Continuous Cutting Machine for Clay Brick Production

1. Overview
The Continuous Cutting Machine is a key shaping device in the clay brick production line.
It is used to cut the continuous clay column extruded by the vacuum extruder into individual green bricks of precise size.
This equipment features high automation, cutting accuracy, stable operation, and easy maintenance, ensuring consistent brick dimensions and smooth surfaces — critical for high-quality drying and firing performance.

2. Working Principle
(1) The vacuum extruder extrudes the clay into a continuous rectangular mud column.
(2) The mud column is guided onto the conveyor system and enters the cutting area.
(3) The machine uses vertical cutting wires and horizontal cutting wires to complete:
• Vertical cutting → Divides the clay column into multiple rows;
• Horizontal cutting → Cuts the rows into single bricks according to the required height.
(4) The cut green bricks are automatically transferred and neatly arranged onto drying or kiln cars.

3. Main Components
(1) Mud Feeding System: Equipped with guide plates and pressure rollers to ensure stable and aligned feeding of the mud column.
(2) Vertical Cutting Frame: Uses multiple evenly spaced high-strength cutting wires to divide the clay column into precise widths.
(3) Horizontal Cutting Frame: Equipped with parallel cutting wires driven by a crank linkage or servo motor for accurate reciprocating cuts.
(4) Transmission System: Composed of a reducer, chains, and belt drives — ensuring synchronized, smooth, and low-noise operation.
(5) Electrical Control Cabinet: Controlled by PLC automation; cutting speed and length can be adjusted easily. Includes manual/automatic modes and full safety protection.
(6) Brick Transfer System: Automatically transfers mud and finished green bricks, seamlessly integrated with the stacker or loading system.
