Compressed Earthen Blocks
Compressed Earthen blocks are made from local soils with around 30% clay, local soils, sand and where possible landfill waste, like builders rubble, as a component of the block.
These blocks can cost much less than standard building blocks and are much more thermally and structurally efficient than “Breeze Blocks” or “Cinder Blocks”. The R Factor, Insulation, of a standard block is about 3. The R Factor of a Compressed Earthen block is around 30.
Compressed earthen blocks do not require skilled mortar technicians to install them, delivering a faster and cheaper building process. They are bonded by the use of a liquid slurry, made from the same soil as the blocks and water. The slurry will form an unbreakable bond in 24 hours.
One “Set” of Compressed Earthen Blocks/CEB's consists of two block compression machines and one soil mixing machine. A “Set” of our equipment will make about 4000 to 5000 blocks per day or between 1.0 and 1.5 million per year.
