Step by Step Process of Manufacturing Bricks
Step by Step Process of Manufacturing Bricks Bricks play a primary role in construction at all levels beginning from thatched roofs to multi-storeyed buildings. Over many years, the process of brick making has not changed except for minor refinements. Bricks are the oldest construction material which has been broadly used at present due to its durability, availability and low cost. Refined brick making and burning techniques have exceptionally improved the quality of buildings. Manufacturing of bricks constitutes four stages i.e., preparation of soil, moulding, drying and burning. Preparation of Soil Removal of Top Soil: The removal of top soil involves the loose materials present at the top of the soil for a depth of about 200 mm. These materials should be removed as they contain a lot of impurities and are not used in the preparation of bricks. Digging and Spreading: After digging the soil for about 200 mm, the soil is spread on the level ground, and the heaps of clay are about
