Vertical Shaft Brick Kilns in Cuba
CIDEM, partner of the EcoSur Network in Cuba, begun the construction of two VSBK for fired clay bricks in the cities of Holguín and Bayamo, at the east of the island. The VSBK is one of the most efficient kilns, only exceeded by large industrial Hoffman type or tunnel kilns.
In Octuber 2009, a mision of Cuban experts were in Ecuador where they meet the VSBK built in Chambo, province of Chimborazo. With these newly acquired skills, and after a visit to Cuba of Estuardo Quispillo, ecuadorian expert of the EcoSur Network Ecuador in November 2009, the construction of these two VSBK in Cuba started. It is expected that in July 2010 the kilns will be fully operational.
