Manual Compressed Earth Block Machine Small Manual Cement Interlock Brick Machine/ Manual Fly Ash Brick Making Machine

The CEBM2 Machine uses a minimum amount of water to make bricks. The 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 150mm x 100mm. 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 250 bricks per person on the team, ie.: 6 people in the team = 1500 per day. The limit is about 1200 bricks per machine per day.

The most common use of the bricks is in making 6 inch walls for single story buildings. The coverage is 30 per square metre.

One version of the CEBM2 Machine makes 2 stock bricks (the max size 300 x 150 x 100mm) at a time. This machine can also be used to mould Clay Bricks for firing. Fired clay stock bricks are frequently moulded with a method called "slop moulding". This requires a lot of work and water. Using a 2-Brick Terrabric Machine saves a lot of work, water and waste. There is less srinkage as there is less water put into the brick in the first place. Some clays are unsuitable for slop moulding because they shrink too much, but they can be used if they are pressed into shape by a 2-Brick QMR2-40 Machine before firing. The 2-Up version is more expensive, heavier, harder to operate correctly and produces a lower volume of bricks per day, however it makes some projects viable where no other technology will work.
