The First topic from the module 5 of Alternative Building Materials, 6 th sem, CBCS SCHEME civil Engineering......The modern Equipments which are used for the manufacturing of stabilised mud block and it includes the the workinf of the equipments to small extent.

1. .

2. Aureka in collabotation with the Auroville Earth Institute developed
the original Auram 3000 Earth Block Press in 1990 (named after
the “rammed earth” construction technique, a precursor to
machine-compressed blocks).
Since then the mud brick press has been the subject of continuing
Research & Development, and has been considerably improved. It
has proved ideal for builders utilising earth architecture, earth
construction and appropriate building technologies without
compromising the highest standards of quality, strength and
durability.

4.  A semi-automatic earth block press with a practical output of
300-350 full blocks or 600-700 half blocks per hour. The
design is based on the successful design of the Auram Press
3000. A maximum of 20 metric tons peak force on the block
surface is achieved with a minimum amount electrical or
diesel power.

5. During operation the lid of the mold is closed automatically,
pre-compressingthe earth within the mold. Then with a
single command the primary hydraulic cylinder compresses
the block from the bottom, opens the lid and ejects the block.
With the secondary cylinder the hopper brings the fresh
earth mix to the mold and pushes the finished block onto the
out-feed table. With further commands machine is brought
back to the “start position” and the cycle continues.The
Auram press ships with our standard block molds.

7. Fully automatic motorized hydraulic press with all
machine functions controlled by microprocessor. The
Auram Press 4000 is capable of producing one full
block or two half blocks every six seconds (600 full
blocks or 1200 half blocks per hour). It is well suited
for continuous operation in a commercial block yard for
high-volume block making for major construction
projects

9. The Auramix 5000 is a cost effective and
productive metering / mixing solution, which
continuously delivers a homogeneous, moist, earth,
and stabilizer mixture suitable for compressed
stabilized mud block (CSMB) production at a rate of up
to 7 m3 per hour, resulting in higher quality CSMB, at
faster production rates, versus outmoded batch
mixers.

11. A mechanized crusher can take your operation to a higher
level of efficiency and productivity, freeing up your
valuable human resources for more creative and less
back-breaking work. Rock crushing machines are
available from other manufacturers, but rock crushers are
very heavy and difficult to transport and maneuver on-site;
they are expensive, require a great deal of power, and are
thus expensive to operate.

12. The Auram Crusher however has been specifically
designed for CSMB production projects. The Auram
Crusher is light enough for a small crew to load onto a
trailer for transportation, and is easily maneuverable on
the job site, either manually by a small crew, or by towing
with a tractor (at or below 20 km/ hr.)
