks (that is, the percentage of the hole area in the entire brick area) is generally 15% or more. These holes correspondingly reduce the overall weight of the entire brick. However, due to non-solid reasons, the bearing capacity of hollow bricks is not so good, so it is not recommended to use hollow bricks as load-bearing structures.

Convenient transportation and easy construction

Compared with solid bricks, hollow bricks are lighter in weight, which makes transportation more convenient. In addition, the size and shape of hollow bricks are uniform and easy to construct. Even unskilled workers can easily use hollow bricks.

advantages of hollow blocks

Thermal insulation, sound insulation and noise reduction

Due to the unique hollow shape, concrete hollow blocks have very good thermal insulation, sound insulation and noise reduction effects. The hole in the middle will not make the sound insulation effect of the indoor wall worse, but will have a very good sound insulation effect due to the flow of air and air pressure.

Cheap price and economical

The raw materials of hollow blocks are widely sourced and relatively cheap, so compared with other decorative materials, the finished hollow blocks price is also cheaper and the economic benefit is high.

Concrete hollow blocks are mainly formed by high pressure and vibration compaction, making the bricks very strong and durable.

Environmentally friendly

Now the hollow blocks can also be called non-burning bricks. Compared with traditional fired bricks, hollow bricks reduce pollution and are very environmentally friendly.

Raw materials of hollow blocks

The raw materials of hollow bricks are very wide. Whether it is fly ash, cement, stone powder, sand, or slag, slag, coal gangue, it can be used as its raw material. As long as you can find one or two of these raw materials, you can produce hollow bricks.

raw materials of hollow blocks

Moreover, using these raw materials, you can not only produce hollow bricks, but also interlocking bricks, lawn bricks, curbstones, permeable bricks, pavement bricks, etc. The finished bricks have the characteristics of good quality, low cost and not easy to weather.

Compared with the traditional bricks made of clay, the raw materials of hollow blocks are not only easy to obtain, but also cheap. This greatly reduces the production cost of customers and also protects land resources.

Standard size of hollow blocks philippines

There are many sizes of hollow blocks in the Philippines. But the standard sizes of hollow blocks are 4 inches, 5 inches, 6 inches and 8 inches. The details are as follows.

standard size of hollow blocks

Of course, in addition to standard bricks, if you have special needs, the manufacturer can usually customize the mold according to your needs. You just need to tell your needs to your manufacturer before you buy the brick machine, and there will be professional engineers to customize the plan for you.

Concrete hollow block making machine philippines

Concrete hollow block making machine can also be called non-burning brick machine. It is mainly formed by hydraulic pressure and does not need to be fired, so it is called a non-burning brick machine. The brick block machine not only reduces the pollution caused by firing bricks, but also improves the production efficiency and meets the needs of large-scale production.

According to the different operation modes, concrete hollow brick making machines can be divided into fully automatic type and semi-automatic type.

The automatic hollow block machine mainly controls the entire production process through the PLC control system. Only two to three workers are needed to operate the entire machine. It is mainly suitable for large brick business, which not only has high production efficiency and stable operation, but also reduces labor costs.

The semi-automatic hollow block machine is mainly controlled by the control panel. It has a low investment cost and is suitable for small and medium-sized brick factories. Because the operation is simple, customers can get started quickly. When you want to invest in a brick factory but the funds are not so sufficient for the time being, the semi-automatic brick machine is a good choice.

There are many models of different types of brick making machines for customers to choose from. If you want to buy a suitable brick machine, you need to consider not only the price, but also its output, floor space, configuration and other factors.

How to make hollow blocks?

The production process of hollow bricks: batching - mixing - conveying - feeding - forming - conveying - stacking - maintaining - finished product

The complete automatic hollow brick production line mainly includes batching machine, mixer, block forming machine, lifting plate system, finger cart system, lowering plate and palletizing system, etc.

Batching: The operator needs to set the ratio of different materials in the control system in advance. When different raw materials are fed into different silos of the batching machine by the loader, the materials in the silos are automatically weighed.

Mixing: The weighed material is sent to the mixer for mixing. After stirring evenly, the material is sent to the block forming machine.

Forming: The main machine of the hollow brick machine is intelligently controlled by the PLC system, and the bricks are formed by hydraulic transmission and vibration pressure. The control system can randomly adjust the parameters according to the different needs of customers. By changing different molds, the hollow brick machine can produce bricks of different types and sizes, realizing a multi-purpose machine.

