The diagram illustrates the way that bricks are commonly made. Overall the process is made up of around 10 steps.
In detail, the process starts when the clay is extracted from the ground by a digger. Afterwards, the clay is sieved through a metal grid, which traps the unecessary parts and drops the rest onto a roller. While on the roller, the clay is mixed with sand and water. The mixture is then shaped into the common brick shape that we all know either by a wire cutter or by a mould. Once the shape is obtained, the freshly made bricks undergo a 24 to 48 hour long process of drying, with the aid of a drying oven. After 48 hours, the bricks are now ready to be transferred into a separate oven, called kiln, which will gradually reach a temperature of 870 to 1300 degrees celsius. Once the bricks have spent enough time in the kiln, they undergo a 24 to 72 hour long cooling process, inside the cooling chamber. Now that the bricks have cooled, they are finally ready to be packaged and delivered.
