ARTHUR BRICK PRESS
The Arthur Brick Press was developed to create a method to allow small scale production of compressed bricks in an efficient manner without the use of electricity or engines to power production.
The bricks can be manufactured and used on farms, small holdings, townships, rural villages or anywhere cost effective bricks are needed. Quite simply cheap bricks!
Specification
The bricks produced are denser and stronger than hand packed block moulds. The Arthur Brick Press uses the principle of mechanical compression in making of the bricks from a number of raw materials.
The mechanical efficiency results in the following
- Nominal compaction force 6- 12 tonnes
- Nominal compaction pressure 1.05 – 2.1.N/mm² (150 – 300 p.s.i.)
- Compression ratio 1.6:1
The advantage is a consistent brick with constant dimensions and densities.
The finished product will however be influenced by the following
- The quality of raw material (soil, cement etc)
- The strength and durability of the finished product will be influenced by soil quality the cement constituents
- The Arthur Brick Press will enable the user to produce more uniform products with better quality and predictable finishes
- To achieve higher production rates
- To simplify or eliminate tiring operations
Productions volumes can be expected to be up to 300 per day with 2 operators however this volume can increase to 500 with 4-5 operators.
BRICK DIMENSIONS
Brick size is 300mm x 150mm x 108mm high
The number of bricks used for 1m2 of exterior walling is approximately 32. Therefore production of 300 maxi bricks would result in 9 m2 of exterior walling per day. Interior walls would use the maxi brick laid on edge resulting in a much greater coverage for the daily production.
Machine price is surprisingly inexpensive with financing available. Call Brian on +27-84-310-0478
