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...
Runner rings for pan mills or roller shells for clay grinding are exposed to severe mechanical wear so that they have to be made of special materials. Besides higher wear resistance, low-cost...
The findings of a study on the active principles and effects of a change in the pH value with regard to shaping, drying and firing behaviour as well as the leachability of heavy metals in the product...
In the talk, the development of a body for a clay roofing tile is described by way of example – from testing of the individual raw materials through selection of the suitable batch components to the...
Adobe bricks and loam rendering are exceptionally ecological and economical products for use in the interior finishing of buildings. Their low resistance to liquid water, however, can be problematic....
The Palaeozoic, the oldest of three geological eras, holds a host of new raw material sources for the clay brick and tile industry. The reason for this trend are increasing restrictions in the...
