The diagram illustrates the way in which bricks are produced.
Overall, brick production is a linear process that consists of clay and ending with the delivery of finished bricks. the process involves shaping, drying, firing at high temperature, coolings, finally transportation for use in the building industry.
In the begning, clay is excavated from the ground using a mechanical digger. The clay is the then places onto a metal grid, where large pieces are broken down, and smaller particles fall through onto conveyor belt. After this, sand and water are added to the clay to create a workable mixture. This mixture is then shaped into bricks either by using moulds or by cutting the clay with a wire cutter.
Once the bricks have been formeed, they are transferred to a dying oven, where they remain for 24 to 48 hours. Following this, the dried bricks are fired in a kiln in two stages: first at a moderate temperature of around 200-980C and 870-1300C. After the firing process, the brick are cooled chamber for 48 to 72 houres. Finally, the finished bricks are packaged and delivered bt truck for use in construction.
