Client Background
A Madrid-based building materials company has been deeply involved in the local building materials industry for over ten years, primarily supplying blocks for municipal engineering and permeable garden bricks. With the enactment of Spain’s construction waste recycling law, local regulations mandate that infrastructure solid waste recycling rates meet standards, leading to a complete shutdown and reduction of traditional clay brick production. The client plans to invest in a solid waste recycled brick production line, utilizing local demolition waste and quarry tailings to process environmentally friendly blocks for municipal renovation and real estate landscaping projects in the suburbs of Madrid. After multiple rounds of price comparisons and on-site equipment surveys with European equipment manufacturers, the client found that local brick-making equipment was expensive, consumed excessive energy, and had poor compatibility with recycled materials. Through a B2B official website, the client selected YG and ultimately purchased a YG auto bricks machine along with a complete batching and mixing system, primarily for producing permeable bricks, kerbstones, and hollow slope protection bricks.
Challenges Faced
- Strict European environmental regulations require production line dust and wastewater emissions to comply with Spanish CE standards. Older brick-making equipment, with its high dust levels and energy consumption, failed environmental impact assessments.
- Raw materials were diverse, primarily consisting of demolition concrete debris and sand/gravel tailings. The aggregate particle size was uneven, leading to material blockages and insufficient compaction in standard machines.
- Limited available factory space and cramped, older factory buildings made it difficult to deploy large, modular production lines.
- High labor costs and a shortage of local workers in Spain necessitated a highly automated production line with minimal staff to reduce labor costs.
Solution
- The YG technical team, considering Spanish environmental regulations, raw material characteristics, and factory space conditions, customized a fully automatic hydraulic brick-making unit to meet European standards.
- The equipment features a high-thrust hydraulic molding system; high-pressure compaction improves the density of recycled waste bricks, compatible with various waste materials such as construction waste, slag, and stone powder.
- The machine integrates a sealed dust collection system, ensuring dust emissions meet Spanish environmental standards. Its integrated, compact structure reduces floor space, adapting to clients with limited factory layouts.
- A quick mold change design allows for brick type switching within 2 hours of mold replacement, flexibly meeting the diverse order requirements of municipalities. The motors and electrical control components are of universal models that can be sourced and replaced locally in Spain.
- YG provides CE certification documentation, European standard modifications to the equipment, and completes no-load and loaded testing before the machine leaves the factory.
Usage Results
- The production line successfully passed the Spanish environmental inspection within three months of operation, significantly reducing raw material procurement costs by utilizing recycled construction waste.
- A single shift can produce over 8,500 blocks of various types daily. Only three operators are needed per production line, reducing labor costs by 60% compared to traditional semi-automatic models.
- The products have uniform density, and the parameters of permeable bricks and slope protection bricks meet Spanish municipal building material standards. Three municipal road renovation projects in Madrid have been successfully signed, allowing clients to convert their waste construction materials on-site, completely solving the problems of land occupation and high transportation costs associated with solid waste dumping.
- The equipment operates continuously with no major malfunctions. Local procurement of spare parts is convenient, and downtime for maintenance is short. A large portion of the investment in the production line was recovered within six months of operation.
Customer Feedback
The Spanish purchasing manager stated that the YG auto brick machine perfectly aligns with Spain’s solid waste resource utilization policy. The equipment’s adaptability to mixed materials far exceeds that of similar European models, and its automated design significantly reduces labor costs. From initial design to remote implementation guidance, the entire service process is professional and efficient. Complete CE certification documentation eliminates the need for cumbersome local audits. With stable production capacity and high-quality finished products, the company’s orders have steadily increased, and it will continue to add YG series production lines. At the same time, it will recommend YG brick-making equipment to its Spanish building materials counterparts.
