The price and quality of fired bricks are always two aspects that users are very concerned about. Sometimes the price and quality are directly proportional, and sometimes they are inversely proportional. So what are the factors that affect its price? Today, let the manufacturer provide a detailed answer for everyone.
1. Raw materials: The raw material content should be controlled within a certain percentage for better molding and increased strength. If it exceeds the range, it will cause difficulties in roasting, such as moisture and loosening, so the price will be lower.
2. Drying process: If the shrinkage of the fired brick body exceeds the elastic coefficient of the material, network cracks will appear, the quality will decrease, and the price will be lower.
3. Burning method: For example, for products produced by tunnel kilns and push plate kilns, tunnel kilns have a longer burning time and higher fuel consumption, while push plate kilns have a shorter burning time and lower fuel cost per square meter, but the quality difference is obvious.
4. Quality: Smooth surface, no hidden patterns, and no cracks on the sides. These situations generally lead to problems such as large differences in brick size, roughness, or brittleness. Then put some water on the surface of the brick and observe the water absorption rate. If the water absorption is too fast, it indicates that the brick is green or has low density; If it is too slow, wind crystals and brittle bricks may appear. Then look at the degree of particle bonding inside the brick, only well bonded bricks can achieve the desired strength.
5. Manufacturer brand: The higher the popularity of the fired brick manufacturer, the higher the price, which includes some promotional expenses. So when users purchase bricks from small manufacturers, they should pay more attention to quality and price, which are directly proportional.
So overall, a high price does not necessarily mean that the quality of fired bricks is good, and a low price does not necessarily mean that their quality is poor. Therefore, when choosing, it is important to consider all aspects and listen to the manufacturer's opinions in order to purchase products that are cost-effective.
