Pogo Sticks
Glue method
Both the glue and the bolt method require a skilled workforce to
avoid safety risks. For gluing, kiln shell must be clean and dry;
low temperatures (<5°C) will retard hardening of the glue – follow
manufacturer´s instruction!
With gluing and bolting the kiln inner space is not obstructed by
bricking rigs, jacks etc. Kiln needs to be turned for completing
Lining Speed
Safety first. Then quality. Then speed
VDZ linings have approx. 30% more brick joints which provides
increased flexibility and thermal shock resistance to the rings.
Basic bricks have cardboard attached to compensate for higher
Mortar lining
Clench lining
For simplicity and speed of installation most basic bricks are
clench lined, i.e. without mortar or metal sheets.
Bricking procedure
Marking the axial line and radial lines (e.g., by Radialign)
Staggered vs straight rings
Ring closure (key bricks, position of key bricks,
jacking pressure …)
Key shims (position, thickness, drive-in procedure …)
Fit to old brickwork (L-shapes, position of cut / standard size
bricks …)
Re-shimming of old brickwork
Open axial joints in old brickwork – what is acceptable?
Preparing for warming-up
(4) Staggered position of key bricks and key shims. Do not use
more than 2-3 shims per rings. Recommended thickness 2 mm.
Use pneumatic shim driver if available. Without shim driver, 3 mm
thick shims are acceptable. Phased (bevelled) shims greatly
facilitate driving in. Drive in not more than one shim per joint.
What´s wrong?
After breaking out the bricks, the old lining remaining in the kiln
has to be fixed by angle irons welded onto the kiln shell. Remove
concretions on axial joint of old lining (arrow) by grinding tools,
not by hammer
Accepted: Cut bricks at the outlet side. Always cut basic bricks
dry!
