Kimberley notes on machines & equipment
Cement brick yards in Galeshewe and Roodepan often run egg-laying machines on a slab, and buyers in Ritchie and Barkly West look for manual or diesel machines for small runs. Ask the supplier about trucking the machine to Kimberley, spares held locally, output with your mould and crew, and how to cure in hard heat.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Kimberley
Distance is the first thing to plan for when building in Kimberley. The diamond city is far from the big brick and machine makers, so face bricks, specialist blocks and new machines often arrive by long-haul truck, and delivery is a large part of the price. Locally, cement brick yards in Galeshewe and Roodepan sell maxi bricks and blocks for family homes and rooms, and block yards in town supply builders. Older suburbs keep clay brick houses from the mining years, and owners extending them want a close match. Summers are very hot and dry, so fresh bricks need shade, water and plastic, and winter nights bring frost. Sand is mostly from local pits and the rivers.
The requests we see from Kimberley 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
- Municipalities, schools and public works: skills and youth projects learning brick making with simple equipment
Local tips for Kimberley
Common here: cement maxi bricks for Galeshewe homes, face brick to match older suburbs. Ask each supplier or contractor about this: ask for the delivery cost to Kimberley as a separate line on every quote. Where they work from: block yards in town and cement brick yards in Galeshewe and Roodepan.
Manual Brick Machines usually suit start-ups, farms, villages and home builders, made or supplied like this: lever and tamper compact a damp mix. For homeowners, the biggest group here, that usually means making bricks yourself for a backyard room, boundary wall or outside toilet. On the weather side: very hot dry summers dry bricks fast; frost on clear winter nights.
