Process and apparatus for arranging bricks in setting layers of rectangular configuration

摘要

Bricks are conveyed to a grouping device in rows for arrangement into setting layers which are placed in crosswise relation on kiln cars for firing. Excess bricks in the rows are pushed off the grouping device onto one of a pair of storage tables until a sufficient number are accumulated on the table to form a setting layer. The storage tables are movable and are alternately positioned adjacent the grouping device to permit formation of two different setting layer configurations.
