Abstract

Apparatus and process for forming setting layers comprised of separated cross rows of brick blanks. Closed row layers of brick blanks are fed to a stop point where they are lifted above a conveyor provided to move the blanks from a start point to a tapping position. When the closed rows are lifted a portion at the lead end are isolated on a plurality of lifting elements so that this portion can be redeposited sequentially by cross row or by groups of cross rows to form the separated setting layer.
