The figure depicts the process of producing bricks for the construction sector. Generally, it is noticeable that there are ten steps in the process, starting with excavating clay and ending up with delivery.
To have a closer look, the first step in the brick-making process is to dig up the clay with an excavator. Next, the clay is sifted through a metal sieve in order to be separated from impurities and the finer clay falls on the roller machine. In the third step, sand and water are added into the clay. To continue the process, clay is formed into shapes with a mould or a wire cutter. Then, it is moved to the drying oven and left there for 24 to 48 hours. The formed clay is placed in the kiln in the following step to be baked with moderate temperature, about 200 to 980 degrees Celsius at the beginning and subsequently heated to a high temperature of 870 to 1300 degrees Celsius before moved into the cooling chamber for 48 to 72 hours. After cooling, the bricks are totally finished, packaged, and sent to clients.
