ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for hacking and stacking brick. Brick slugs are received on an off bearing belt and transferred to a discharge area. At the discharge area, a pusher on a fore stroke engages a slug on the off bearing belt and pushes the same onto a receiving area. While the slug is being pushed on the fore stroke, another slug arrives at the discharge area, and the pusher on the aft stroke engages this slug and pushes the same off the other side of the off bearing belt onto an elevator assembly aligned with the off bearing belt which then moves up to a raised position aligned with a second receiving area. A second pusher driven in time relationship with the other pusher then moves the brick slug from the raised elevator assembly onto the second receiving area. The elevator assembly is then returned to its lower position and the steps referred to above is repeated such that during this operation the two pushers advance accumulated brick slugs across each receiving area and through a wire bank cutting brick assembly. After cutting, respective rows of cut brick then fall from a terminal edge of said second receiving area downwardly onto cut brick being advanced from and across said first receiving area to form a two course high stack of cut brick.
