MULTIVIBE & HAND POWERED BUILDING MATERIAL PRODUCTS ROMAN II/PANTILE ROOFING TILES – MV PLANT Lightweight concrete tiles provide a high quality, low cost roof. The roof is much cooler to live under than steel sheets and is quiet during thunderstorms. Water collected from the roof will also be clean enough for drinking. A concrete tile roof is very durable as the tiles are unaffected by corrosion. The small format versions – Pantiles/Roman II – need a batten spacing of 40cm.
TILE SHAPES Roman II – is specially designed for tropical climates. A smart, close fitting tile which is fully proven even in hurricanes. This machine will produce 12 tiles per square metre. Pantile – is a traditional shape made to cope with uneven roof structures. A highly versatile product which, like the Roman II will produce 12 tiles per square metre.
Hand Powered and Electric versions are available along with a Dual Power version (the latter at extra cost) Electric version Electric version

MULTIVIBE & HAND POWERED BUILDING MATERIALS PRODUCTS
Only 8 Super Roman tiles are required per square metre and the batten spacing is at 50cm. Super Roman tiles have a deep water channel and large overlap which enables them to be used on low pitch roofs and also provide a roof which has a higher performance in extreme weather conditions.
SUPER ROMAN ROOFING TILES – SR PLANT
Super Roman tiles are usually made in 8mm thickness, but 10mm tiles can be produced using an alternative screeding frame. Compared to Roman II and Pantiles, the cost per square metre of roof will usually be lower for Super Romans due to the reduced use of construction timber. These tiles provide a very attractive alternative to other types of roofing. The scale of production depends upon the number of moulds supplied with each machine and the number of workers employed. In practice, a single machine will usually be able to produce a maximum of 300 tiles in an 8-hour working day, employing 4 workers. Typical plants usually include quantities of moulds in the region of 100, 200 or 300 per machine producing 500, 1000 or 1500 tiles per week. Other quantities can be supplied upon request.
Four different types of machines are available for this plant: a) Plain Table Top Unit (TTU), b) Table Top with workstation – which brings the vibrating table up to working height, c) Table Top with workstation and hopper – a raised container to hold mortar within easy reach of the operator.
Hand Powered and Electric versions are available
NOTE: Pantiles and Roman II tiles can be made on the Super Roman machine by using smaller screeding frames and moulds. If incorporating a large format vibrating table, Super Roman tile plants will also be able to produce Parry SemiSheets.
A typical Super Roman plant consists of: A) Screeding machine with Multivibe B) Accessory pack C) 100 Super Roman mould tops usually supplied with wooden frames and interface sheets. Ridge tile equipment is included.

