Why ISSB(Interlocking Soil Stabilized Brick)
ISSB has numerous benefits for
construction industry.
One of the advantages of ISSB is that they
can be dry-stacked with minimal mortar, which increases the speed of
construction.
This building system has been extensively
tested for structural strength and durability, as well as for fire, rain and
sound resistance.
The ISSB manual press machines only use three
inputs namely soil that can be sourced at the site, a small amount of cement
that provides stability for the blocks and water. Sometimes sand is used where
clay content is too high. As a result, the machines are ideal for sites where
transport cost for cement and sand is high.
They are eco-friendly, cost-saving
alternative to conventional vibration machine. ISSB machines are available in
different mould sizes. Depending on the size the machine has the capacity to
produce between 500- 11520 blocks per eight-hour shift.
The machines are
relatively labor intensive, requiring about two-six operators depending on the
machine model. This creates employment opportunities and allows skill transfer.
With the
depletion of our natural resources worldwide there was greater concern for the
sustainability of whatever action we carry out. Rural areas have traditionally
built homes, schools and other building using either compressed-mud bricks
leavened with cement, mortared together and dried in wood-fired kilns or using
wood and twigs from young trees woven together and smeared with mud or cow
dung.
The bricks and the twigs have contributed to massive deforestation in
the world. The bricks themselves are often irregular and poorly made or even
poorly burned. Cement and mortar can make good housing in the villages very
expensive and many tend to opt for traditional methods of construction. ISSB
allow for quick and efficient construction of housing units and other buildings
and water tanks.
We believe ISSB is an environmentally sound practice that has minimal
impact on our natural resources. So the ‘footprint’ of what we will strive to do will
unquestionably be very minimal. Interlocking Stabilized Soil Block machines we at
CGK MACHINE manufacture come in automatic and manual options and are excellent
machines with good service back up and compete favorably with the South African
Hydra form machine which is very expensive to import and has little service
back up.

CGK Machine believes all sustainable progress is driven by
people with the imagination and determination to improve their future and the
futures of those around them. We empower people and organizations to realize
their own vision for a better future however modest or grand.
Our purpose therefore is: Empowering people to
stay a step ahead in life and in business
As a block making Machine company, our past still remains an integral part of
our business. By keeping abreast of advancements in technology and design we
have successfully completed and handed over block making machines among others.
At CGK Machine we understand the importance of interface management and
ensure effective communication at all project levels our project success
correlates directly with the effort put forth prior to building our machine.
That’s true whether it’s a remodel, renovation, and new models of machines.
Been involved during the early stages of decision making ensures we reap
significant benefits. It’s here that we strike unbeatable partnerships with
design team and the owner-creating quality solutions while remaining true to
the project parameters.
