Manual 1-Drop Hollow Block Machine, Lever Press

Description

Overview

This manual hollow block machine uses a lever to press one hollow cement block per drop. The operator fills the mould, pulls the lever to compact the mix, then releases the finished block onto the slab or a board to cure.

The lever gives much more force than pressing by hand, so blocks come out firmer and more even. It is still fully manual, so it works anywhere without a plug. For double the output, the manual 2-drop hollow block machine is the next size up.

Key features

• Lever-operated press
• One hollow block per drop
• No motor, no fuel, no wiring
• Steel frame for site use
• Few wearing parts to look after

Where it works

A manual hollow block machine suits sites far from power in Limpopo and the Eastern Cape, farms building pump houses and stores, and small brickyards starting out with hollow blocks for local builders. Set it on firm, level ground near your mix. If customers also want walling blocks with a different shape, the manual 3-drop V block machine fits alongside it. See all brick making machines.

A lever machine rewards a steady rhythm. Put one person on the mixer, one on filling and pressing, and one carrying to the curing area, and output climbs quickly. Grease the pivot points weekly, scrape the mould clean at the end of each day, and measure cement by the bucket so every batch matches the last.
