A dough of roughly shaped clay is thrown by hand into a mould of wood which is dusted by dry sand. The extra clay around the mould is removed by a wire so that the mould takes the shape of the brick. The mould is then placed for drying and then the dough which has shaped in to the form of a brick is taken out.
These dried bricks taken out of mould green in colour are stacked in the dry air to further dry completely.
These dried green bricks are then stacked by our skilled workers one by one into a coal fired kiln in a controlled temperature.
The texture finish and colour of these fired bricks very much depends on the different minerals which are naturally there in the clay and kiln temperatures.
Red orange brick contains more Iron. The bricks undergo a spectrum of changes as the temperature of the kiln increases. The bricks will darken from purple to red tone and then to brown tone or greyish, blackish tone at around 1200 C° to 1300 C°.
When the firing is completed in the chamber, the bricks are taken out and cooled then they are sorted, graded and packed for shipments all around the world.
