The diagram illustrates the process of brick manufacturing, from the preparation of different types of clay to the final delivery of the finished bricks.
Overall, the production of bricks is a linear process that starts with the excavation of clay using vehicles and concludes with the delivery of the finished bricks to construction sites. Along the way, the clay is dug, gridded, packaged, and delivered as bricks.
To begin with, clay is dug from the soil, and it is collected. It is placed on a metal grid and agitated using a roller. Then, sand and water are added to the mixture, and the clay is pressed into moulds and cut into bricks using a wire cutter.
The wire-cut bricks are placed in a drying oven and stored for 24-48 hours. Then the bricks are placed in a kiln where they are heated at the moderate temperature of 200-980 degrees, and then at a higher temperature of 870-1300 degrees. After that, they are transferred to a cooling chamber for approximately 47-72 hours.
Finally, the packaged bricks are delivered to construction outlets, where consumers can buy them.
