Both for the bricks and the roof tiles are identical and include the following stages:
The production process
1. Extraction and processing of the raw material
The combination of different raw materials extracted in the surrounding areas, gives the material the appropriate mechanical strength and color!
2. Shaping
This is achieved by 350 KW presses
3. Drying
More than 700 engines are used to evaporate more than 500 tons of water per day.
4. Firing
This is done in 2 separate kiIns, one for the roof tiles and one for the bricks, each 200 meters long. In the roof tiles, the HTA cassette method is used to fire them one by one.
5. Quality control
It involves compression strength, dimension tolerance, color application, water impermeability, service life, thermal insulation and sound insulation characteristics.
6. Packaging and automatic storage
Like everything else, packaging and storage are done through automated processes and robotic systems, thus achieving a safe way of storage and transport.The automatic warehouse of HOMEROOFING is 70.000m².
Production
The modern pioneering mechanical equipment, the fully automated production process with modern robotic technology, result in the production of products of high specification. The choice of clay, which is the raw material, is done thoroughly with continuous laboratory tests and analysis.
In 2018, with the completion of a decade from the first day of HOMEROOFING’s operation and several decades of experience in the field of ceramics, the next big step in the development HOMEROOFING’s strategy was completed! Dry milling significantly reduces the granulometry of the clay and increases its homogeneity. This leads to a final product with excellent technical and aesthetic characteristics.
Mechanical strengths increase, porosity and water permeability minimize, while the smooth surface is ideal to aplly new styles, satisfying even the highest aesthetic expectations! There is continuous monitoring of quality at all stages of production and with emphasis on the final product in order to be fully harmonized with the Greek and European regulations.
The privately-owned crane fleet combined with impeccable product packaging ensure safe and on time delivery. The 2 autonomous brick and roof tile production units have an annual production capacity of 700,000 tons of bricks and 75,000,000 pieces of roof tiles.
