kiln, the

are moderately heated to 200-900 degrees Celsius.

Thereafter

, the second kiln is way hotter than the

one, heating the

to 870-1300 degrees Celsius. Boiling

are cooled in a chamber for 2 to 3 days.

Finally

, after the cooling is finished, the

bricks

are packaged and transported to a certain destination.
