Really interesting Technology! So many things get improved at the same time.

What kind of piston is used to lower the burnt bricks ? In this process?

[@Swisscontactworldwide]

The Vertical Shaft Brick Kiln technology is a vertical kiln with stationary fire and moving brick arrangement. The shaft is loaded from the top in batches of green (unfired) bricks. They are unloaded at the bottom where there is a brick trolley with a single screw trolley lifting mechanism. You can find further technical information here: bit.ly/2MjXM0r

Is the gas only used during the ignition?

[@shantanuborgohain8331]

Yes.

VSBK possibally the worst working conditions ever seen, and for the cost the capacity is not high

Hello, I found your comment really interesting. No one has said such things about VSBK. Can you elaborate more what went wrong?
