Bloemfontein notes on machines & equipment
Bloemfontein is a good place to buy a brick machine, with sellers carrying egg-laying and static machines, moulds and mixers. Small yards in Botshabelo, Thaba Nchu and Mangaung often start with one egg-layer and a slab. Ask about output with your mould and crew, power needs, spares and frost covers for winter curing.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Bloemfontein
Frost is a winter fact of life for Bloemfontein builders, and the city has a big, steady brick trade. Suburbs such as Langenhoven Park, Brandwag and the estates around Bainsvlei add homes, townhouses and boundary walls, often in face brick. In Mangaung and Heidedal families extend with cement bricks and blocks, and Botshabelo and Thaba Nchu build homes and rooms with blocks from local yards. Brickyards, block yards and machine sellers sit in the industrial areas, and the city is a supply base for much of the Free State. Cement bricks made in winter need covering on frosty nights, and summer storms hit hard. Pit sand from around the city feeds yards and sites.
The requests we see from Bloemfontein usually come from:
- Homeowners: making hollow blocks for a long boundary wall or a garage at home
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: blocks made on site for boundary walls, outbuildings and quick structural walls
- Housing developers and complexes: a static block machine supplying blocks for estate walls and housing phases
Local tips for Bloemfontein
Yards and suppliers serving Bloemfontein mostly work from here: brickyards, block yards and machine sellers in the city's industrial areas. The requests that come up most: face brick for estates, cement bricks and blocks for Mangaung and Botshabelo. When you ask for quotes, ask how the yard covers fresh bricks on frosty nights in winter.
Block Making Machines usually suit block yards, builders and housing projects, made or supplied like this: coarse mix vibrated and tamped in a mould. For homeowners, the biggest group here, that usually means making hollow blocks for a long boundary wall or a garage at home. On the weather side: hard winter frost on fresh bricks; violent summer thunderstorms.