MULTIVIBE & HAND POWERED BUILDING MATERIALS PRODUCTS QUALITY CONTROL EQUIPMENT
Quality Control Jig – Usually a standard item in Roman II/Pantile and Super Roman plants. The QC jig is used to examine the shape of tiles after they have been demoulded to check they have been correctly placed on the moulds. The jig can also be used for final quality control of finished products.
Strength tester – Roman II/Pantile – A handy strength tester is available for smaller roof tiles, consisting of a framework to hold the tile and a loading beam which includes weighing scales. This can be supplied with or without a stand.
Strength tester – Super Roman/Semi Sheets – The larger tiles are more suited to strength testing by the direct placement of a load onto the tile or sheet. For this purpose, a shaped loading beam is provided which can be used with measured sacks of cement or sand to test the breaking strength of Parry roofing products.
Impact test – A simple impact tester can be provided consisting of a large steel ball -bearing, which is dropped onto tiles from a measured height. Many customers carry out this test by just dropping a two-pound hammer on to the tile. 12
MULTIVIBE & HAND POWERED BUILDING MATERIALS PRODUCTS RIDGES AND OTHER ROOFING DETAILS STANDARD RIDGE TILE – Standard ridge moulds can be supplied with Parry plants. They are made on a fixed mould set for a roof pitch of 22 degrees and can produce either two small ridges from a Roman II/ Pantile machine or a simple large ridge from Super Roman/Semi Sheet machines. The ridge moulds can be stacked to save space.
Overlapping Vari-Angle Ridge Tile – This product is more flexible and able to deal with a great variety of roofing designs. The tiles are produced on a hinged mould with inserts to create an overlapping effect between ridge tiles. These tiles can be made at any angle to suit various ridges and hips.
Top Row Tile (Dry Ridge) - A special tool is supplied to modify the tiles used in the top row of the roof by filling the channel, thereby providing a flat surface for the ridge tile to rest upon.
Standard Hip Tile – A modified ridge mould for hips and low-angle roofs.
Valley Tile – A special mould is available to produce a thick valley tile, an alternative to using steel flashing.
Edge Tile – A special fitting is available for Roman II/Pantile tiles to enable them to overlap the edges of a roof giving a superior appearance and protection to the timber structure. Super Roman and Semi Sheet tiles provide a measure of overlap, but special edge tiles can be supplied if required.
Double Nib Tile – For exposed edges of roofs, it is recommended that double nib tiles are used. These are produced on a standard machine with an additional special tool for double nib fixings. The special tiles can be attached to both the upper and lower battens making them secure in extreme weather conditions.

MULTIVIBE & HAND POWERED BUILDING MATERIALS PRODUCTS High quality concrete blocks can be made either hollow or solid using the same moulds. Mechanical vibration is used to produce high density blocks with a low water content. High structural strength can be achieved with low cement content. Blocks are 390mm long, 190mm deep with three alternative thickness’ - 100, 140 and 200mm.
PLAIN BUILDING BLOCKS BLP PLANT (ELECTRIC)
The blocks have a hard wearing surface and a smooth texture compared to most blocks, reducing the need for internal plastering. The number of blocks which can be produced depends upon the number of Multivibes and moulds supplied, as well as the number of workers employed. The block mould is a casting mould, which means the mould is removed whilst the concrete is still wet, allowing the mould to be used repeatedly during the same day. The steel moulds are filled with concrete, vibrated, turned over and removed, leaving the block standing on the floor. In practice, one Multivibe with one block mould will produce over 100 blocks per day, with a possibility of increasing this to 160-200 blocks per day with the addition of a further mould. Here, two workers would be required to take turns to use the Multivibe whilst the other de-moulds. Other workers may be required for mixing etc.
Hand Powered production uses a large format vibrating table of the same type which produces roofing Semi-Sheets
4, 6 and 8 inch are the standard block sizes available. The 4 inch blocks are intended as an economical material for internal walls, 6 inch blocks can be used for both internal and external walls and the 8 inch blocks are an alternative for use in external walls. Other moulds are available from Parry Associates which can be employed with the Multivibe. These include moulds for the production of Water Tanks with an internal diameter of 2m, 3m or 4m. Also moulds for the production of screen blocks and other more decorative items such as patterned walling blocks and balustrades are available.
A typical Block plant consists of: A) Multivibe vibrator B) Small accessory pack C) Block moulds – ‘4 inch’ (100mm), ‘6 inch’ (140mm) and ‘8 inch’ (200mm) D) The packing case can be used as a work table. NOTE: Non-standard sized moulds are available on request.

The blocks have a hard wearing surface and a smooth texture compared to most blocks, reducing the need for internal plastering. The number of blocks which can be produced depends upon the number of vibrators and moulds supplied, as well as the number of workers employed. The block mould is a casting mould which means the mould is removed whilst the concrete is still wet, allowing the mould to be used repeatedly the same day. The steel moulds are filled with concrete, vibrated, turned over and removed, leaving the blocks standing on the floor. In practice, one vibrator with two moulds will produce over 200 blocks per day, with a possibility of increasing this to 320-400 blocks per day with the addition of a further two moulds. An additional worker would be required to fill one pair of moulds whilst the other is demoulding. Further workers may be required for mixing etc.

