Machine for the manufacture of LEGO bricks in Odessa.

For centuries, brick is one of the basic building materials. For making this perhaps the most common building material used various equipment for the production of bricks. Depending on the manufacturing technology used something or other equipment. There are several basic methods and technologies, which produces bricks. Bricks are made of clay, for example, made the roasting method. By roasting the way the bricks are made of specially prepared clay mass on belt presses followed by firing in kilns. There is also chemically bonded method. In this case, the raw materials (sand, gravel, ash, stone, slag, coal, stones, concrete, etc.) the fraction of 3-5mm, which is mixed with cement and water in the mixer, and then extruded and stored. When chemically bonded method can be applied vibrocompression, Hyper pressure moulding or TRIBOPRESS.
In centuries past, the bricks were hand-made, hand press and a makeshift kiln were the forerunners of modern machines and automated equipment for the production of bricks, facilitated or fully superseded the manual labor.

Depending on the raw materials used are brick can be ceramic, silicate bricks out of fuel ash wastes from cement-sand mixtures. Vibropressuyuschego equipment MS-5 for the production of bricks manufactures products made of semi-dry concrete mixes: wall stone "Brick" semi-HH mm, or single HH mm (size according to GOST). Used sets of punch-matrices for the vibropress MS-5 provide for the production of solid brick, hollow brick with a perforation 8%, bricks LEGO, facing brick wall (first reading) ordinary and corner.
