The Bricking Solutions Refractory Jack was designed and built exclusively for refractory installation to install each course consistently tighter for increased refractory life span.

The Problem:

The keying jack is the most critical piece of equipment used in the tightening of each radial row of brick. The jacking must take place with each row prior to keying the row in place. When using one of our bricking machines, the keying operation takes place every 15 minutes. The masons asked that we streamline this operation.

The Solution:

We decided the best way to come up with a solution was to spend time with the masons and watch them in operation. It did not take long to realize the solution. We noticed the masons had to lift the jack (28Kg/60lbs) up into the keying position and then, with one hand, had to reach down to activate the hydraulic pump. At times the mason would jar the jack and lose the proper jacking position as they were trying to activate the pump. We knew that if we installed a finger valve that was attached to the jack the mason could hold the jack in place with both hands. While keeping both hands on the jack and maintaining the proper jack placement the mason can activate the jack and secure the brick all in one smooth operation. By developing a pneumatic valve in the jack and a pneumatic operated valve in the pump we could simply plumb this together with the hydraulic line and solve a problem with a simple design.

Justification:

• The masons will be less fatigued and can be more attentive in the critical keying process

• Safer method then the older version. Less chances for costly worker injuries

• Better management of keying process ensures tighter, more uniform brick installation.

Features:

• The jack is designed to give the operator constant radial tightness on each refractory course assuring better quality control

• Our jack installs your refractory tighter, resulting in longer refractory life span

• Finger tip control for ease of use and increased safety.