MULTIVIBE & HAND POWERED BUILDING MATERIALS PRODUCTS WATER TANK BLPW PLANT Specially shaped, curved, and interlocking concrete blocks for Water Tank construction, which are produced using mechanical vibration. They can be made with a low cement content, but still achieve high structural strength. Water Tanks can be built mostly without the need to use reinforcement and are very durable. The durability of Parry Multivibe tanks surpass that of steel or steel-reinforced tanks because they do not contain corrodable materials. Also, Multivibe tanks do not contaminate their contents, so it is possible to collect and store drinking water. Water Tank production with Multivibe interlocking blocks does not require special materials or skills. To construct a tank holding 6,000 litres should take as little as 2-3 days. The blocks are also useful for well construction and components for pit latrines. Other applications include cattle troughs, culverts, arches and vaults.
The block mould is a casting mould, which means the mould is removed whilst the concrete is still wet, allowing the mould to be used repeatedly during the same day. The steel moulds are filled with concrete, vibrated and removed, leaving the block standing on the floor. In practice, one Multivibe with one mould will produce around 80-100 blocks per day, with a possibility of increasing this to 160-200 blocks per day with the addition of a further mould.
A typical Water Tank block plant consists of: A) Multivibe vibrator B) Small accessory pack and C) One of three different water tank moulds – 2m, 3m or 4m. An additional demould-assist accessory is available where producers have to work with extra-sticky materials. 17

MULTIVIBE & HAND POWERED BUILDING MATERIALS PRODUCTS STORAGE UNIT SU PLANT
3 LEVEL SECURE STORAGE OF WATER AND PRODUCE. The Parry Storage Unit is derived from the existing open top Water Tank produced by the BLPW plant. The addition of rigid, impermeable cover improves the quality of the Water Tank by preventing the growth of algae in the water and contamination by wind-blown debris and animals. The tank can be used for rainwater storage by connecting it to roof gutters or by using conventional pumps. All necessary plumbing can be installed during construction, including taps for removing water and for emptying the tank. The central hatch in the tank roof provides easy access for cleaning and maintenance. The Storage room underneath is intended for material such as grain, rice and other foodstuffs. All three slabs at ground level, supporting the water tank and providing the cap to the tank are built using Parry’s material-saving waffle precast formwork units.

MULTIVIBE & HAND POWERED BUILDING MATERIALS PRODUCTS WALL AND FLOOR TILE PLANTS HIGH QUALITY VIBRATED CONCRETE TILES FOR USE ON WALLS AND SOME FLOORS The 6 inch (150 x 150mm) wall tiles can be made in varying thickness using the same moulds – anywhere between 812mm. Coloured tiles can be produced using locally available pigments. Pigmented tiles can be made plain or patterned with polished or lacquered tiles giving a top quality floor covering. The quantity of pigment required could be kept very small, as it is easy to make tiles that are only pigmented on the surface using the standard moulds. These tiles are made by coating the mould with a pigment/cement mix. 8mm thick tiles are used on walls to improve the interior of a building. As they are made from vibrated concrete, the tiles have a smooth, easy-to-clean surface – a great improvement over plaster and paint. The 12mm thick 6 inch tiles can also be used as a floor covering and if laid over a normal concrete slab, they give a smart, wear resistant floor surface. The 9 inch (225 x 225mm) 16mm thick floor tiles are laid over a normal concrete floor slab to give a smart, wear resistant surface. 32mm thick tiles can be used over a slightly stabilised bed of sand or laterite. A simple bed of sand or earth can be used for economy in rooms other than bathrooms and kitchens.

