Brick and Tile Corporation of Lawrenceville located in Lawrenceville, Virginia is a manufacturer of bricks for building both residential and commercial structures. Due to high demand of their products, Brick and Tile made the decision to build a new plant. It would be the fourth plant built since opening their doors in 1946. The new plant would consist of state-of-the-art equipment and advanced processing methods. They had been manually weighing and feeding materials in their old process and wanted more automation within the new plant. In their research to locate the best equipment for their new plant, the production staff at Brick and Tile reviewed a number of suppliers. As part of the review process, personnel were sent to observe bulk material and handling equipment at the 2002 International Powder and Bulk Solids Show in Chicago. While at the show, Brick and Tile Plant Manager, Bryan Dacus stopped by the AccuRate® booth where he witnessed a demonstration of the MECHATRON® feeder and the SolidsFlow® Streamout feeder. He came away interested and impressed and viewed the equipment as a potential fit for their new plant.
