Why would the freshly laid brick be dirty as hell? Because the machine is demolishing, not building. You can see the dirt building up from falling off the brick as it ENTERS the machine.
It's a block paving machine, check youtube. You are talking about the feeder, the workers manually put the bricks into the machine. This was to comply with regulation of not having the worker working on the floor
