At the China SME Innovation and Development Achievement Exhibition, held from July 19th to 22nd, Luoyang Zhongye Heavy Industry (Group) Co., Ltd. officially introduced its ZY1200 automatic new wall brick hydroforming machine. This groundbreaking equipment was previously unavailable in the Henan market, making it a significant milestone in the region’s industrial development.
According to available information, the ZY1200 has secured seven domestic technical patents and addresses common shortcomings found in both domestic and international molding machines. It represents a high-tech integration of mechanical, electronic, hydraulic, and wall-building technologies. The machine is widely used across various industries, including power, metallurgy, and chemicals. Each unit can process nearly 100,000 tons of industrial waste annually, such as coal fly ash, slag, and calcium carbide slag, transforming them into valuable bricks.
Ai Xin, assistant general manager of China Metallurgical Heavy Industry (Group) Co., Ltd., shared his excitement with China Modern Enterprise News, stating that the ZY1200 has attracted considerable attention. The key advantage lies in its ability to convert pulverized coal and industrial by-products into bricks, effectively reducing environmental pollution and resource waste while turning trash into treasure.
Historically, the development of autoclaved fly ash bricks faced challenges due to the lack of large-scale hydroforming equipment. Before 2005, most fully automatic hydroforming systems used in China were imported or based on modified ceramic presses. While imported equipment offered stability, it came at a high cost—three to four times more than domestic alternatives. Additionally, spare parts often took long to arrive, disrupting production. Domestic equipment, although cheaper, suffered from operational instability and failed to meet design output expectations, leading many enterprises to struggle financially.
To address these issues, China Metallurgical Heavy Industry restructured its operations and focused on developing environmentally friendly, waste-reducing, and energy-efficient products. Leveraging its R&D and manufacturing strengths, the company collaborated with universities, research institutes, and wall material producers. They hired experts in the field and established a dedicated technical center and a research team for new wall material equipment. With an investment exceeding 5 million yuan, the company combined foreign technology with its own experience in large-scale equipment and automation to develop the ZY1200. This machine now offers the highest production capacity and level of automation in China, is user-friendly, safe, and features independent intellectual property rights.
