INTRODUCTION
After molding the brick unit through either extrusion or soft mud process, bricks go through the setting and
drying stage. Before they enter the kiln to be fired, the green bricks must be correctly dried.
The moisture must be minimized to prevent certain defects and shrinkage from
happening when fired at extreme heat in the kiln. Shrinkage can cause the bricks to crack
or even fall off the car.
