The Brick Manufacturing Process 
 


 
 
 
 
 
IELTS Process Model Answer 
The diagram illustrates the way in which bricks are made for the building industry. Overall, there 
are seven stages in the process, beginning with the digging up of clay and culminating in 
delivery. 
To begin, the clay used to make the bricks is dug up from the ground by a large digger. This clay 
is then placed onto a metal grid, which is used to break up the clay into smaller pieces. A roller 
assists in this process.  
Following this, sand and water are added to the clay, and this mixture is turned into bricks by 
either placing it into a mould or using a wire cutter. Next, these bricks are placed in an oven to 
dry for 24 – 48 hours.  
In the subsequent stage, the bricks go through a heating and cooling process. A kiln heats them at 
a moderate and then a high temperature (ranging from 200c to 1300c), followed by a cooling 
process in a chamber for 2 – 3 days. Finally, the bricks are packed and delivered to their 
destinations.
