Narrow-gauge field railway - Loren in Carl Schlickeysen's catalog from 1860

Carl Schlickeysen (born August 13, 1824 in Trier , † June 14, 1909 in Steglitz ) was a German inventor and businessman . In 1854 he invented the screw or extrusion press for brickworks and showed narrow-gauge light railways as early as 1860 - lorries in his catalog.

Live and act

Carl Schlickeysen, brick machine manufacturer

Carl Schlickeysen lived in Berlin from 1841 and founded a small machine factory there in 1850 for the construction of drain pipe presses, which were initially designed as so-called wheel presses. In 1854 he invented the screw press and brought a standing brick press for the production of roof tiles onto the market, which he demonstrated at the agricultural exhibition in Cleve in 1855 . The first press was still powered by horses, but as early as 1858 he exhibited the first standing brick press driven by a leather belt in Roßlau an der Elbe and put another into operation in his own brickworks in Kremmen .

Shortly afterwards, also in 1858, he improved the initially smooth, dry metal mouthpieces that he had designed and invented mouthpieces with scaly irrigation. In 1865 he exhibited the first horizontal brick extrusion press at the provincial exhibitions in Stettin and Cologne , and in 1874 he invented the feed roller. These three concepts - screw for plastic bodies, scale irrigation form and feed roller - formed the basis of today's extrusion presses.

At the exhibitions of 1862 in London, 1867 in Paris, 1873 in Vienna, 1876 in Philadelphia, 1896 in Berlin, 1900 in Paris, his extruded brick presses were honored with high and highest awards.

After he had to retire from professional life at the age of 82, his company moved to the Rixdorfer Maschinenfabrik vorm in 1906 . C. Schlickeysen , Berlin, which manufactured automatic loading devices for stationary peat machines around 1921.

Inventions and products

Carl Schlickeysen invented the screw or extrusion press for clay in brickworks in Berlin in 1854 .

In 1873, three years before Paul Decauville , the C. Schlickeysen machine works in Berlin used portable narrow-gauge tracks in brickworks and peat cuttings and exhibited them publicly in the Berlin building exhibition in 1874.

Carl Schlickeysen invented and patented exchangeable knife linings on worn screw bodies in 1881 (DRP. 16949) and in 1883 the mixing and homogeneous screw and in 1900 the three-strand press for structure-free products of all kinds for brick presses of all sizes (DRP. 94681).

C. Schlickeysen: Special factory for machines for brick, peat, pottery and mortar production. Berlin 80, Wassergasse 18.

Around 1887 the company was located at Wassergasse 18 in Berlin and recommended itself as the oldest and largest exclusive specialty factory for machines for brick, peat, pottery and mortar production. At that time it only offered one patent license for the sole production of extruded interlocking tiles and the following patented products in each of the larger districts:

  • Interlocking tile cutting and embossing tables
  • Precision cutting tables, DRP 33324, 33011, 31483, for roof and wall tiles and extruded interlocking tiles of all common systems.
  • Automatic vibrating screens, DRP 28876, to sort sand, gravel, coal, earth etc. into 3 grain sizes, as well as for mixing sand, cement, gravel, paints etc.
  • Patent molding devices with manual and machine operation for terrazzo, cement and clay tiles, as well as pressing, grinding and polishing machines and all apparatus for marble and mosaic production.
  • New patent brick press mold consisting of a scaled pipe in an iron shell, for easy and quick dismantling for repair and cleaning for the production of solid and perforated brick 1/4, 2/4, 3/4 hole facing bricks, ledges etc.

In 1896 the company received the Golden State Medal at the Berlin Trade Fair . It was located in Rixdorf near Berlin around 1901 and offered the following products there:

  • Patent brick press for solid bricks without structural cracks, pressing out 500 to 5000 bricks in an hour on request in a straight line at the same time: roof and perforated bricks, tubes, plates, masonry bricks etc. This received the gold medal in Paris in 1900.
  • New peat machine for the finest compaction with the highest mass output. In 1900 it received the first prize, the gold medal, at the peat machine competition in Dorpat .
  • Patent bucket elevator for clay, peat, sand, gravel, ores, coal, mortar, grain, etc. According to its own information, this elevator enabled a cheaper and simpler construction and operation of all brickyard machines than all previous devices.
  • Patent safety pulley which, in order to limit the power transmission and to protect the work machines, only transmitted the power to the work machines for which it was set as required.
  • Machines for roof tiles of all kinds, clay pipes of all sizes, concrete preparation, ore briquettes, fireclay tiles, interlocking tiles, floor tiles in clay and cement, hand-made brickworks. Kneading and molding machines for furnace factories, chemical industry, foundries, paint factories, putty and soap manufacturing, heat protection compounds. Drying of pulpy masses. technical educational institutions, test stations, etc. s. w.

New and converted systems

New and rebuilt facilities, 1877

Around 1877, Carl Schlickeysen's company offered the production of plans and the implementation of new systems as well as the modification of older, unfavorably working ones. Systems were built according to the plans by C. Schlicheysen in the following steam brick factories:

Among other things:

  • Steam brick at the Berlin central factory in Neustadt E.-W.
  • The machine installation for the mass production of the steam brickworks at the Magdeburger Baubank zu Groß Schönebeck , the steam brickworks
