In the construction of new buildings and for the energy refurbishment of existing buildings, thermal insulation composite systems (TICS) are very widely used. Brick slips are often used to clad the...
Returning used masonry bricks to the production cycle and, likewise, closing resource recycling loops both require that the material be mono-fractionated. That, in turn, requires that the bricks be...
The increasing automation of clay brick and tile production plants with robot systems for handling applications requires a wider use of vision systems for a flexible and smooth production flow. This...
Following further development, Morando-Rieter presented their new “Genius” roller mill at Ceramitec 2015. This is the successor to the extremely successful Morando “LA” roller mills, with over...
In practically any and all brickworks, large volumes of air have to be handled. While the pertinent processes are checked and evaluated as part of the acceptance inspection, they are hardly ever...
Optimum utilization of energy is becoming increasingly important for industrial enterprises in Germany. One component for this is the introduction of cogeneration for heat and power (CHP).
During...
For a brickworks with a production rate of 400 tonnes per day fired ware, the mixing water content of around 20 mass% necessary for pressing means that every day around 80 t water must be expelled...
Across the brick and tile industry, the most-used shaping units are continuous extruders, primarily of the de-airing type, but also, if quite rarely, roller presses. These machines‘ basic principle...
Top quality of replacement and wear parts is demonstrated in optimized wear behaviour, long lifetimes and simplified handling when replacement becomes necessary: characteristics that contribute to...
Raw material conditioning processes, up to and including shaping, account for a major share of overall energy consumption in the production of diverse heavy clay products.
The specific energy...
