Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation involves the entire manufacturing process of refractory bricks primarily composed of magnesia (magnesium oxide), from raw material blending to molding, firing, and finishing.
Description
Magnesia brick manufacturers produce refractory bricks primarily composed of magnesium oxide. They handle a series of processes including raw material blending, particle size adjustment, brick molding using molding machines, drying, firing in kilns, cooling, inspection, and finishing. Since the products must withstand high-temperature environments, firing management and quality inspection are crucial. On-site, they handle heavy raw materials and molded products, manage firing furnaces, respond to troubles, and must comply with safety and health standards.
Future Outlook
While demand for refractory materials for high-temperature furnaces remains stable, automation and labor-saving in manufacturing processes may alleviate labor shortages.
