Today we will introduce you to the brick production process. The brick factory in Kuzmin, near Sremska Mitrovica, is a village of good and hard-working locals, but also a village where the best clay is found and where the best bricks are made. Brick or brick is a wall building material obtained by forming, drying and firing clay material, sand and water. Facade solid brick is an element made of baked clay intended for the production of external and internal walls that do not need to be plastered. Brick Production Process: Selection of Materials:

The process begins with the selection of raw materials. Traditionally, bricks are made from clay, but today other materials such as sand can be used.

Preparation of Materials:
The raw materials are then mixed and go through processes such as grinding and grinding to achieve a certain consistency and texture.

Molding of Bricks:
The material is shaped into bricks using various methods, including pressing.

Drying:
Bricks are dried to remove excess moisture, usually in air or in dryers. After shaping the product, there is a drying period, which depends on the time of year, but usually lasts ten or fifteen days. Then comes baking, which lasts about seven days, so the finished product can be expected in thirty days from shaping to placing the product on the pallet.

Baking:
Dry bricks are fired in kilns at high temperatures, which causes the material to harden. The temperature of the furnace is usually 1100 C, degrees.

Glazing or Painting:
In some cases, bricks can be glazed or painted to achieve a certain look or improve protection.

Environmental Benefits of Using Bricks
Durability of Materials:
Clay bricks, which are traditionally used, are a natural material and a renewable resource. This type of brick can have a smaller environmental footprint compared to synthetic materials.

Energetic efficiency:
The brick production process can be energy efficient, especially if modern kilns and technologies that reduce energy consumption are used.

Longevity:
Bricks are known for their longevity. Building materials that last a long time contribute to reducing the need for frequent replacements and reducing waste.

Thermal Mass:
Bricks have a high thermal mass, which means they can retain heat and regulate internal temperatures. This can help reduce the need for additional heating or cooling.

Recycling and Reuse:
Bricks can be recycled or reused in construction projects, reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills.

Aesthetic Adaptability:
Bricks offer a variety of aesthetic possibilities, allowing architects to create attractive and unique building projects.

Small Emission During Use:
The use of bricks in construction projects usually does not produce harmful emissions during the life cycle of the material. Considering these environmental aspects during the production and use of bricks can help create more sustainable and environmentally friendly construction solutions.

At the VASA brick factory, we basically apply the same procedure as several thousand years ago, and brick is absolutely irreplaceable even in the 21st century. Solid brick will be made as long as people build homes, it symbolizes safety and durability.

OUR BRICK BUILDS YOUR FUTURE.
