The Brick Manufacturing Process

The diagram illustrates the way in which the bricks are made for the building industry. It has 8 stages and starts by digging up the clay and ends with the delivery.

It begins when the clay is dug up by a large digger which deposits the material onto a metal grid where the clay is smashed in smaller pieces. In this case, it is assisted by a roller. After this, the clay is mixed with sand and water and is translated to a mould or a wire cutter which its outcomes are the bricks ready for the next stage.

The following stage is associated to the drying and cooler process. First, the bricks are heated during 24-48 hours in a drying oven, then are moved to a device called “kiln” where the bricks are much heated up to 1300c. Next the bricks are cooled ranging from 2 to 3 days. Finally, the bricks are packaged and delivered to their destinations.
