Project Report on Automatic Brick Plant

Bricks and tiles may be made from a number of different kinds of materials, but they must usually possess (or be capable of developing) a certain amount of plasticity, so that clay and allied material such as argillaceous shale are, therefore, the most important brick making materials. The name clay is derived from an old English word meaning adhesive or plastic, but many clays are not plastic when found and all clays cease to be plastic when derived through most clays can be made plastic (to some extent) by mixing them with a suitable portion of water either directly or after a preliminary reduction to powder. It is not, therefore, sufficient to define all clays as plastic materials. Commercially clays and shales often described as "minerals"  to distinguish them from substance of animal or vegetable origin. The distinction depends on several considerations. Which the precise location of the clay and the manner of winning it is the most important. Broad through not invariably clays which are dig from the surface of the ground or from a short distance beneath it as in quarrying and not regarded legally  as minerals whilst those obtained by mining are usually treated as minerals.
