Bloemfontein notes on machines & equipment

Bloemfontein is a good place to buy a brick machine, with sellers carrying egg-laying and static machines, moulds and mixers. Small yards in Botshabelo, Thaba Nchu and Mangaung often start with one egg-layer and a slab. Ask about output with your mould and crew, power needs, spares and frost covers for winter curing.

Bloemfontein: the building, the weather and the yards

Frost is a winter fact of life for Bloemfontein builders, and the city has a big, steady brick trade. Suburbs such as Langenhoven Park, Brandwag and the estates around Bainsvlei add homes, townhouses and boundary walls, often in face brick. In Mangaung and Heidedal families extend with cement bricks and blocks, and Botshabelo and Thaba Nchu build homes and rooms with blocks from local yards. Brickyards, block yards and machine sellers sit in the industrial areas, and the city is a supply base for much of the Free State. Cement bricks made in winter need covering on frosty nights, and summer storms hit hard. Pit sand from around the city feeds yards and sites.

The requests we see from Bloemfontein usually come from:

• Homeowners: making bricks yourself for a backyard room, boundary wall or outside toilet
• Builders and bricklaying contractors: a cheap second machine for small rural sites where there is no power
• Housing developers and complexes: lever presses for labour-based housing projects that train local teams
