Description

This complete hydraulic system and process is designed to make blocks where a structure is to be built, eliminating material transport costs. The raw material to produce Compressed Stabilized Earth Blocks is primarily sub soil earth, the earth must be free of vegetable matter, and consistent in its nature. The recommended soil composition for Compressed Stabilized Earth Blocks as per literature is Sand about 65-75%, Fines (Silt + Clay) - 25 %. Recommended Clay not more than 10-15%. These recommendations are based on taking Cement as stabilizer and its content to be around 8 -10%. Dry bulk cement is added to the subsoil at a rate of 10-15%, and the natural moisture in the sub soil sets off the chemical reaction of the cement, binding with the soil under the pressure created within the press. New Zealand has a standard for using earth as a medium for building, so an initial run of blocks is used for the tests described in NZS 4297 (Materials and workmanship for Earth Buildings), and building techniques and methods must comply with NZS 4298 (requiring specific design) and 4299 (Not requiring specific design). 30 days drying time is required before the blocks can be laid in the direction of compression. The set of photographs show the equipment and process to produce Compressed Stabilized Earth Blocks

Questions & Answers (1)

  • Are these certified bricks and are people allowed to build with them leone24g (1) • 2:56 pm, Sat, 19 Jul Yes, and yes. Please reference NZ standards , 4297, 4298, and 4299. I highly recommend these standards for further information about certifying and building. There are 4 or 5 houses in Opotiki that were built with this machine. The machine has since been refurbished, and other equipment added. kjm13 (40) • Saturday, 19 July 2025
