The presented diagram illustrates an outline of the steps involved in brick fabrication for the construction industry
Generally, the process can be divided into seven steps, beginning with the extraction of the primary product and concluding with the delivery of the prepared materials.
The illustration describes that the clay is extracted by digger, filtering raw materials through a metal grid and transporting the pure mineral by roller. After that, bricks are produced in two different techniques from a mixture of clay, sand, and water. The first technique is cutting the mixture mass with wire to carve bricks, while the second method implies sculpting bricks by using moulds.
Following this, bricks are cured in a drying oven for 1–2 days. It is interesting to note that the dried blocks have two baking stages, which start from a moderate temperature phase that reaches 200–980*C, continuing with a high heat phase of 870–1300*C in a kiln. Then, the baked product is cooled off in a cooling chamber over a period of 48-72 hours. Finally, after being packed, the completed bricks are delivered.
