A bstract In the production of extruded brick for lining ball mills, unevenness of the brick such as (1) bow, (2) diagonal twist, (3) sunken faces, (4) depressed and bulged ends, and (5) underfired and cracked centers were reduced by (1) adjusting the die, (2) using grids behind the die, (3) controlling the drop from the die to the cutting table, (4) adjusting the tilt of the cutting table, and (5) stacking the brick during drying. The specific gravity was increased as much as 3.3% by using improved methods of setting the brick in saggers.