Stacking: The finished bricks are palletized by a palletizer, which saves manpower and has high efficiency.

Maintaining: 24 hours after the finished bricks are palletized, they need to be maintained with water. Maintenance twice a day in spring and autumn, three times a day in summer. After 15 to 20 days, the hollow bricks are ready for use. Of course, steaming can also be carried out under conditions.

Hollow blocks price philippines

When you are ready to open a brick factory, the price of hollow bricks is also an aspect you need to pay attention to. This is because the price of hollow bricks will affect your later income. The price of hollow bricks in different regions may vary slightly. Below is a price list of standard hollow bricks in the Philippines for your reference.

In addition, you can initiate the unit as a home-based. However, you will need to have a sufficient workplace. Also, a home-based business initiative allows you to operate with low-cost investment.

What are Hollow Bricks & Uses

There are various types of bricks such as Common Burnt Clay Bricks, Sand Lime Bricks (Calcium Silicate Bricks), Concrete Bricks, Fly ash Clay Bricks, Fire Clay Bricks, and Hollow Bricks, the latest technology in the bricks segment.

Hollow bricks have an important role in the modern building industry. Hollow bricks are cost-effective. In addition, these bricks are a better alternative to burnt clay bricks by virtue of several reasons.

The list includes good durability, fire resistance, partial resistance to sound, thermal insulation, small dead load, and high speed of construction.

Generally, concrete hollow blocks come in a larger size than normal clay building bricks. Generally, it requires less mortar and you can expect faster construction.

Is Hollow Bricks Business Profitable?

Cement concrete hollow bricks are modern construction materials. Nowadays, these bricks hold an important position in all construction like residential, commercial, and industrial building constructions.

As construction activity is growing day by day, there is a good demand for cement concrete hollow bricks The demand for this product is always high in all cities and other urban centers.

Concrete hollow bricks are substitutes for conventional bricks and stones in building construction. They are lighter than bricks, easier to place, and also confer economics in foundation cost and consumption of cement.

In comparison to conventional bricks, they offer the advantages of uniform quality, faster speed of construction, lower labor involvement, and longer durability.

In view of these advantages, the applications of hollow concrete blocks are increasing very fast in construction activities.

Here are the Steps to Start Hollow Bricks Manufacturing Business

1. hollow bricks making business registration.

2. Raw Material Requirements

In hollow bricks manufacturing raw materials are cement, stone chips 0.5″, sand, and stone dust. Moreover, you can procure the raw material from nearby districts and from other states. Ordinary Portland cement is the cementing material used in cement concrete hollow blocks.

First of all, mix the cement, stone chips, sand, etc in a ratio of 1:6 or 1:12. This mixture is put in the vibrator machine. This is then poured into the desired size mold. After 24 hours of drying, put the blocks in the water tank for curing.

3. Manufacturing Process of Hollow Bricks

The process of curing continues for two to three weeks to give the blocks compression strength. The blocks are used in the construction process after drying.

Proportioning → Mixing → Compacting → Curing → Drying

a) Proportioning

The determination of suitable amounts of raw materials needed to produce concrete of desired quality under given conditions of mixing, placing, and curing is known as proportioning.

As per Indian Standard specifications, the combined aggregate content in the concrete mix used for making hollow blocks should not be more than 6 parts to 1 part by volume of Portland cement. If this ratio is taken in terms of weight basis this may average approximately 1:7

The objective of the thorough mixing of aggregates, cement, and water is to ensure that the cement-water paste completely covers the surface of the aggregates. All the raw materials including water are collected in a concrete mixer, which is rotated for about 1 ½ minutes.

c) Compacting

The purpose of compacting is to fill all air pockets with concrete as a whole without the movement of free water through the concrete. Excessive compaction would result in the formation of water pockets or layers with higher water content and poor quality of the product.

Hollow blocks removed from the mold are protected until they are sufficiently hardened to permit handling without damage. This may take about 24 hours in a shelter away from the sun and winds. The hollow blocks thus hardened are cured in a curing yard to permit complete moisturization for at least 21 days.

Concrete shrinks slightly with the loss of moisture. It is, therefore, essential that after curing is over, the blocks should be allowed to dry out gradually. You can dry it out normally in shade or you can use drying machines.

4. Hollow Bricks Making Machines

Broadly you can establish hollow bricks making projects in two ways. One is by setting up a semi-automatic plant with different machinery. Another one is by setting up fully automatic hollow brick-making machines.
