Industry Insight | How Non-fired Brick Machines Support Solid Waste Resource Utilization
In recent years, with the deepening implementation of China's “dual carbon” strategy, the resource utilization of solid waste has become a key driver in the green transformation of the construction materials industry. Thanks to their non-reliance on high-temperature sintering and wide adaptability to various raw materials, non-fired brick machines are increasingly becoming essential tools for solid waste recycling.
How do non-fired brick machines process “construction waste”?
Take the ZN series intelligent brick machines from QGM (Quangong Machinery) as an example. These machines are capable of processing a wide range of solid waste materials, including construction debris, fly ash, tailings, steel slag, and furnace slag. After crushing, screening, and proportioning, these waste materials are transformed into new eco-friendly bricks that are widely used in municipal roads, landscape projects, and pedestrian pavements.
What advantages do they offer compared to traditional brick-making methods?
Eco-friendly production: The entire brick-making process requires no sintering, avoiding the emission of smoke, dust, and CO₂, while eliminating the need for energy-intensive kilns.
Localized production: Modular designs allow intelligent brick machines to be deployed near mines or construction sites, enabling on-site material conversion and brick production.
Cost-effective: With minimal raw material purchasing and low operating costs, the finished products have strong market competitiveness.
Intelligence drives efficiency in solid waste brick production
Modern non-fired brick machines are equipped with PLC control systems, remote monitoring platforms, and automatic batching systems — significantly improving production efficiency and quality control. QGM’s machines can perform precise weighing, auto recipe switching, and real-time data uploads, helping enterprises reduce operational costs while ensuring product consistency.
Policy support accelerates industry transformation
China has introduced multiple policies to promote the comprehensive utilization of solid waste and encourages the development of “waste-to-brick” demonstration projects. QGM has already launched integrated facilities for construction waste treatment and eco-brick production in various cities, forming a “green equipment + green products” dual-cycle model.
Non-fired brick machines are evolving from conventional brick-making equipment into key enablers of sustainable construction. Looking ahead, QGM will continue advancing intelligent brick machine technologies and providing high-end equipment solutions to support solid waste recycling and drive the construction materials industry toward greener, higher-quality development.
