1.Clay Mining and Transport:

• Uses high-quality materials, following the specification of the most suitable process conditions for the production of roofing tiles and bricks, in relation to the chemical and physical properties of the clay types;
• Has a reduced environmental impact, thanks to the adoption of a special mine plan for trances;
• Develops the environmental recovery simultaneously with the mining, thus drastically reducing the area subject to visual environmental impact;
• Analyses the environmental recovery themes on the basis of the locally available materials that can be used for filling in the quarried areas;
• Develops the environmental recovery simultaneously using special liners made out of materials that can be used for the filling in of the mining areas;
• Studies the technical/economical of a mobile covering system which would totally eliminate the problem of environmental impact;
• The techniques and methods used must also be economically competitive with traditional methods and related environmental recovery techniques.
• The continuation of the quarrying of high-quality clay near to the tile production plant, with the consequent containment of transport costs; an extremely important factor when dealing with a low-value material like clay.
• A mining plan for trances which includes immediate environmental recovery during the mining phase, thus camouflaging the work zone as much as possible.
• An assessment of methods and materials for environmental recovery.
• The defining of the technical/economic parameters for a mobile covering, aimed at eliminating the environmental impact during the mining phase.

2. Production Process
Clay roofing tiles are one of the most successful structural ceramic products with a clearly marked upward trend. This is shown not least by the large number of clay roofing tile works which have recently been built all over the world. Corresponding to the production process a distinction is made between pressed and extruded clay roofing tiles, in which the former assume greater importance.

3. Drying and Baking facilities:                                                                                     After initial drying in hot air for a period of few days, tile is put is automatic continuous kiln and exposed to heat at the temparature of 1,400 degree or more for few days. Tile changes color and becomes light and attains metalic toughness. Ceramic clay, apart from being good insulator from heat and electricity, is nonporous and light, takes heavy weights, and is as harmless as mother nature.

4. Testing and Quality control:                                                                                   Then the tile is removed from kiln, and allowed to cool down for few days, and tested individually for quality control.

5. Transportation and marketing:                                                         
It is transported usually by our own Ganguli Tiles  Lorry or by small ships called machua...
