The diagram illustrates the process used to manufacture bricks for the building industry. Overall, the procedure is a linear sequence of stages beginning with raw clay extraction and ending with packaging and delivery of the finished bricks.
First, clay is dug from the ground and transported to a crushing and grinding area where it is broken down by a metal grid and rollers. The crushed clay is then mixed with sand and water to form a uniform mixture, which is fed into moulds. Excess material is cut by a wire cutter to form individual bricks, which are placed in a drying oven for about one to two days.
After drying, the bricks enter a series of kilns for firing. The fired bricks are allowed to cool in a cooling chamber before being moved to packaging. Finally, the packaged bricks are loaded onto trucks and delivered to customers.
