The diagram lends information about the steps involved in the process of manufacturing bricks for the building industry.
Overall, the operation involves 7 steps that begin with digging clay used for making bricks and ends with readymade products packed for delivery to industries.
A digger is used to excavate clay that is specific to make these products. The dug material is placed on a metal grid and the fine pieces fall on the roller while the large ones remain on the grid. The clay is then rolled into sand and water and helps in binding the mixture after which it is sent to either a wire cutter or a brick mould. The wire cutter cuts the mixture into fine specific-sized slabs, while the mould is used to create designed slabs containing a pattern or a company’s name. The next step involves placing the finished products in a drying oven for 24 to 48 hours.
The fifth step considers an oven used for backing the dried outcome known as a kiln. They are then backed at temperatures reaching up to 1300 degrees Celsius. A cooling chamber is then associated with the slabs for 48 to 72 hours. The second last step involves packing the bricks into large sets, which are finally sent for delivery to the building industry.
