Bricks

What problems does this industry face?

The bricks manufacturing industry stands as a driving force in the field of construction and infrastructure development, where the demand for durability, quality, and consistency reigns supreme. One of the most noticeable problems revolves around the production lines themselves – high-output systems with minimal tolerance for downtime. The products manufactured within this industry are inherently abrasive, subjecting equipment to rigorous wear and tear. In particular, traditional rubber belts, while commonly used, pose a unique problem as they release fragments into the raw materials, which include silica and clay.

How does this affect operations?

Production lines in the bricks manufacturing industry operate under relentless demands, where time is of the essence and breakdowns can have cascading effects. The high-output nature of these systems requires continuous operation, leaving little room for unplanned halts. The abrasive nature of the products exacerbates equipment wear, leading to reduced operational efficiency, increased maintenance requirements, and shortened equipment lifespan. Additionally, the problem of belt fragments from traditional rubber belts is of utmost concern. The released fragments can contaminate the very materials used as the foundation of the end product, compromising the quality and consistency that are the cornerstones of the industry.

Our solution!

BMA Belting understand that traditional rubber belts are no longer suitable for the demands of modern manufacturing. Therefore, we provide tailor-made conveyor belt solutions that are engineered to withstand the abrasive forces encountered in brick production. Our belts are designed to minimise fraying, ensuring prolonged operational efficiency and reduced maintenance requirements. Moreover, our conveyor belts are designed with a clear emphasis on material integrity. We understand the critical role of raw materials, such as silica and clay, in achieving consistent and high-quality end products. To eliminate the problem of belt fragments contaminating these raw materials, our homogeneous belts are engineered with materials and technologies that prevent shedding, ensuring a pristine and uncontaminated manufacturing process. Thus, BMA Belting's industrial belt conveyors provide a two-fold benefit: enhanced operational efficiency through reduced wear and tear, and safeguarding the integrity of raw materials for consistent, top-tier product quality.
