The diagram provides information about brick production for the building industry. Overall, it can be clearly seen that there are eight stages in the process, which begins with the digging up the clay and ends with the shipping of bricks by a vehicle.

In the beginning, the material of clay is dug up from the ground by a digger. After that, the collected clay is sent over a metal grid, and on this grid the small pieces of clay are transferred to the roller band. Following this, sand and water are added to the clay, and this mixture is converted to the mould bricks with the help of a wire cutter. The produced bricks are located in an oven for 24-48 hours to dry.

In the subsequent stage, the bricks are sent to the kiln for heating stage, which are divided into three sections. In the first klin the temprature is moderate at (200-980 C), and in the second klin it is much higher at about (870-1300 C). As a subsequent phase, the bricks are transferred to the cooling chamber to stay there for 48-72 hours. Lastly, the produced bricks are ready for using and therfeore are transferred to the marketplace through delivery vehicles.
