Established in 1936, De Boer Machines Nederland B.V. is a subsidiary company of De Boer Holding B.V. The group is specialized in the production and sales of a variety of equip-ment for “soft-mud” brickmaking under well-known names as Aberson, De Boer, Hubert, Daanen and Petersen.

These machineries for the heavy ceramic industry are deliver-ed all over the world (in Europe, U.S.A., Asia and Australia).

Starting in 2009 De Boer Damle Private Limited was founded in India and started production and sales of De Boer soft mud equipment in the Indian market.

The moulding processToday the machine-moulding techniques are modern, automated process engineering. The particular features of the shaping process call for a relatively low plasticity at the press. This also effects the preparation plant: not a high degree of fine grinding but rather an optimum disintegration of the raw material and achieving the necessary pressing moisture are to the fore. To meet the new production process standards regarding energy consumption De Boer Machines Nederland B.V. has developed a system whereby up to 25% perforation can be achieved without changing the look of the bricks.

ShapingAt the mould chain press the moulds are filled with clay and repressed. The green bricks are turned out by the ejector mechanism and downstroke frame. The largest automatic mould chain press has a capacity of approx. 42.000 green bricks per hour. The mould chain press is integrated into the production process with the help of the stored programme control and automated signaling. The De Boer – mould chain presses are available in several sizes with capacities from 3.000 to 42.000 bricks per hour.

Since 1986, the technology enterprise RTE Akustik + Prüftech-nik GmbH has been supplying acoustic testing technology for production and development:

Noise and Function Testing Acoustic quality control is used in mass production e. g. for motors and gears.

Acoustic Material Testing After an impact, a work piece vibrates in its resonant fre-quencies. From this, a computer determines whether cracks or cavities exist in the work piece. Examples are the automa-tic testing of clay roof tiles or brake discs.

Acoustic Process Control Correct operation of a machining or assembly process is controlled by sound and vibration.
