Brick - Tile

High quality and continuous production in brick and tile production; It depends on the combination of correct raw material preparation, appropriate shaping technology and production equipment that works in harmony with each other.

Karadayı Makina develops machinery and equipment solutions for the preparation, breaking, grinding, mixing, homogenization and shaping stages of clay for brick and tile production facilities.

By evaluating the raw material properties, product type to be produced, target capacity and facility conditions; Process solutions appropriate to the needs are created for brick production lines, tile production lines and clay preparation systems.

In a modern brick or tile production facility, each process complements each other.

General production flow;

Raw Material Feeding → Crushing → Stone Separation → Grinding → Mixing → Humidifying → Homogenizing → Refining → Shaping → Cutting/Pressing → Drying → Baking

can be configured as .

Process steps may vary depending on the characteristics of the product and the structure of the clay used. Therefore, not only the machine capacity but also the behavior of the raw material in the process should be taken into account in the design of the production line.

The basis of brick and tile production is the correct preparation of raw materials.

The moisture content, plasticity, hardness, grain distribution, lime content and abrasiveness properties of the clay are the determining factors in the selection of the crushing and grinding equipment to be used.

Large clay pieces coming from the quarry or stock area are brought to a suitable size for subsequent processes. The crushing process ensures a more controlled grinding of the raw material and a more balanced operation of the equipment on the production line.

Crushed clay can be passed through grinding and refining stages to reach the grain size and homogeneity required by the product.

Especially in facade bricks, tiles and ceramic products where surface quality is important, the quality of raw material preparation can directly affect the appearance and shaping performance of the final product.

Mixing the prepared clay homogeneously with water helps create the plastic structure required for production.

Mixing systems; It creates a more balanced raw material structure before shaping by ensuring the controlled combination of different clay components, water and necessary additives.

Extrusion technology in brick production is one of the basic methods used in the continuous shaping of plastic clay.

The prepared and homogenized clay is fed into the extruder, compressed and passed through a mold suitable for the product geometry. In vacuum extrusion systems, the aim is to obtain a more dense and homogeneous raw product structure by reducing the air in the clay.

After extrusion, the products are separated into desired sizes by cutting systems and transferred to the drying process.

Karadayı Makina solutions;

It can be evaluated according to the production needs of different product groups such as

In tile production, choosing the shaping and pressing technology appropriate to the geometry of the product is as important as the quality of raw material preparation.

Tile production process in general;

clay preparation → grinding → mixing → homogenization → shaping → pressing → conveying → drying → baking

It consists of stages.

The press and mold system is determined according to the form, dimensions and surface characteristics of the tile to be produced.

In facilities where different product models are produced, planning the production line to adapt to product changes is important for production flexibility.

Shaped bricks and tiles go through a controlled drying process before firing.

Controlled removal of moisture in the product during drying; It is important to reduce the risks of cracking, bending and deformation.

After drying, the products are put into the baking process to gain the necessary mechanical and physical properties.

Drying and cooking conditions; It should be evaluated according to raw material structure, product geometry and production capacity.

The efficient operation of a production line depends on the harmonious operation of the machines rather than their individual performance.

In Karadayı Makina's process solutions, different machine groups can be used together according to needs:

Raw Material Preparation

Shaping

Product Transport

Drying and Baking

These equipment can be planned integrated with each other according to the capacity and product range of the facility.

When establishing a new brick factory or tile factory, raw materials, product range and production capacity must be determined correctly before selecting the machine.

In facility design;

should be evaluated together.

This approach allows the investment to be planned not only according to today's production needs but also according to the long-term operating goals of the facility.

Existing brick and tile factories may need to increase capacity over time, improve product quality or renew old equipment.

In these cases, instead of changing the entire production line, machine revision and capacity increase can be made by identifying bottleneck parts of the facility.

Renewal of grinding, feeding, mixing, extrusion, transportation and automation systems; It can be considered among the solutions to improve the production performance of the existing facility.

Not every brick and tile production facility has the same process structure.

Even for the same product, different clay properties, moisture rates and production capacities may require different machine combinations.

For this reason, Karadayı Makina adopts a process approach based on the relationship between raw materials, products and capacity rather than a standard machine list.

Aim; To support the continuity of the production line, product quality and operational efficiency by positioning the right machine at the right point.
