Paving Machine for Sale: Paving Brick Machine Quotes

A paving machine on this site means a machine that makes paving bricks, not one that lays them. Pavers are thinner than bricks but must be dense and hard-wearing, so the mould is vibrated hard to pack the mix before the paver is released. Small yards use manual drop machines, electric egg-layers with paver moulds or vibrating tables with plastic moulds; bigger yards run hydraulic presses. Tell us the pavers you want to make and the power you have, and independent paving brick machine suppliers will send free quotes, with no obligation.

Types of paving brick machine

Manual drop machines: a lever machine making about four interlocking pavers per drop, with no power needed.
Electric egg-layers with paver moulds: they lay rows of pavers onto a slab, like a brick making machine.
Vibrating tables: a flat table that shakes filled plastic or rubber moulds, good for colours and decorative shapes in small runs.
Hydraulic and static presses: pressure plus vibration for dense pavers in volume.

Many machines also take kerb, edging and retaining wall block moulds.

Choosing a paving bricks machine

Start with the pavers your market lays. A 200 x 100 mm interlocker in 50 or 60 mm suits paths and patios; driveways and anything with traffic need 80 mm, which takes stronger vibration and a sturdier mould. Decide on plain grey or coloured, since colour needs pigment, careful batching and clean moulds. Check whether other shapes can be fitted later. Ask the supplier for the output with your mould, mix and crew: a vibrating table depends on how many moulds you own and how fast you can strip them.

Making strong pavers that last

Pavers take more wear than any other concrete product, so the mix and compaction matter most. Use clean, well graded sand and stone, keep the water low and vibrate until the surface closes. Cure pavers damp and shaded for about the first week before stacking. Pavers sold for driveways and roads should meet SANS 1058 for concrete paving blocks; have a few tested. Common mistakes: wet mixes that slump and crack, under-vibrated edges that chip and selling pavers before they have cured. See paving bricks for how they are laid and used.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a paving machine for sale in South Africa?

Published prices start at about R5,500 for a new manual four-drop paving machine, about R9,000 to R37,500 for electric paving machines and up to about R57,000 for a 220V interlocking paver machine. Moulds, a mixer and delivery may be extra, so ask for a full written quote before you compare.

How many pavers make a square metre?

With 200 x 100 mm pavers you need about 50 per square metre, plus about 5% for cuts and breakage. A 30 m² driveway takes roughly 1,575 pavers, which gives you a feel for how many your machine must make for a single order, and how many moulds or drops that means.

What paver thickness should I make for driveways?

Pavers come in 50, 60 and 80 mm. Thinner pavers suit paths, patios and pool surrounds; driveways and areas with cars or trucks need thicker pavers on a well compacted base. If you plan to sell to paving contractors doing driveways, buy a machine and mould that pack 80 mm pavers well.

Can a brick machine make pavers?

Often, yes. Many egg-laying and static brick machines take paver moulds, though thick pavers need strong vibration. Ask the supplier whether your machine's motors can pack an 80 mm paver properly, and what output they get with a paver mould and a crew your size. We pass your request to suppliers; we sell nothing ourselves.
