OUR MACHINES:

our machine
The basic machine consists of 2 compression compartments, 2 delivery trays, sliding hopper head, 2 support feet and associated hydraulic rams, control valves and hoses together with a tractor 3 point linkage lifting capability. (Click on the image for another view.)

The machine can also be supplied with optional extras which include a hydraulically-powered conveyor belt and specialised trailer allowing for the machine to be moved from site to site, enabling production of bricks from local materials.

The machine can be powered by either a tractor P.T.O. driven hydraulic pump delivering a minimum of 47 litres per minute of hydraulic oil at 14 mpa (2000 psi) or simply plugged into any other machine or tractor capable of delivering oil at this rate.

Alternatively a 13.5 kw diesel/petrol engine or 11 kw 3 phase electric motor with appropriate hydraulic pump and equipment can be supplied if required. The pressure delivered by the power sources coupled with the hydraulic ram size results in the exertion of 15 tonnes of pressure while forming the bricks.

The brick trays are located at waist height to minimise lifting when stacking bricks, and all hydraulic controls, gauges and adjustments are within easy reach and in full view of the operator.
optional extras
If required the machine can be supplied with a facility to make bricks with 2 holes formed in them during manufacture. These can range in size from a minimum of 30 mm to a maximum of 75 mm.

The machine is extremely robust in construction and is simple to operate and maintain. It can be set up at a working site within 30 minutes and an operator can be thoroughly familiar with its operation within a few hours.

Manufacture of bricks is very fast allowing for the production of up to 2000 per day. This rate can be easily achieved by employing the assistance of 3 personnel and ensuring there is a continuous supply of a consistent raw material.

An average Australian dwelling uses approximately 3,000 bricks of our recommended size, or one and a half days production.
