ABSTRACT:
A method of, and apparatus for, applying to the original set mortar adherent to the faces of a used brick components of force so directed as to remove the mortar from the faces. The forces are applied to the mortar on opposite side and edge faces of the brick concurrently so as to relieve the brick from bending stresses. These forces have components directed inwardly of the brick and also in directions along and across the faces of the brick for wedging, shearing, cracking, and abrading the mortar off the faces. The forces are applied as the brick is moved along a predetermined path, and are progressively increased as the brick advances, except at those surface areas at which the mortar to which the forces are applied has been removed or reduced in thickness. The freed mortar passes immediately from the site of application of the removal forces. The original faces of the bricks are not marred or scarred noticeably and the bricks are not chipped or broken, by the applied forces.
