Issues of Sawdust Treatment

It is noted that the quality of sawdust grinding, used in the technology of ceramic brick and lightweight refractories as a thinning or burning-out additive, significantly influences on the technol- ogy and quality of ready-made production. A new device for re-grinding of sawdust “Kesar” after the sieve with polyhedral drum, which is traditionally used in the ceramic brick technology, is presented. Technical characteristics of the device and characteristics of sawdust before and after re-grinding in it are given. It is shown that the grinder “Kesar” has been successfully tested at the “Sukhoy Log Refractory Works” and installed in the technological line. Two schemes of installation of the grinder “Kesar” in the line for producing the ceramic brick are proposed.
