Middelburg notes on machines & equipment
A manual brick machine or a small electric egg-layer is how many Mhluzi brick businesses begin, selling to neighbours building rooms. Farmers sometimes buy a block machine to make their own blocks for sheds. Ask the supplier about moulds for maxi bricks, blocks and pavers, the power needed, and output with your mould and crew. Plan a covered curing area because of the frost.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Middelburg
Frost on winter mornings is the first thing a Middelburg brick maker plans around. Cement bricks made on a slab in June need covering overnight, or the surface flakes and the strength never comes. The town builds steadily: family homes and townhouses in Aerorand and Kanonkop, RDP and self-built houses in Mhluzi, workshops for the steel works and mines, and farm sheds and staff houses out on the Hendrina and Belfast roads. Brickyards and block yards in town carry stock and clay face bricks come in from bigger works. Plenty of people start a small brick business here with a manual or electric machine. Ask for delivery with offloading if the site is a farm or a narrow township street.
The requests we see from Middelburg usually come from:
- Homeowners: rarely needed for a house; plants supply the yards that homeowners buy from
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: a contractor setting up its own plant for a steady stream of large jobs
- Farms and smallholdings: a plant on farm land with its own sand, supplying a growing district
Local tips for Middelburg
Common here: stock bricks for houses, blocks for farm sheds and workshops, face brick fronts. Ask each supplier or contractor about this: ask how the yard protects fresh bricks from frost before they leave the slab. Where they work from: brickyards and block yards in the town industrial area and on the main routes in.
Around Middelburg the largest group asking is homeowners, which usually means rarely needed for a house; plants supply the yards that homeowners buy from. Before you agree to anything: test units to SANS 1215 or SANS 1058. Getting stock here: town yards deliver by truck; clay face bricks are trucked in from works further away.
