Fully Automatic Brick-Making Machine production line has been successfully launched in Gaborone, Botswana.
Recently, the QT5-15 fully automatic brick machine production line independently developed by Shandong Gaotang Huatong Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Huatong Hydraulic") has been smoothly installed, debugged and officially put into operation in Gaborone, the capital of Botswana. The successful implementation of this project is not only an important milestone for Huatong Hydraulic to deepen the overseas market, but also demonstrates the technical strength and service reputation of Chinese brick making equipment in the African market.
With the steady economic development of Botswana in recent years, the local construction industry has an increasingly urgent demand for efficient and environmentally friendly building materials production equipment. After comparing many brands around the world, the customer in Gaborone finally chose the QT5-15 fully automatic brick machine production line of Huatong Hydraulic. The customer stated that the advantages of Huatong Brick Machine in automation, production capacity stability and environmental performance perfectly fit the local market's demand for high-quality building materials production. The brand commitment of "Huatong Brick Machine Global After-sales Service Tour" also makes them full of confidence in the operation and maintenance support after the project implementation.
The QT5-15 fully automatic brick machine is a core product customized and upgraded by Huatong Hydraulic for the overseas market. Adopting a PLC intelligent control system, the equipment can realize the full-process automatic operation from raw material proportioning, mixing, pressing and forming to stacking. The single-shift production capacity can reach 50,000 to 60,000 standard bricks, and it is also compatible with the production of various brick types such as pavement bricks and hollow blocks, effectively meeting the diverse construction material needs of local Botswana. The equipment is also equipped with high-efficiency dust removal and noise reduction systems, which meet international environmental protection standards and help customers achieve green production.
From the arrival of the equipment at the project site on Matlala Road, Gaborone on January 23, 2026, to the official commissioning of the production line on February 6, the technical team of Huatong Hydraulic overcame many challenges such as the local high-temperature and dry climate and inadequate logistics support, and completed the equipment installation, commissioning and operation training for local employees in only two weeks. During the installation process, the technicians worked closely with local workers, and every link from the construction of the JS500 mixer to the commissioning of the brick making main engine strictly followed the standard procedures. The picture of Huatong technicians and local employees holding up the banner of "Huatong Brick Machine Global After-sales Service Tour" in the on-site photos has become a vivid epitome of industrial cooperation between China and Botswana.
After the production line was put into operation, the first batch of pavement bricks and blocks produced were quickly recognized by local construction contractors due to their uniform density and stable strength. The person in charge of the customer said: "The efficiency of Huatong Brick Machine far exceeds our expectations. It not only improves our production capacity, but also reduces production costs. More importantly, the Huatong team followed up the whole process of service, so we have no worries." At present, the production line has become an important building materials supply base in Gaborone and surrounding areas, providing strong support for local infrastructure construction, creating dozens of jobs and boosting local economic development.
As a leading enterprise in the domestic brick making equipment field, Huatong Hydraulic has always taken "let global customers use high-quality brick making equipment" as its mission. The success of the Botswana project this time is not only a concrete practice of the company in implementing the "Belt and Road" initiative, but also further enhances the brand influence of Huatong Brick Machine in the African market. In the future, Huatong Hydraulic will continue to increase technological innovation and overseas service network construction, provide efficient, environmentally friendly and reliable brick making solutions for customers in more countries and regions, and promote China's equipment manufacturing to the world.
