Midrand notes on machines & equipment
Ivory Park and Kaalfontein have many stands where a small egg-laying machine sells cement bricks straight to the street. The industrial stands around Olifantsfontein and Commercia suit a larger static machine or a small plant with a pan mixer. Smallholdings in Glen Austin and Blue Hills can take an engine driven machine where three phase power is not available. Ask the supplier which moulds come standard and what spares they keep.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Midrand
Halfway between Johannesburg and Pretoria, Midrand has grown on the open land along the N1, and much of the building is new: estates in Waterfall, Kyalami and Carlswald, rows of sectional title complexes in Noordwyk and Vorna Valley, and office and logistics parks near Allandale Road. To the east, Ivory Park, Ebony Park and Rabie Ridge add rooms and rental units in cement bricks bought from small yards or made on the stand. Developers order face brick and plaster bricks in bulk, so ask about the full order up front for colour. Yards sit around Olifantsfontein, Kaalfontein and Halfway House. The ridges catch wind that dries fresh bricks fast in spring, and summer storms here can be violent.
The requests we see from Midrand usually come from:
- Housing developers and complexes: several mixers or a pan mixer for housing phases and on-site block making
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: a 350 litre site mixer for foundations, mortar and slabs on every job
- Homeowners: a small electric mixer for paths, steps, slabs and mortar for a garden wall

Concrete Mixers usually suit brickyards, builders, farms and homeowners, made or supplied like this: rotating drum, or a pan with paddles. For housing developers and complexes, the biggest group here, that usually means several mixers or a pan mixer for housing phases and on-site block making. On the weather side: dry spring winds and violent summer storms; keep fresh bricks damp and covered.
