Customer Story: Odisha-Based Plant Boosts Output by 30% with Karmyog’s KHM Machine

In the ever-competitive world of construction materials, consistent output, efficiency, and product quality often determine who leads the market. This is the story of an enterprising fly ash brick manufacturer in Odisha who, with the help of Karmyog’s KHM automatic fly ash brick-making machine, not only scaled operations but also redefined their business performance—achieving an impressive 30% increase in production output.

The Challenge: Hitting a Production Plateau

For Mr. Prakash Mohanty, owner of a mid-sized fly ash brick manufacturing unit in Cuttack, Odisha, the business had been running steadily—but not scaling. With increasing demand from government housing schemes and private contractors alike, he faced:

  • Manual limitations in production speed
  • Inconsistent brick quality
  • Rising labor costs and downtime


His older semi-automatic setup had reached its ceiling. To stay competitive and meet order deadlines, something had to change.

The Solution: KHM 1440H – High Output with Automation

After extensive research and site visits, Mr. Mohanty chose to upgrade to the Karmyog KHM 1440H automatic fly ash brick machine—known for its vibro-compaction technology, low maintenance, and high production capacity.

Key features that stood out:
  • 1440 bricks/hour output
  • Automatic PLC control system for precise operation
  • High-durability hydraulic components
  • One-touch operation reducing operator dependency
  • Integrated batching system for uniform raw mix


Karmyog’s installation team conducted a smooth
setup within 7 days, including complete training for staff, preventive maintenance guidance, and live testing with fly ash material.

Visual Impact: Performance Before vs After KHM Machine

Below is a comparison chart showcasing the performance improvements after installing the KHM machine:

  • Production Output increased by 30%
  • Labor Dependency reduced by 50%
  • Rejection Rate decreased by 40%
  •  

The Result: Output Up by 30%, Rejection Rate Down by 40%

Within just 45 days of operation, Mr. Mohanty reported:

  • 30% increase in daily production
    The automated process allowed longer run-times and batch-wise efficiency.
  • Reduced labor reliance by 50%
    With only two machine operators and one loader, he could manage full production shifts.
  • Lower rejection rates
    Thanks to uniform pressure and vibration, brick breakage and cracking reduced significantly.
  • Faster turnaround on orders
    Government contractors took notice of improved quality and consistency, resulting in repeat orders.

“The KHM machine didn’t just help us make more bricks—it helped us make better bricks. Customers noticed the difference, and our brand is now in demand across 3 districts.”
Mr. Prakash Mohanty, Owner, Om Sai Bricks, Cuttack, Odisha

What Mr. Mohanty appreciated most was not just the machine—but the dedicated post-sale support:

  • Regular virtual check-ins from Karmyog engineers
  • Lifetime technical guidance
  • Access to original spare parts and upgrades
  • Operational tips for seasonal material variations

This long-term commitment gave him peace of mind that his investment would deliver value year after year.
