Summary
Manufacturing job that forms, dries, and fires black bricks using clay as raw material, and performs quality inspections. Responsible for kiln operation and equipment management.
Description
Black brick manufacturers mix raw clay, process it into brick shapes using molding machines, dry it in drying equipment to remove moisture, and then fire it at high temperatures in kilns to produce the final product.
