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 diagram shows eight stages of the brick production for construction sector. Overall, it can be clearly seen that the eight stages start with digging the clay with a digger and terminate with delivery.

In the beginning, clay is dug up by a digger and then it is put on a metal grid for breaking up the clay into little pieces which are transproted by a roller. After this process, the clay mixture can be poured into moulds or cut by a wire cutter to acquire undried bricks.

Following this, a long thermal process starts to make the bricks dried and ready to package. Firstly, undried bricks are waited in a drying oven for 24-48 hours. Secondly, they are heated in a moderate and high temperatured klins which are at 200C-980C and 870C-1300C, respectively. Next, they are put in a cooling chamber for 48-72 hours. Finally, the delivery stage starts after they are packaged.
