Machines & equipment in Randfontein: local notes
Randfontein is a good place to start a small brick business: Mohlakeng and Toekomsrus have steady demand and space for a slab. An egg-laying machine with a maxi brick mould is the usual start, and a three phase static machine fits the stands in Aureus. If you build a slab near old mine ground, check it is firm. Second hand machines come up when mines and contractors close sites.
Randfontein: the building, the weather and the yards
Gold mining shaped Randfontein, and you can still see it in the mine dumps and open veld between the town and Westonaria. Today the brick demand comes mostly from Mohlakeng and Toekomsrus, where families add rooms, rental units and boundary walls, and from Greenhills and Randgate, where older houses are extended. Small brick-making yards are common on open stands in Mohlakeng, and some sell straight to builders on the same street. Larger yards sit along the R28 and in the Aureus industrial area. The western Highveld gets hard frost in winter, and summer storms are frequent, so fresh bricks need plastic cover and a slab that drains well.
The requests we see from Randfontein usually come from:
- Homeowners: making hollow blocks for a long boundary wall or a garage at home
- New brick-making businesses: a small block machine selling 140 mm blocks to local builders and homeowners
- Brickyards and block yards: adding hollow blocks to a brick range so builders buy everything in one place
