With the rapid pace of urbanization, the volume of construction and demolition waste is growing globally. This poses both environmental challenges and opportunities for sustainable resource use. One innovative solution is recycling construction waste into eco-friendly bricks, and impact crushers play a central role in this transformation.

What Is an Impact Crusher?

An impact crusher is a crushing machine that uses impact force to break materials into smaller sizes. It is particularly effective in processing brittle materials such as:

  • Concrete
  • Bricks
  • Mortar
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Asphalt

Unlike jaw or cone crushers, impact crushers offer superior shape control and can produce uniform, fine aggregates ideal for manufacturing recycled construction bricks.

Why Use Impact Crushers for Recycled Brick Production?

Impact crushers are the preferred equipment for converting solid construction waste into high-quality recycled aggregates. Here’s why:

High Crushing Efficiency – Capable of reducing large debris into fine, consistent particle sizes suitable for brick molding.
Versatile Output Size – Adjustable settings allow control over final product size depending on brick type.
Compact Design – Suitable for mobile crushing plants on demolition sites.
Reduced Maintenance – Wear-resistant components designed to handle harsh construction waste.
Eco-Friendly – Promotes circular economy by reusing waste and reducing landfill pressure.

Application Process: From Waste to Brick

Step 1: Collection and Sorting
Construction waste such as concrete, old bricks, and tiles are collected and separated from contaminants.

Step 2: Primary Crushing
Large materials are broken down using a jaw crusher (if needed).

Step 3: Secondary Crushing with Impact Crusher
The impact crusher processes the material to sizes suitable for making recycled aggregates for bricks (typically 0–20mm).

Step 4: Screening and Dust Removal
Fine materials are screened and cleaned before entering the brick production line.

Step 5: Brick Manufacturing
Recycled aggregates are mixed with cement and water, then molded and cured into recycled bricks.

Case Study: Urban Demolition Recycling Project

In a demolition project in Southeast Asia, a mobile impact crusher (model PF1315) from Liming Heavy Industry processed over 500 tons/day of concrete and masonry waste.

  • Final output: 0–10mm and 10–20mm
  • Brick strength: Comparable to traditional clay bricks
  • Environmental benefit: Reduced landfill use and raw material consumption by over 40%
