Colombo, Sri Lanka – UNIK Machinery is proud to announce the successful launch of a fully automatic block production line in Colombo, delivering a turnkey "stone-powder-to-brick" solution that transforms quarry by-products into high-value, eco-friendly building materials. The project aligns perfectly with Sri Lanka's circular-economy agenda and has earned high praise from local authorities and the client.
Core Equipment – UNT400 block making machine
At the heart of the plant is the UNT400 concrete product forming machine, integrating advanced servo-vibration and triple-cylinder pressing technology. Key performance highlights include:
12-second moulding cycle for rapid output
Capability to produce paving blocks, permeable bricks, slope-protection units and other multi-specification products
22 MPa+ compressive strength meeting port-infrastructure standards
Flexible mould change system for fast product switching
5G-IoT Smart Factory Features
The line is equipped with UNIK's 5G-IoT platform, enabling real-time monitoring of energy consumption, output and machine health. Predictive diagnostics reduce downtime and cut maintenance costs by 20%. An enclosed belt conveyor and dust-collection system keep emissions below Sri Lankan national limits, achieving true green production.
Circular-Economy Impact
The plant consumes approximately 60,000 tonnes of stone powder annually, replacing river-sand extraction and saving about 30 acres of landfill space. Dust emissions have been reduced by 80%, creating a benchmark "green building-material base" for the port zone.
Future Outlook
UNIK will continue to champion "innovation-driven, green development", providing intelligent, low-carbon solutions for ports, roads and municipal projects worldwide. Together with our partners, we are building a greener Silk Road-one sustainable block at a time.
