MOULD CHAIN SYSTEMS

A number of  mouldboxes is linked in an endless chain, achieving the highest possible efficiency in brick moulding. In every size and a choice of different executions, such as:

• Single mouldboxes, integrated with the chain
• Split, detachable or movable mouldboxes within the mould chain
• Fixed bottoms or moving pushout bottoms

LOOSE MOULDBOX CIRCUITS

Achieving maximum flexibility, like making special sizes, special shapes or smaller batches.

• Longitudinal mould circuit
• Horizontal mould circuit
• Vertical mould circuit

MOULD FILLING (PRESSED BRICK)

Various filling systems to achieve the highest standard of presssed bricks, each with their own characteristics:

• Press hoppers for making “Smooth” bricks
• Press hoppers for making “Sanded” bricks and/or “Waterstruck” bricks
• Press hoppers for making pavers

MOULD FILLING (“HAND MOULDED” BRICK)

Various filling systems to achieve the highest standard of moulded bricks, each with their own characteristics:

• Hubert filler heads for making simulated hand moulded bricks
• Aberson Cascade systems for simulated hand moulded bricks
• Handformatic® systems for simulated hand moulded and pressed bricks
• Combinations of a press hopper with a simulated hand moulding system

BRICK SLIP TECHNOLOGY

Dedicated brick slip systems

Moulding brickslips or “thin-brick” without the need for cutting dried or fired bricks later on, achieving the lowest possible carbon footprint. Yet with the same texture and appearance as solid moulded bricks by applying the normal De Boer filling systems.

REDUCING THE CARBON FOOTPRINT

Further reduction of the carbon footprint in brick making is achieved by:

• Applying so-called “frogs” in bricks, reducing raw material and energy used
• Perforating the soft mud bricks with our in-line brick perforating system
• Making brick-slips
• Thin brick
