So What Does Green Really Mean? The Vertical Block Press vs. The Horizontal Block Press |
In todays world of rising energy, labor and construction costs the Compressed Earth Block Machine provides a superior alternative to the environmentally considerate builder in all economic arenas. We offer an earth construction system that can enable you to economically produce high-quality building components using widely available raw material to build superior, quality buildings. |

The advantages of compressed or rammed earth blocks are many. Since the blocks are machine made they are uniform in size and, with some care, uniform in density. It is common practice to drystack (mortarless) 10" or thicker walls immediately upon ejection from the machine since the blocks are smooth and sharp cornered. This saves on mortar costs as well as handling and damage costs as the blocks are only handled once.

UPDATE |
||||||
|
In keeping with our commitment to provide the best machinery for the money we have restructured our design to a few basic platforms which will allow us a wider variety of performance levels as well as a pricing structure that will make machinery affordable in nearly every instance. |

We have had many requests for an inexpensive machine that will produce a small block (brick) that can be handled one handed. We now are offering the Brick Maker Series that produces a 4"(10cm) x 8"(20cm) x 6"(15cm) block. This machine is available in manual as well as fully automatic starting at just $9,434.00 US We are excited about the new 4 x 8 Brickmaker. The bricks are very easy to handle and the machine works beautifully! We also have also added the Block Maker Series that produces a 4"(10cm) x 12"(30cm) x 6"(15cm) block, also available in manual as well as fully automatic starting at just $10,494.00 US. These machines will also be available in metric block sizes. |