18”/450MM, 24”/600MM AND DECORATIVE PAVING SLABS SUPPLIED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ‘ARMCON LTD’ (www.armcon.co.uk)
PAVING SLABS LS1000
18” paving slabs can be used to make paths, patios and other paved areas look stylish and special. The paving should be laid on a firm level base of sand, aggregate or on suitable concrete bedding.
Hexagonal
HEXAGONAL
24” paving slabs also can be used for paths and patios, but with additional use for sidewalks, pavements and drives. They will support light vehicles if laid on a firm, level base. Unless laid on a concrete base, the slabs are not recommended for areas where heavy vehicle use is anticipated.
Spanish
SPANISH
HERRINGBONE
Concrete paving slabs can be made with different textures and patterns depending on the moulds used. They can also be produced in a range of colours with the addition of pigments. Paving slabs with texture take the same amount of time to produce and require the same quantity of materials to make as plain slabs, although they can attract high market prices as a ‘luxury’ product.
Hand Powered and Electric versions are available
The paving slabs are made on either the Semi Sheet vibrating table or the low cost plain vibrating table. The moulds come in two parts: vacuum formed liners made from a specially adapted robust grade of polypropylene and timber support frames which are often made by the customer using local materials. The scale of production depends on the number of moulds, each one being used only once per day.
For production of paving slabs you require a vibrating table, mould liners with wooden frames and accessories, tools and an instruction manual. The vibrating table and accessories, used for roofing production, can be adapted to paving slab production.
Larger mains/electric vibrating tables can be supplied by ‘Armcon Ltd’
A small to medium scale plant would consist of: A) Plain vibrating table B) 200 paving slab moulds plus accessories and C) Tools and instruction manual

Cement – Ordinary Portland Cement is suitable. Slow setting pozzolanic cements (sometimes known as ‘Masonry Cement’) should be avoided. Sand – Sand should not contain more than 10% clay or silt as this may cause strength and porosity problems. Gravel – Stones should range in size from 2mm-4mm for 6mm thick tiles and 2mm-5mm for 8mm or 10mm thick tiles. Better results will obtained from crushed or angular particles.
For Fibre Concrete Roofing (FCR) Roman II, Super Roman and Semi Sheet roofing and Storage Unit arches:
Fibre – many different fibres can be used, the most common being sisal, jute, henequen, flax, hemp, manila or coconut coir. Artificial fibres such as polypropylene and glass can also be used.
For Water Tanks, Storage Units and Blocks:
Cement – Ordinary Portland Cement is suitable. Slow setting pozzolanic cements (sometimes known as ‘Masonry Cement’) should be avoided. Sand – Ordinary ‘builders’ sand will be suitable for the production of good quality concrete blocks. Gravel – Stones should be smaller than 10mm in size. Better results will be obtained from crushed or angular particles.
For Building Blocks:
Cement – Ordinary Portland Cement is suitable. Slow setting pozzolanic cements (sometimes known as ‘Masonry Cement’) should be avoided. Sand – Ordinary ‘builders’ sand will be suitable for the production of good quality concrete blocks. Gravel – Stones should be smaller than 10mm in size. Better results will be obtained from crushed or angular particles. Sandcrete – (ie – sand & cement only) can be used but cement content will need to be higher.

MULTIVIBE & HAND POWERED BUILDING MATERIALS PRODUCTS
Only 8 Super Roman tiles are required per square metre and the batten spacing is at 50cm. Super Roman tiles have a deep water channel and large overlap which enables them to be used on low pitch roofs and also provide a roof which has a higher performance in extreme weather conditions.
SUPER ROMAN ROOFING TILES – SR PLANT
Super Roman tiles are usually made in 8mm thickness, but 10mm tiles can be produced using an alternative screeding frame. Compared to Roman II and Pantiles, the cost per square metre of roof will usually be lower for Super Romans due to the reduced use of construction timber. These tiles provide a very attractive alternative to other types of roofing. The scale of production depends upon the number of moulds supplied with each machine and the number of workers employed. In practice, a single machine will usually be able to produce a maximum of 300 tiles in an 8-hour working day, employing 4 workers. Typical plants usually include quantities of moulds in the region of 100, 200 or 300 per machine producing 500, 1000 or 1500 tiles per week. Other quantities can be supplied upon request.
Four different types of machines are available for this plant: a) Plain Table Top Unit (TTU), b) Table Top with workstation – which brings the vibrating table up to working height, c) Table Top with workstation and hopper – a raised container to hold mortar within easy reach of the operator.
Hand Powered and Electric versions are available
NOTE: Pantiles and Roman II tiles can be made on the Super Roman machine by using smaller screeding frames and moulds. If incorporating a large format vibrating table, Super Roman tile plants will also be able to produce Parry SemiSheets.
A typical Super Roman plant consists of: A) Screeding machine with Multivibe B) Accessory pack C) 100 Super Roman mould tops usually supplied with wooden frames and interface sheets. Ridge tile equipment is included.

