Our products

Over the period on account of Quality & services, Fortune is established as a well known name in Fly Ash Brick Plant & Sanitary Machinery segment.

Fly ash bricks plant:

Our first model of Fly Ash Brick Plant was with only 50 T Hydraulic Press. With time, experience & enthusiasm of providing robust & trouble free machinery we have achieved benchmark in design & after sales service. We are the first in the Indian market to introduce advance version model of Fly Ash Brick Plant having 85 T Press with Powder compacting PLC based Mechanized Plant technology.

With the growing market & to cater remote location clients in the Fly Ash Brick manufacturing field we have recently introduced a semi-automatic Model of Fly Ash Brick Plant which has Hydraulic Press without any Electronics / Instrumentation, robust, hand lever operated. The press is without any rotating parts & high capacity.

Fortune is manufacturing following two types of Fly Ash Bricks Plant for catering different customer segments.

About fly ash bricks

Fly Ash can be used in the range of 40-70%. The other ingredients are lime, gypsum (/cement), sand, stone dust/chips etc. Minimum compressive strength of 70 kg/cm2can easily be achieved and this can go upto 250 Kg/cm2 (in autoclaved type).

Advantage of fly ash bricks over burnt clay bricks:

  • Lower requirement of mortar in construction
  • Plastering over brick can be avoided
  • Controlled dimensions, edges, smooth and fine finish & can be in different colours using pigments

Cost effective, energy-efficient & environment friendly (as avoids the use of fertile clay).

fly ash bricks viz-a-viz clay bricks

A lot of studies have been conducted on durability aspects of Fly Ash bricks in many CSIR Labs, IITs, etc. Recently a study was sponsored by Fly Ash Mission, TIFAC and implemented by four CSIR Labs namely: CBRI - Roorkee, RRL-Bhopal, ERADA-Vadodara and CFRI-Dhanbad to assess the durability of Fly Ash brick viz-a-viz clay brick. In this study all kind of aggressive environment as acidic, saline etc. were quantified (in terms of its concentration and exposure duration) to conduct accelerated tests on Fly Ash bricks and clay bricks both. The study has been completed and it has concluded that Fly Ash bricks are as durable as clay bricks and in fact in certain aggressive environments perform better than clay bricks.

Fortune manufactures both Automatic & Semi Automatic Press type Plant for Fly Ash Brick Production.

1. Automatic fly ash bricks press plant

The Brick Press offered by Fortune is based on Hydraulic Powder compacting technology, the Press has fully automated programmeable functions using imported PLC System. All the operations of the press are sequenced to give the required output. This is a sophisticated Plant adopting.
