Firstly, the clay is dug using machines. Following which it is sent for screening using a metal grid and the fine particles conveyed by rollers. Next, the clay is mixed with sand and water, prior to being deposited into a mold or cut by a wire to form bricks.

The molded bricks are then placed in a drying oven for 24 to 48hrs prior to being sent to the kiln and heated first at moderate temperatures, 200C — 980C and later at high temperatures ranging from 870C to 1300C.
