Features of Production of Facial Ceramic Bricks the Soft Forming on the Basis of Opoka-Like Rocks

Presents the results of scientific research and experimental-industrial testing of technology of production of ceramic facing brick soft molding on the basis of siliceous opoka-like rocks. The description of a brick of a soft molding differing in a huge variety of appearance and unusual design which deserved recognition at architects and designers is given. It is emphasized that the main limiting factor for the widespread use of this type of brick is the high cost, due to the very small volumes of its production in Russia. It is indicated that the current situation poses a very complex and urgent task for the wall ceramics industry – to establish a wide production of soft-forming bricks, which in addition to aesthetic properties will have good performance properties. The characteristic of opoka-like rocks and the results of examination of their ceramic properties with respect to technology and soft molding. Classification of types of a front surface of a brick of soft molding is presented for discussion. The main technological parameters of production, interrelation and influence of various technological factors on properties of the received products, and also the mechanism of formation of structure of the burned products are defined. The variable technological scheme of production of a face brick of soft molding is developed. It is emphasized that the presented research results will be of interest to a wide range of manufacturers of facing ceramic bricks and will help to establish a wide production of soft bricks in Russia.
