Bricks

Brick manufacturing involves heavy-duty processes such as clay preparation, forming, drying, firing, and packaging. Conveyor systems are essential for moving raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished bricks efficiently through each stage. Belts in this industry must withstand high loads, abrasive materials, and dusty environments while providing reliable, continuous operation. With durable and low-maintenance conveyor solutions, brick plants can reduce downtime, ensure consistent product handling, and keep production lines running smoothly under demanding conditions.

What problems does this industry face?

Brick production is a demanding process that exposes conveyor systems to extreme conditions. Raw clay, sand, and other abrasive materials cause heavy wear on belts, while finished bricks are bulky and often sharp-edged, putting additional strain on conveyors. High temperatures in drying and firing areas create thermal stress, and the constant presence of dust increases the risk of belt slippage and premature damage. Traditional conveyor belts often struggle to withstand these harsh conditions, leading to frequent breakdowns, product handling issues, and costly downtime.

How does this affect operations?

When conveyor systems fail to perform reliably, brick plants face interruptions that directly impact production targets. Belt wear and slippage slow down material handling, while unexpected failures lead to unplanned maintenance and delays in drying, firing, or packaging. Damaged or misaligned belts can also reduce product quality by causing uneven transport or breakage of bricks during transfer. In an industry where efficiency depends on continuous, high-capacity production, every disruption increases costs and reduces competitiveness.

Our solution!

At BMA Belting, we understand the tough requirements of brick manufacturing and provide conveyor belt solutions built to thrive in those conditions. Our belts are built to handle abrasive materials and heavy loads with maximum durability, ensuring long service life even in dusty and high-temperature environments. With reinforced construction and reliable grip, they prevent slippage and keep raw and finished materials moving smoothly across every stage of production.

In wet stages or when handling freshly molded bricks, slat or roller conveyors are ideal for maintaining shape and preventing damage during transfer. For environments requiring maximum durability and minimal maintenance, thermoplastic polyurethane (PU) belts with hard, wear-resistant covers offer excellent resistance to abrasives common in bricks and tiles production.

For particularly extreme loads and high-impact zones such as kiln infeed areas or long firing lines - heavy-duty integrally molded conveyor belts designed for abrasive materials provide long-term strength and low-vibration performance.

By tailoring these solutions, whether steel-reinforced belts, slat systems, PU covers, or rugged molded constructions, we help brick manufacturers ensure consistent throughput, reduced downtime, and smooth handling - from clay mixing to packaging.
