Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Artisans and workers who mix clay raw materials and consistently perform molding, drying, firing, and quality inspection to manufacture bricks for construction.
Description
Brick manufacturing workers handle a series of processes from mixing clay and other raw materials, molding, drying, firing, cooling, to inspection. They manage raw material mixing ratios, process into brick shapes using molding machines or manual labor. In the drying process, they adjust humidity and temperature, load into kilns (kilns) for firing operations and temperature control. After cooling, they conduct quality inspections for dimensions, strength, appearance, etc. Operation and maintenance of mechanical equipment and safety management are also important tasks. There is significant physical strain in high-temperature environments, requiring precise quality control and teamwork.
Future Outlook
Due to stable construction demand, demand for brick manufacturing will be maintained, but manpower will decrease due to labor-saving and automation advancements. On the other hand, needs for high-quality, custom-specification bricks and products utilizing traditional techniques will increase, raising the value of specialized personnel.
