THE BRICK FACTORY™
Now you can make your own bricks and tiles for much less than what you'd pay for them at the local home improvement store. The Brick Factory is a smaller version of our air/hydraulic compressed earth block press, designed to produce a pair of perfectly sized bricks measuring 4-1/4" x 8-3/4" x 2". Bricks are  made using common "sand mix" (Portland cement and sand) available at your local building center. Fill the hopper with a measured amount of moist sand mix, close the lid and press the air valve. In 30 seconds you'll have two perfect bricks.

To make tiles, simply remove the brick insert. Tiles can be up to 2" thick, but 1" is sufficient for most applications.

If "Portland Gray" isn't your favorite color, you can add a concrete coloring agent to the mix. Commonly available colors are red, brown and tan; check with your local building center for other colors.

Ergonomically designed, The Brick Factory stands 36" tall when mounted on its optional stand, a comfortable height that virtually eliminates back strain. An air compressor capable of delivering 5 CFM at 90 to 100 PSI (not included) is required to drive the 12-ton air/hydraulic jack. All steel construction, built to last a lifetime with minimal maintenance. Painted Safety Yellow for high visibility and to prevent rust.
