Plain Brick

SRM Bricks and Agri firm has existing FIXED CHIMNEY BULL’S TRENCH KILN chamber with the capacity of 12 Lakhs bricks. Now we have already started to up-gradation of existing Kiln to Zig-Zag Kiln with 25 Lakh bricks capacity.

In zigzag kilns, green bricks are arranged in a way that forces hot air to travel in a zigzag path. The length of the zigzag air path is about three times that of a straight line air path, and this improves the heat transfer from the flue gases to the bricks, making the entire operation more efficient. The zigzag path also ensures a more uniform distribution of heat and this increases the number of Class I bricks to about 90 per cent. Emissions from the kiln are also reduced considerably

The chimney is the most important and costly section of a kiln structure. Hence, chimney design is of prime concern for all kiln owners The up-gradation of existing kiln into High Zig-Zag Kiln same chimney can be used but for stack monitoring, a port hole and a proper platform for placing the monitoring instrument should be provided.
