Because of our so old Kiln it is very popular in area by the name of my father as “Bille Da Bhattha”Our trade and business marka is billa know around 70 KM radius from Hoshiarpur city.
The process of making a brick has not changed much over the centuries or across geographies. Traditionally the main steps followed to make a brick are explained below.
1. Material Procurement: The clay is mined and stored in the open. This makes the clay soft and removes unwanted oxides. | |
2. Tempering: This clay is then mixed with water to get the right consistency for moulding. Mixing is done manually with hands and feet. Sometimes and in certain areas, animal driven pug mills are used. | |
3. Molding: A lump of mix is taken, rolled in sand and slapped into the mould. Initially moulds were made of wood, now metal moulds are used. Sand is used so the brick does not stick to the mould. | |
4. Drying: The mould is emptied onto the drying area, where the bricks are arranged in a herring bone pattern to dry in the sun. Every two days they are turned over to facilitate uniform drying and prevent warping. After two weeks they are ready to be burnt. | |
5. Firing: The green bricks are arranged in a kiln and insulation is provided with a mud pack. Fire holes left to ignite the kiln are later sealed to keep the heat inside. This is maintained for a week. Firing like other operations also depends on the knowledge and experience of the brick maker. | |
6. Sorting: After the kiln is disassembled, the bricks are sorted according to colour and noise(by hitting 2 bricks). Colour is an indication of the level of burning. |
Though the overall method remains the same, there are certain regional variations considering the local soil and climatic conditions. In different areas, different soil types are used with respect to local situation. The general approach for firing bricks include using a massive fire, a massive volume and insulation. At our Kiln we fire large volume of bricks together with pure vessel coal imported from America which makes the best quality of bricks in all the manners and the volume itself acts as an insulator to prevent escape of heat.
We try our best to make very good quality of bricks and I want to share some Specialities of our bricks.
1. Size:– Size of Bricks is a very important and mostly ignorable thing by consumer because customer already don’t know about it and a unknown person could phase a heavy loss in quantity of bricks due to low dimensions. We provide our customer the bricks by the dimension of
9.2 inches = length
4.5 inches = width
3.02 inches = breadth
This is the Standard size of Bricks which is mainly used in all the levels and approved by Govt.
2. Whieght :- Whieght of bricks also effects on strength of your dream house.
Whieght of dry brick = 3.100kg
Whieght of wet brick = 3.200kg
