A ruggedly constructed soil-cement brick making machine. It is made from substantial steel sections with "axle steel" shafts. The top round shaft is case hardened carbon steel. This ensures that the equipment is able to withstand the high pressures involved in making compressed soil bricks.
It uses a minimum amount of water to make bricks. T he bricks can be made from either a mixture of soil and cement or subsoil only (depending on your requirements). This cuts out transport costs for crushed stone and sand. The finished brick size is 300 mm x 90 mm x 60 mm. This can make standard 4-1/2 6 and 9 inch walls. Because they are made under high pressure (about 5Mpa) the bricks are solid, smooth-surfaced with high strength and good insulation properties compared with sand-cement bricks.
Production is about 100 bricks per person on the team, ie.: 6 people in the team = 600 per day. The limit is about 1200 bricks per machine per day. The "2-up" version makes 2 bricks at a time, each 230x108x75 mm.
