# Clay Kiln Burner
|
|
|
|
Clay kiln burners bake clay products such as brick, sewer pipe or tiles using periodic or tunnel kilns. They regulate valves, observe thermometers, watch for fluctuations, and maintain the kilns.
|
|
|
|
## Core workflow
|
|
|
|
1. Observe, feel, taste, or otherwise examine products during and after processing to ensure conformance to standards.
|
|
2. Observe temperature, humidity, pressure gauges, and product samples and adjust controls, such as thermostats and valves, to maintain prescribed operating conditions for specific stages.
|
|
3. Operate or tend equipment that roasts, bakes, dries, or cures food items such as cocoa and coffee beans, grains, nuts, and bakery products.
|
|
4. Set temperature and time controls, light ovens, burners, driers, or roasters, and start equipment, such as conveyors, cylinders, blowers, driers, or pumps.
|
|
5. Observe flow of materials and listen for machine malfunctions, such as jamming or spillage, and notify supervisors if corrective actions fail.
|
|
6. Record production data, such as weight and amount of product processed, type of product, and time and temperature of processing.
|
|
7. Weigh or measure products, using scale hoppers or scale conveyors.
|
|
8. Read work orders to determine quantities and types of products to be baked, dried, or roasted.
