Modernization of nr. 4 production lines
During 2005 Capaccioli has carried out important plant modernization at El Khayyat Red Bricks Manufacturing, leading company in Saudi Arabia for the production of bricks.
The intervention is related to:
– Modernization of the production lines n. 1, 2, 3 at Jeddah site. The supply consisted in cutting automatism, loading and unloading of dryer, unloading of fired material and a complete supervision system for kiln n. 1
– Realization of the new production line n. 10 in Jizan site, consisting of a cutting line, loading and unloading of material from dryer, setting machine, new semrapid dryer and a new kiln
Our technicians have also supplied complete assistance for the automatism and kiln start up

The kiln, of traditional type, has been realized by applying the most innovative technical developments.
Considering the structural features, the kiln has been realized with self bearing walls which allow a reduction of execution times.
Due to clay characteristics, materials used for the construction are anti-acid type.
A recycling system of great extension was supplied in the pre-heating area, in the cooling area we have supplied a rapid cooling system with air injection and recovery of hot air at high temperature. Capaccioli has given great importance to the refractory material of the kiln cars, considering the firing cycle which is below 20 hours.
We have also foreseen a sophisticated supervision system with PC and PLC and inverters for the counter pressure control.
The above mentioned software was also developed for kiln n. 1 in Jeddah site, in order to obtain a good modernization of the kiln.
