[Killa1X1Bee]

hi provide ur email address and company location or provide the price and technical details.

[ned262626]

do you have any machines that i can put clay into rather than concrete

[SemaiaHAR]

And it`s wery cheap!!!!!

[SemaiaHAR]

Vibropress HAR 2 can make many more concrete blocks products as:curbs, paving, trellises etc...

[jmg1957]

well done.

[4shys2]

it would also help with them having a trade.

[4shys2]

These would great for Haiti's,it would give people temp.homes or small structures.,after earthquake.

[Achbar]

Could you use a machine like this to make rammed earth bricks for a home?

[brickclimber]

this is awesome but arn't blocked sopose to be cured through steam?

[tubemeable]

thank you too much

[TheMammamia22]

how can I order this machine for newzealand and how much will it cost to send to newzealand.

[Jinglelegs]

The worker needs to wear hearing protectors.

[Rigge1988]

true! it's sick to work with a machine that makes the much noise without protection.

I am interested in learning the trade for building with compressed earth blocks as I want to take this technology to developing countries and teach them how to use such methods to be more self sufficent. Do you know of any schools other then the one in France that has courses on earth building methods, I find it hard to find anything for more then 1 week workshops here and there, I want a serious training course, not just a workshop.

I have a friend considering a Hydraform setup. He says it costs $40,000 US. I see how cheap your setup is. Before I saw your machine I was all set to make my own machine and send it over to him. One question, do you have molds that will make a block that does not require mortar?

[danedoubell]

We can make mould custom-requested moulds for clients, as long as we get all the correct dimensions.

The only trouble with mortarless blocks is that pallets are usually needed for blocks that interlock both vertically & horizontally. We could easily make a block that would be semi-mortarless, locking vertically (one-above-the-other) but not sideways - unless pallets were used.

[ynnebbenny]

Good point, I didnt realize the Hydraform blocks also interlocked horizontally as well. Even so, the morarless idea has stron appeal, but certainly not the cost of thier machine. I am sure you could also manufacture pallets at the same cheap rate as your machines. I appreciate your bussiness does not exploit developing countries. How long does it take before a brick could be moved off a pallet?

[ynnebbenny]

Do you have touble getting your machines into Zambia? Is freight expensive?

[danedoubell]

Youtube deleted my reply because I included our website address.

In a nutshell - Delivery to Kitwe is about $300 airfreight for a DIY hand-operated machine (see website) that will make 2 interlocking blocks per drop (about 1000 per day with 2 or 3 workers)

No pallet will be required, but I would suggest a little mortar for the horizontal lock to seal up gaps & add structural stability.

la persona que diseno esta maquina no tomo en cuenta que un motor consume mayor consumo de corriente .para estar prendiendo y apagandolo en segundo no mueves 2 bloques pero mueves toda la maquina

[danedoubell]

Eso está correcto - el & de los movimientos de la máquina; los bloques permanecen en la tierra. Después de un día, usted puede coger el & de los bloques; usted puede apilarlos.

El motor es eléctrico, pero utiliza muy poco actual. Usted puede también hacer ladrillos sin electricidad en esta máquina.

pls post some prices

[danedoubell]

A handheld machine (search "Doubell DIY") is around $320 weighing 55lbs. That will do about 500 blocks or 3000 bricks per day.

This machine (search "Doubell Jumbo MK2") starts from $3100 & can churn out about 1500 blocks per day (6") or 6000 bricks/pavers.

The nice thing about this machine is that apart from being very affordable, you can buy interchangeable moulds. (see website)

[danedoubell]

These are not retaining blocks (see other video for example) but hollow blocks used to build boundary walls, or exterior walls of houses or any structure.

The machine may seem slow because the operator in this video is not a well experienced operator, but the output is around 1500 of these M6 cavity blocks per day. We have other models, & you can work out your cost per brick, block or paver. Just google "Doubell Machines" for the site.

[FUTUREFIGHTER]

LOL very impresive--how much will cost this muchine?--i like it but its kinda slow and a little bit requres human labor but still impressive--i need one of this in my house i can build a very Luxury Castle with this muchine

[uni000ver000sal]

What are these shaped bricks used for?

Is it for retaining wall or a house?

Do you have any videos of this shape being used?

Cheers

[tingmendoza7]

aren't those hollow blocks and not bricks? the main component in its material requirement appears to be cement. is this right?

[danedoubell]

correct - these are cement blocks. Kiln firing is not part of the process & cement bricks/blocks last infinitely longer. The term "brick machine" & "block machine" are used interchangeably in the community, especially with our machinery - because you can use the same machine for many different moulds - bricks, blocks, pavers, decorative, etc. you can find more information at our website at dme co za or doubellmachines com / en for US connections.

[danedoubell]

There are an assortment of moulds for various types of building units you can get. Bricks, blocks, pavers, retaining wall blocks, stretcher blocks, ribbon blocks, lock-frog bricks, etc. & various unit dimensions depending where you are in the world.

These are all concrete units, composed of cement + aggregate (usually a ratio of 1part cement to 8 parts stone/crusher/grit/sand)
