The diagram illustrates the production of bricks from scratch through various stages.
The process constitutes of 7 main stages. It begins with acquiring clay and ends with the shipment of the finished bricks. It follows a straightforward path. It may be noted that two distinct methods may be used during shaping.
To begin with, clay is obtained using a digger. The clay is then transferred to a roller through a metal grid. Sand and water are added to it. From here, the mixture is given form using one of two ways. The mixture can be passed through a wire cutter which divides it into bricks. Alternatively a mould may be used to convert the unformed mass into bricks.
Subsequently the bricks are moved over to a drying oven. Here they reside for 24-48 hours. From here they are placed in a kiln of moderate temperature (200 degree celsius to 980 degree celsius) before being moved to one with high temperature (870 degree celsius to 1300 degree celsius). Next, they are moved to a cooling chamber for 48-72 hours. Finally the bricks are ready for packing and are then set out for delivery.
