The diagram below shows the stages and equipment used in the process of making matches. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant
The procedure of how matches are made is illustrated by the diagram.
Overall, this process consists in 8 main and complex steps which goes from the blade of the match to the packaging of them.
To commence, the blade is logged in the peeler and the veener. After that, the blade pass through the chopper, and then the sticks, already cut, are introduced in a tank full of ammonium phosphate for a certain amount of time.
The fourth step consists in drying the sticks that were previously in the ammonium, which goes to a hopper in a metal duct, with a blower. This is reserved in a storage area for a while, so then the sticks start to go out from the storage individually.
In the sixth step, the sticks are inserted in a tube one over the other in a pile, and after that they pass to a perforated steel belt, that allows that the matches can be introduced in tanks of paraffin and chemicals of different types. After that, this belt helps to dry these matches, so they can be finally packaged and sold later.
