Is the Vertical Shaft Brick Kiln a profitable business?
Ans. Yes it is. The Vertical Shaft Brick Kiln allows you to retain complete control over product quality, unit production cost and pollution emissions. Fuel costs alone are at least 40% lower than those associated with the operation of conventional kilns. Throughout the year, your saleable bricks will represent more than 90% of your total brick production. The VSBK kiln with two shafts can be set up in 2000 sq.m. of land, and 4 shafts in 4000 sq.m, excluding the brick-moulding area. With an initial investment of approximately 15 lakhs, sales of upto 35 lakhs each and every annum have been achieved with handsome profit margins. From the second year your investment will be limited only to the working capital requirement of approximately 1 lakh.
