The Blackcountry Man

By brickmaker

Extruder and Cutter

From the Clay Prep the ground clay comes to the extruder and is formed into the brick size and shape, but in a very long column.
The column is cut into shorter slugs and trasported to the wire cutter, they get cut into individual bricks but much larger than normal to allow for shrinkage in the drying and firing process.
From here you can see the individual bricks parting on their way to the setting machine.
