The diagram depicts the stages involved in making

bricks

for the building industry.

Overall

, there are seven stages in brick manufacturing, starting with the digging of

clay

and finishing with delivering it to its destination.

Initially

, the

clay

is dug from the ground using a large digger, after which it is placed onto a metal grid which is utilized for breaking the

clay

into smaller pieces. Four rollers assist in

this

step. The next stage is to add water and sand to the

clay

and make brick from the mixture by putting it in either a wire cutter or a mould. As a subsequent stage, raw

bricks

are

then

put in an oven where they dry for between 1 and 2 days.

Subsequently

, after being dried in the oven, the

bricks

are heated in kilns

initially

at a moderate temperature (200-980 Celcius) and later at a high temperature (870-1300 Celcius), before undergoing a cooling process using a cooling chamber for 2 and 3 days. As a final step ready

bricks

are packaged and delivered to their target.
