Brick Production System – ELEPHANT

. Highly automated system to produce prestressed lintels in brick-cement.

Born from the SIMEM SPIL expertise in automated carrousels, ELEPHANT is an highly automated system to produce prestressed linterls in brick-cement.

The system is so well designed it is able to turn out daily: all six prestressing benches, working with a single 3-men team in one 8-hour shift.

. The system is designed to produce prestressed lintels at industrial level specifically prestressed brick-cement lintels

These items feature a reinforced concrete core, embedded into a brick shell. The brick shell consists of a well-aligned set of equal modules, up to 50cm long, in bricks, called “rafter shaping blocks” or “bottom bases”. Brick-cement items have their own specific features.

In general:

they improve the structure’s soundproofing and thermal insulation
they improve the structure’s breathability
they improve aesthetics in “exposed brickwork”.

Technically:

it is correct to match normal brickwork items (interposed filler blocks, hollow bricks) with these specific structural brick-cement items: both have the same hygroscopic behaviour and this prevents dark spots that appear on the plaster in correspondence to all-concrete items due to moisture changes
it is required to prevent reinforcements from coming in contact with the brick shell: in full compliance with standard EN15037, which requires minimum concrete enclosure around reinforcements to protect them from oxidation.
