The diagram below shows the process of producing construction broicks. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The diagram illustrates the sequence for the manufacturing of construction

bricks

. In general, it can be clearly seen that the given process is visibly time-consuming, different equipment is involved in it,

while

most of the stages are equally necessary for the final product. In the initial step, a machine called a digger collects

clay

from the ground. After that, the

clay

is distributed on a metal grid in order for it to fall onto the roller. In the following stage, water and sand are added to the

clay

, and

then

the shape of a brick is made by either filling the

clay

into a mould or cutting it with a wire. After that, the

bricks

are dried inside an oven for about 24-48 hours. The next phase consists of three steps,

firstly

, it is placed into a moderate klin with a temperature of 200°C -980°C.

Then

the

bricks

are transported to a higher temperature klin and,

lastly

, they are left in a cooling chamber to cool for 48-72 hours. The final stage is packaging and delivering the finished

bricks

.
