From diesel
to sand.

Zaheer Bricks Company has run Umer Engineering machines since 2018. This is their story, in their own words.

“I bought Umer Engineering’s single-mold fixed machine, the BMM-118, in 2018. From 2018 to the end of 2021 it made 2 crore 35 lakh bricks for us. We sold every one, but diesel-assisted bricks were hard to sell, and at that time there was no sand-based machine available in the market.

At the start of 2022 I moved to their latest model, the BMM D-260, which coats every brick with sand instead of diesel. By mid-2026 it had made 2 crore 75 lakh bricks. With sand-assisted bricks the difference between handmade and machine-made is gone, and our construction customers use them anywhere.

Sales kept growing, so in mid-2026 I bought a second BMM D-260 to complete our orders. So far our BMM D-260 machines have made more than 3 crore bricks, and today both machines give us daily production at a single kiln. Now our kiln runs on machine-made bricks, without hand-moulding labour.”

From hand to machine: the need of the hour

“Rising costs are cutting the output of our kilns, and the root cause is that labour for handmade bricks is no longer available. If the kiln industry does not move to machines, it could fall into a serious crisis, so we must make the switch as soon as possible. A machine-made brick comes out better in quality and cheaper than a handmade one, which makes a kiln more profitable. That is where prosperity begins for workers and kiln owners alike, and this decision will play an important part in our country’s progress.”
