Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing job that uses clay as raw material to mold, dry, fire red bricks, and manage quality.
Description
Red brick manufacturers mix clay as raw material and use molding machines or molds to create brick blanks. After undergoing bisque firing and drying processes, they arrange them in kilns and manage firing temperature and time to bake them. After firing, they confirm quality through dimension measurement and strength testing, and remove defective products. This also includes process progress management, machine maintenance, equipment inspections, temperature control, and more. Multiple people collaborate to operate the production line. Work around high-temperature kilns and handling heavy objects require physical strength and attention.
Future Outlook
Demand as a conventional building material is on a declining trend, but a certain market is maintained due to restoration of historical buildings and demand for decorative bricks. Due to factory automation and labor reduction, the number of workers is expected to decrease in the future.
