INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, Making of Bricks are done by using
manpower and it causes more consumption of time. To reduce that,
We have introduce Microcontroller based Pneumatic process to
enhance the manufacturing and its associated processes to overcome
the drawbacks of traditional methods. In our model we implement the
microcontroller for sophisticated automation for the processes lead to
reduce human work and time consumption. In our model pneumatic
plays a main role to shape the sand and water mixture and
microcontroller is used to sequential operation of respective motors to
make the process efficient one.

CONSTRUCTION
This arrangement includes a screw conveyor attached
with funnel from which the clay is passed. Then the pneumatic
cylinder with solenoid valve arrangement is included for the process of
giving shape. The chain conveyor with dies are used for transform the
clay for shaping and heating process respectively. The gas burner is
fitted in the conveyor for heating the shaped clay. The process of
operating of screw and chain conveyor by motor and the pneumatic
cylinder with solenoid valve arrangement is controlled by
microcontroller between the required time intervals. The air is supplied
to the pneumatic cylinder solenoid valve from a compressor.
WORKING PRINCIPLE
Initially the clay is drawn to the screw conveyor from a
funnel. Then the clay is put into die then moved to the shaping process
which is done by pneumatic cylinder solenoid valve by pressing
operation. The die along with the chain conveyor then moved to the gas
burner for the heating process. The process of heating is done in required
temperature and time. The working of chain conveyor, screw conveyor
and pneumatic cylinder solenoid valve arrangement are operated and
controlled by micro controller according to the required time intervals.
For the operation of pneumatic cylinder solenoid valve the air is supplied
from a compressor.
OPERATION OF
MICROCONTROLLER
ADVANTAGES
1. It is easy to control.

2. Quick response since it is pneumatic.

3. Reduces human effort.

4. Time consumption is less.

5. Operation is fully automatic.

DISADVANTAGES
1. It require separate compressor to operate the
cylinder.

2. Does not suitable for small scale industry

where low investment is applicable.
CONCLUSION

 To provide automation to increase the rate of

Production
 Reducing time consumption to overcome the traditional
method of operation
 Since the usage of Micro controller, this process is fully
automatic leads to reduce the requirements of Human
