The diagram depicts the the procedures undergone to produce bricks for the building industry.
Overall, the manufacturing of bricks is a very linear process conisting of seven-main stages, beginning with the extraction of clay from the soil and ending with the production and delivery of bricks.
Initially, the raw material is extracted from the ground by a digger and is then put onto a metal grid which breaks the clay down into smaller pieces. A roller assists this process. The next stage is split into two seperate procedures, the small fractures of clay can either be inserted into moulds to give them their shape or they can be cut into their shape by using a wire.
The bricks are then inserted into a drying oven for day or two. Afterwards, they are placed into kilns which vary in temperature with one having a moderate temperature of 200-980 degrees celsius and the other having a higher temperature of 870-1300 degrees celsius. Once they are done being heated they are placed into a cooling chamber for 2-3 days.
Finally, the bricks are packaged and subsequently transported.
