Welkom notes on machines & equipment
Many people in Thabong and Virginia have started brick yards with an egg-laying or manual machine after mine jobs ended. Used machines often come up for sale in the goldfields, so check the mould, tamper and vibrator motor before you buy. Ask suppliers about output with your mould and crew, power options and spares.
Welkom: the building, the weather and the yards
Welkom grew up on the Free State goldfields, and its mine houses, hostels and planned suburbs reflect that. With mining shrinking, much of the brick work now is people building and extending their own homes, especially in Thabong, where cement brick yards line many streets. Riebeeckstad and the older suburbs add rooms, garages and walls, and the maize and sunflower farms around Hennenman and Odendaalsrus need sheds and stores. Block yards in the industrial area serve builders across the goldfields, and machines and face bricks often come from Bloemfontein or Gauteng. Frost in winter and big summer storms both damage uncovered bricks, and the flat land makes drainage around new walls important.
Typical brick making machines requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a small machine to make your own bricks for a house, outbuilding or boundary wall
- New brick-making businesses: an egg-laying machine on a rented slab as the first step into brick making
- Brickyards and block yards: adding a second machine or a new mould to keep up with orders from builders
