BRICK MANUFACTURE

摘要

A method and apparatus for manufacturing bricks by extruding a column of raw clay having at least a cross-section corresponding to a desired brick cross-section. The extruded column is conveyed to a frog cutting station having a plurality of rotating, frog-cutting blades (34). The rotating blades are mounted on carriages (36) on either side of the column of clay. The carriages are moved towards the column of clay until the rotating blades simultaneously cut frogs of a desired depth from a plurality of bricks cut from, or be cut from, the column of raw clay.
