THE EARTH BLOCK PROCESS

 

A Word on Machine Selection

There are several manufacturers of pressed earth machines. Some utilize side-press technology while others press from the top or the bottom. The machines vary radically in size, rate of block production and cost. Carefully shopping for a pressed earth machine is important, not only due to the aforementioned considerations, but also to ensure a machine selection appropriate to the geography of the region involved. A machine that is too large, top heavy, or that lacks adequate road clearance would not be a desirable choice for rough terrain.

Here at Earth Block, Inc. we have done your homework for you, through trial and error. We know what machines work and don't work, why some blocks are inferior to others and who is making the best block available today. Contact us at earthblock@juno.com and we'll set up a time for a consultation.