MULTIVIBE & HAND POWERED BUILDING MATERIALS PRODUCTS SEMI SHEET ROOFING TILES – NS PLANT The Parry Semi Sheet is well suited to larger buildings. Four Semi Sheets are required per square metre coverage. Semi Sheets are usually made in 8mm thickness, but 10mm sheets can be produced. Semi Sheets can be used with a fairly light support structure and a batten spacing of 50cm. Hand powered and electric versions are presently available for the production of Semi Sheets. They consist of a large vibrating table which, due to the size of the moulds and the screed , is provided with traversing arms to hold the moulds in place for the screed transfer and also a tilting screed table to ease transfer of screed to mould.
Hand Powered and Electric versions are available
The scale of production depends upon the number of moulds supplied and the number of workers employed. In practice, a single Semi Sheet could fill a maximum of 250 moulds in an 8hour working day, employing 5 workers. NOTE: Pantiles/Roman II and Super Roman tiles can be made on the Semi Sheet machine by using alternative screeding frames and moulds. Paving Slabs and other products can also be

MULTIVIBE & HAND POWERED BUILDING MATERIALS PRODUCTS QUALITY CONTROL EQUIPMENT
Quality Control Jig – Usually a standard item in Roman II/Pantile and Super Roman plants. The QC jig is used to examine the shape of tiles after they have been demoulded to check they have been correctly placed on the moulds. The jig can also be used for final quality control of finished products.
Strength tester – Roman II/Pantile – A handy strength tester is available for smaller roof tiles, consisting of a framework to hold the tile and a loading beam which includes weighing scales. This can be supplied with or without a stand.
Strength tester – Super Roman/Semi Sheets – The larger tiles are more suited to strength testing by the direct placement of a load onto the tile or sheet. For this purpose, a shaped loading beam is provided which can be used with measured sacks of cement or sand to test the breaking strength of Parry roofing products.
Impact test – A simple impact tester can be provided consisting of a large steel ball -bearing, which is dropped onto tiles from a measured height. Many customers carry out this test by just dropping a two-pound hammer on to the tile. 12
MULTIVIBE & HAND POWERED BUILDING MATERIALS PRODUCTS RIDGES AND OTHER ROOFING DETAILS STANDARD RIDGE TILE – Standard ridge moulds can be supplied with Parry plants. They are made on a fixed mould set for a roof pitch of 22 degrees and can produce either two small ridges from a Roman II/ Pantile machine or a simple large ridge from Super Roman/Semi Sheet machines. The ridge moulds can be stacked to save space.
Overlapping Vari-Angle Ridge Tile – This product is more flexible and able to deal with a great variety of roofing designs. The tiles are produced on a hinged mould with inserts to create an overlapping effect between ridge tiles. These tiles can be made at any angle to suit various ridges and hips.
Top Row Tile (Dry Ridge) - A special tool is supplied to modify the tiles used in the top row of the roof by filling the channel, thereby providing a flat surface for the ridge tile to rest upon.
Standard Hip Tile – A modified ridge mould for hips and low-angle roofs.
Valley Tile – A special mould is available to produce a thick valley tile, an alternative to using steel flashing.
Edge Tile – A special fitting is available for Roman II/Pantile tiles to enable them to overlap the edges of a roof giving a superior appearance and protection to the timber structure. Super Roman and Semi Sheet tiles provide a measure of overlap, but special edge tiles can be supplied if required.
Double Nib Tile – For exposed edges of roofs, it is recommended that double nib tiles are used. These are produced on a standard machine with an additional special tool for double nib fixings. The special tiles can be attached to both the upper and lower battens making them secure in extreme weather conditions.

