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.

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.

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

[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)
