The diagram illustrates the process that is used to manufacture bricks for the building industry.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The given diagram depicts the information about the stages of brick manufacturing that using in buildings. Overall, it can be seen that there are seven steps in this process, beginning with digging the clay out and culminating in delivery.

With regards to the diagram, the clay is digged up by a digger in the first phase and placed on to a metal grid to piece in smaller that thanks to the roller. The clay that is generated as a result of the second step, is mixed with sand and water. Then this mixture is turned into bricks by a wire cutter or by mould. As for the process, it is seen that the manufactured bricks are dried in ovens for 24-48 hours. Then they are sent to kiln for heating, first at moderate temprature (200-980) then at higher degrees (870-1300). As a subsequent phase, the heated bricks are stayed in a cooler chamber for 48-72 hours.

Acording to the diagram, it is seen that as a result of these five production steps, the bricks are manufactured and they are ready to packaging. Finally, as a last stage, the packaged bricks are transported to their destinations.
