Great descriptions of both machines.

Great video again. Keep up the great work Sir

I have subscribed. You have great details. Can you talk about U block technology as well

[@jamiesomma2566]

Great job! Very helpful. Just one note: the letter S in CSEB stands for Stabilized, not Soil.

[@angellowagz2207]

Thank you for the video and insight. how many standard blocks does 6:1 make? instead of the 6inch block what is the wide block used for? ie applications

[@PropertyNoma]

The wide format blocks are used for walling but because they're thicker, they use up more soil

[@awayfrommountelgon5711]

Great

Six months back , you had promised a seperate special video, showing how curved blocks are actually produced , to my request at that time. Please do needful at your earliest, thanking you

[@wayne_3791]

Not very demanding of you! ......pfffft so entitled.

[@111jacare]

@ Ravindra Karandikar: If you have a look at one of his other videos, which, I am not able to find, there is actually 3 machines that are used to produce the different bricks. One is set up as a curved block making machine, with a curved mold in the machine. What upsets me is that you have to buy the 3 separate machines to do each block. As was said elsewhere, I am in the process of building my own machine. Am setting it up to be able to make different products and different sizes.

[@chinabrickmachine666]

A detailed video, but I calculate it is 12-14s per cycle for the hydraulic brick making machine, so 2050-2400bricks per day

Where can I find this machine? I need to buy

[@PastolaMuriungi-sm4dd]

One bag of cement is mixed by how many wheelbarrows of soil and approximate of how many liters of water?

[@sainiamarjeet]

for manual machine since productivity is limited hence increase the size of block to double the size to 2x2ft with 8 or 10 inch width

[@tupG]

But the muscle power to pull the lever will also be twice as high. No real saving here.

[@sainiamarjeet]

@@tupG u can try and see the difference since larger 24x12x8inch block has saving in lower joint leading to lower mortar, faster construction, cleaner finish hence can directly use 0.5 inch thick lime putty as paint cum plaster to save money over conventional 9x4x3inch bricks and to reduce weight can make it hollow by having 2inch walls of block to have 4inch air gap to act as natural insulation

[@tupG]

@@sainiamarjeet I only responded to the productivity of the machine itself. That larger blocks have advantages, as you rightly pointed out, is a different topic.

[@danojal]

1. Prroducing 400 has been impossible. I 3 guys the sieve the day before and still i get 160 at most. 2. How can i know have the perfect soil, when you rub the brick it shades off 3. Can you used stone dust and cememt and does it matter which type 32.5 or 42.5

[@samsonolal4399]

Between cement n sand to cement and soil, which more stronger.

[@PropertyNoma]

Sand isn't suitable because it has a lot air gaps and can't bond properly with cement. So it's cement and soil

[@ravindrakarandikar4898]

I wish to know curved block machine takes out curved blocks. How curve block die works.

Hopefully I can find a project using curved blocks and make a video for you

[@krishnachaitanyabhagavatul750]

How much compressive strength for each block could you achieve ??? With manual and hydraulic compression???

[@michaelmuthami3335]

Try checking Ministry of housing offices in your area. Embu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Nyeri have the hydrafoam machines. Accessing the machines should be free but you will need to hire labour

[@davebog3575]

Thanks but you have not talked about the quality of blocks for each machine type.

[@PropertyNoma]

The hydraulic machine produces a higher quality block because of the higher compression force

[@alettekemou4007]

Super!! Où on peut avoir cette machine ? Je suis en Côte d'Ivoire merci

[@Jennibak]

Can I mix soil, sand and cement?

[@PropertyNoma]

Not sand, just suitable soil and cement. Typical mixing ratio 5-10% cement to 90-95% soil

[@seymorepoohtang3080]

I use 5.5 parts sand, 3.5 parts clay, 1 part Portland cement. I use masonry sand. It works great! Takes 21 days to cure and I place them in a tub filled with water the entire time. This stabilizes the block for areas that have snow or high moisture/rainfall.

How much is the hydraulic ISSB machine?

[@PropertyNoma]

Around 13000 rands at the time of publishing the video. Check out Hydraform's website for more information

[@billwest5686]

Realistically speaking I don't think it's possible to put out 400 blocks a day using the manual machine cause I use a wide ISSB machine and I can produce around 150 a day for now which is a hustle, no joke. So I would really like to know how to put out as much as 500 a day, what's the secret?

[@seymorepoohtang3080]

3 guys… 2 mixing the clay, sand and Portland and one guy pressing the block. We were doing about 430 per 8hrs. By yourself doing 150 is a ball busting venture.

[@111jacare]

One of the problems with the hydrualic machine was shown in that video. Variation of length of the block / brick. As for needing 3 machines to make the bricks, someone has not done their engineering properly. The new machine that I am getting commissioned will be able to make 4 or 5 block types from the one unit, and 3 or 4 blocks at the one time. Many people have not done their homework on the construction of the machines!

[@noahsherman4542]

Which machine make and model makes more than one kind

[@111jacare]

@@noahsherman4542: The one that I am making myself! I have seen the Chinese efforts for the single brick machines, and the ones on here, and am not impressed. Even here, requiring 3 machines to make individual bricks, to me, is a waste of resources and money! It is going to take me several months, but, when it is up and running, it should be a great machine to observe in action, run by one person. If I can set it up properly, I should be able to produce 400 mould fills, on my own, per day. Bearing in mind that it is going to be producing a mixture of 400 * 200 square interlocking blocks and 300 * 150 * 100 CSEB. It will also mean that I have to run two different mixes, as both of the products are a different mixture. Facility is also there that a 250 * 125 * 70 / 100 CSEB can be produced as well, from the same machine! I will not run the tongue and groove type block, as they are not able to be vertically stabilised in the wall, nor is there facility to deliver the power / gas / water / comms in the wall without cutting into the bricks, which damages the structual integrity of the wall. Estimate at this time is a June / July 2023 start, so keep an eyeball peeled around that time!
