Laydown Diagrams of Silicate Products on the Trolley, Taking into Account the Packaging and Energy Efficiency of Autoclave Heat Treatment

Currently, there are great opportunities to re-equip the technology of enterprises. Modern market conditions dictate their requirements not only to the quality of products, but also to the quality of packaging. When updating the press equipment to modern hydraulic presses, an updated approach to the organization of packaging of products is also required and, as a result, a change in the scheme of laying products on a steam trolley. An increase in the mass of products – the transition to the production of blocks and partitions, an increase in the quality of the appearance of products raises the question of abandoning manual labor at the press when rearranging products and when packing. The compactness of the packaging makes it possible to ensure the safety of the goods during storage and transportation. A comparative analysis of the operation of hydraulic presses of various companies by the time of forming the steam trolley is given. The existing schemes of laying products on a steaming trolley with manual rearrangement of products at the press and during packaging, as well as new proposed schemes excluding manual labor, are considered. The results of calculations on the energy efficiency of autoclave treatment of the developed schemes for laying products with existing ones are presented. It is established that the specific steam consumption per one thousand pieces of products with schemes for laying products on steam trolleys excluding manual labor increases by 2–4% for all products, and the total heat consumption for the steam cycle is reduced for schemes for laying products on steam trolleys excluding manual labor for single bricks by 9.3%, for thickened bricks from 14 up to 24%, for hollow stone by 17% and for blocks by 29%.
