As already reported at the 2012/2013 Würzburg Brick and Tile Training Courses, this EU co-sponsored project is geared to reducing the workplace hazard of respirable crystalline silica. The approach...
External thermal insulation composite systems applied to masonry are highly effective, easily installed and, above all, a cost-efficient means of fulfilling energy efficiency requirements all the way...
To drastically reduce the energy requirement for firing, Keller HCW is closely examining the principle of the countertravel kiln. Known research and principles have been studied intensively and the...
All regular-market measuring systems determine the water content of a given medium by indirect means, i.e., by exploiting a certain physical effect. The consequences of a change in moisture content...
By reason of its high overall efficiency, combined heat and power generation (CHP) is both ecologically beneficial and, in many cases, economically quite attractive. The brick and tile industry, with...
Normally, natural gas is the energy source of choice for firing bricks and tiles. Due, however, to the high-volume cost of all the energy required for manufacturing heavy clay products, it is...
In the brick and tile industry, rotary fans are the most frequently employed type of ventilation device. These air distributors generate high discharge velocities that help achieve major airflow...
Around the world, some 50% of all process energy is expelled unused as waste heat. It is therefore extremely important that ways be found to make better use of such off-heat from production processes....
How, from an installer’s perspective, have roof-tile products evolved over the past four decades? How do market trends marked by declining figures impact the new-construction sector, and how does an...
Clay construction product manufacturer Schmid in Bönnigheim is starting up its first filling plant for Coriso clay masonry units.
In procuring their new Coriso plant, they attached first priority to...
