Machines & equipment in Kariega: local notes
Kariega's manufacturing base means engineering workshops can repair frames and weld moulds, which helps small yards keep machines running. Many start-ups in KwaNobuhle begin with an electric egg-laying machine and a mixer on a home slab. Heat and wind mean curing is the main skill: shade cloth, water and patience. A second hand machine can often be found locally; check the mould and vibrator motor first.
Kariega: the building, the weather and the yards
Car factories and their suppliers give Kariega its industrial side, and the housing around them keeps brickyards busy. KwaNobuhle and Langa grow with new rooms, houses and boundary walls in cement blocks and maxi bricks, while the older town has face brick homes and some fine old buildings. Kariega sits inland of Gqeberha, so it is drier and hotter in summer, with less salt but strong wind, both of which dry fresh cement bricks too quickly. Sand comes from pits in the area, and block yards in town and nearby Despatch supply most jobs. Small brickmakers in KwaNobuhle make blocks for their own streets, often on a home slab.
Typical second hand brick machines requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a cheap used press for making bricks for one building project at home
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: a used machine to make bricks on a remote site, sold on afterwards
- Brickyards and block yards: an extra used machine to cover busy months, or one bought for spare parts
