Machines & equipment in Newcastle: local notes
Small yards in Madadeni, Osizweni and Blaauwbosch often run electric egg-laying machines on a home slab, and engine driven ones on farm plots. Frost is the main risk in winter: make bricks in the morning, cover them before evening and keep them damp, not frozen. Engineering workshops in the industrial area can repair frames, so a second hand machine is a reasonable start if the mould is sound.
Newcastle: the building, the weather and the yards
Coal and steel country in northern KwaZulu-Natal has a long history of brickmaking, and Newcastle sits right in it. Madadeni and Osizweni grow by the street, with new rooms, family houses and boundary walls built in cement blocks and maxi bricks, while the older town has many face brick homes. The town gets cold, frosty winters and hard summer thunderstorms, so fresh cement bricks need covering in both seasons. Block yards, hardware stores and small backyard brickmakers supply most jobs, and engineering workshops in the industrial area can repair machines. Deliveries to farms around Utrecht and Dannhauser take a little longer, so plan loads ahead and check the farm road.
Typical brick making plants requests in the area 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
- Brickyards and block yards: moving from single machines to an automated line to meet bigger orders
