The diagram illustrates the process that is used to manufacture bricks for the building industry. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

The diagram provides information about how the

bricks

are produced for the building industry.

Overall

,

this

process involves 7 stages and several ingredients,

such

as

clay

, sand, and water. It begins with the digging up of

clay

and finishes with the packaging and delivery of the created

bricks

.

The first step is

to dig up the

clay

using a digger. The

clay

is

then

put onto a metal grid to make it into little pieces that

subsequently

go on a roller.  At

this

point the

clay

is mixed with sand and water;

next,

to form the

bricks

, the mixture is either put in a mould or cut by a wire cutter. Once the procedure to form them is finished, the created

bricks

need to be dried in a drying oven for 24-48 hours. After that, the dried

bricks

go through two kilns, the first one has a temperature between 200°C and 980°,

whereas

the second one's temperature is 870°C-1300°C. Once the heating operation is completed, the

bricks

rest for 48-72 hours in a cooling chamber and are

then

ready to be packed and delivered.
