his machine is based on Mould Chain (MC) principle which makes continuous and high speed production of green (raw) bricks possible. With every stroke, green bricks are ejected out of a mould on a metal pallet. It consists of a mixer, a mould chain, a press block, a mould washing station and an all-side sander (including exhaust box). Final adjustment of water content in the raw-mix can be done by adding 5 to 7 % water in the mixer. Loaded pallets coming out of the machine are carried to drying sheds and bricks remain on pallets till they achieve leather-hardness. Empty pallets are returned back to the machine. At present, ‘Ishtika’ Mixerpress has 4 Models – Model MC9, MC8, MC7 and MC5 – all based on mould chain principle and differing only in the number of cavities per mould.
