The Roof Tile Maker is a simple, hand operated method of making strong sand-cement roof tiles with a conventional and therefore highly desirable shape. They can be made to pass both SABS and CSIR specifications with a superior wire tie-down at the front (lower) edge to hold on tight in high wind conditions. Using a well-chosen sand, you mix it 3:1 with OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement) to make about 75 first class tiles. They can be colored with oxides or by painting the whole tile (by dipping it). Spectacular architectural effects can also be made with individual coloring by dusting the top of the tile unevenly with oxides before the final stroke with the shaping tool.
Optional Equipment: There are 6 Sand screen sizes: 75, 150, 300, 600 microns and 1.180mm and 1.340mm. 1 Lid and Receiver 1 x 400 Gram Electronic scale 1 x Technical Information Sheet
