Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A profession that uses chamotte (highly heat-resistant clay material) as raw material to form and fire refractory bricks, manufacturing products mainly used as lining materials for high-temperature furnaces and kilns.
Description
Chamotte brick manufacturers select and crush chamotte (highly heat-resistant clay), blend it in appropriate proportions, then use forming machines or molds to shape it into bricks. After forming, excess moisture is removed using drying equipment, followed by high-temperature firing in a kiln. After firing, dimensions, strength, and refractory performance are inspected, and products that pass the standards are shipped. Plant operation management, machine maintenance, and safety and health management are also important tasks.
Future Outlook
While stable demand is expected in response to the demand for high-temperature furnaces and industrial furnaces, the automation of manufacturing processes is advancing, making the acquisition of efficient production technologies and skill succession key challenges.
