In February 2025, a well-known Salvadoran construction firm—Grupo Infratec—reached out to YG Machinery seeking a reliable, high-efficiency solution for its growing number of government and housing development projects. After months of struggling with outdated manual production lines and inconsistent brick quality, the company decided it was time to upgrade. They selected YG’s automatic brick machine for its automation capabilities, precision, and production scale. According to Carlos R., the technical director of Grupo Infratec, “This equipment transformed our workflow. Our team now produces more bricks in a day than we previously managed in a week—with far better consistency.”
This article explores the machine’s specifications, El Salvador’s growing demand for brick-making automation, how YG Machinery addressed the client’s specific needs, and why more companies are shifting toward advanced auto bricks machines for long-term gains.

Each unit features a fully automated control system, hydraulic pressure molding, and high-speed material feeding, making it ideal for companies that value operational simplicity and long-term cost savings.
Market Context: Demand for Brick Automation in El Salvador
In recent years, El Salvador has seen a rise in public housing investments, commercial complexes, and transportation infrastructure projects. However, most local brick producers still rely on labor-intensive production lines. Grupo Infratec faced several issues with their older manual system: low daily output, inconsistent dimensions, and increased labor costs.
They were particularly concerned about project delays due to unreliable brick supply, which triggered their shift toward automated solutions. Compared to traditional setups, this machine provided not just higher capacity, but also greater brick uniformity—vital for structural stability.
The company evaluated several solutions before choosing YG’s fully automatic system. Aside from production capacity, they also considered the automatic brick making machine price, maintenance needs, and how quickly their team could adapt to the new workflow. The machine struck the perfect balance between cost, efficiency, and ease of use.
Advantages and Customized Solution from YG
To meet Infratec’s expectations, YG provided a turnkey solution. This included not only the core brick making unit but also a conveyor, batching system, and stacking platform—everything needed to go from raw material to finished brick in one smooth process. The key benefits of the solution include:
- Consistent Brick Quality: High-pressure hydraulic forming ensures each brick meets strict dimensional standards.
- Labor Reduction: Full automation cut manual handling by more than 70%.
- Time-Saving Operation: From feeding to palletizing, every step is controlled electronically.
- Adaptability: With minor changes in molds, the system can produce hollow blocks, pavers, and fly ash bricks—particularly valuable given El Salvador’s growing interest in sustainable construction materials.
One of the site supervisors noted that the machine’s ability to support fly ash bricks plant cost reduction was another bonus. By using fly ash from local sources, the company improved their environmental profile and saved on raw materials.
Application Scenarios: Building a Better El Salvador
Since installation, the automatic brick machine has been used on multiple sites, including:
- Affordable Housing: Daily output of over 10,000 blocks supports major government-backed developments.
- Urban Renewal Projects: High-density areas require precisely shaped bricks to meet city building codes.
- Private Industrial Parks: Durable pavers and hollow blocks form the backbone of roads and warehouse foundations.
In all these scenarios, the machine has proven to be a reliable workhorse, allowing construction to progress on schedule even during peak demand periods.
Grupo Infratec has already ordered a second unit, citing that the return on investment was faster than expected due to reduced labor and increased project bidding capabilities.
They also compared it with another auto bricks machine they considered importing from a neighboring country but found the build quality and post-sales service from YG far superior.