MULTIVIBE & HAND POWERED BUILDING MATERIALS PRODUCTS High quality concrete blocks can be made either hollow or solid using the same moulds. Mechanical vibration is used to produce high density blocks with a low water content. High structural strength can be achieved with low cement content. Blocks are 390mm long, 190mm deep with three alternative thickness’ - 100, 140 and 200mm.
PLAIN BUILDING BLOCKS BLP PLANT (ELECTRIC)
The blocks have a hard wearing surface and a smooth texture compared to most blocks, reducing the need for internal plastering. The number of blocks which can be produced depends upon the number of Multivibes and moulds supplied, as well as the number of workers employed. The block mould is a casting mould, which means the mould is removed whilst the concrete is still wet, allowing the mould to be used repeatedly during the same day. The steel moulds are filled with concrete, vibrated, turned over and removed, leaving the block standing on the floor. In practice, one Multivibe with one block mould will produce over 100 blocks per day, with a possibility of increasing this to 160-200 blocks per day with the addition of a further mould. Here, two workers would be required to take turns to use the Multivibe whilst the other de-moulds. Other workers may be required for mixing etc.
Hand Powered production uses a large format vibrating table of the same type which produces roofing Semi-Sheets
4, 6 and 8 inch are the standard block sizes available. The 4 inch blocks are intended as an economical material for internal walls, 6 inch blocks can be used for both internal and external walls and the 8 inch blocks are an alternative for use in external walls. Other moulds are available from Parry Associates which can be employed with the Multivibe. These include moulds for the production of Water Tanks with an internal diameter of 2m, 3m or 4m. Also moulds for the production of screen blocks and other more decorative items such as patterned walling blocks and balustrades are available.
A typical Block plant consists of: A) Multivibe vibrator B) Small accessory pack C) Block moulds – ‘4 inch’ (100mm), ‘6 inch’ (140mm) and ‘8 inch’ (200mm) D) The packing case can be used as a work table. NOTE: Non-standard sized moulds are available on request.

MULTIVIBE & HAND POWERED BUILDING MATERIALS PRODUCTS WATER TANK BLPW PLANT Specially shaped, curved, and interlocking concrete blocks for Water Tank construction, which are produced using mechanical vibration. They can be made with a low cement content, but still achieve high structural strength. Water Tanks can be built mostly without the need to use reinforcement and are very durable. The durability of Parry Multivibe tanks surpass that of steel or steel-reinforced tanks because they do not contain corrodable materials. Also, Multivibe tanks do not contaminate their contents, so it is possible to collect and store drinking water. Water Tank production with Multivibe interlocking blocks does not require special materials or skills. To construct a tank holding 6,000 litres should take as little as 2-3 days. The blocks are also useful for well construction and components for pit latrines. Other applications include cattle troughs, culverts, arches and vaults.
The block mould is a casting mould, which means the mould is removed whilst the concrete is still wet, allowing the mould to be used repeatedly during the same day. The steel moulds are filled with concrete, vibrated and removed, leaving the block standing on the floor. In practice, one Multivibe with one mould will produce around 80-100 blocks per day, with a possibility of increasing this to 160-200 blocks per day with the addition of a further mould.
A typical Water Tank block plant consists of: A) Multivibe vibrator B) Small accessory pack and C) One of three different water tank moulds – 2m, 3m or 4m. An additional demould-assist accessory is available where producers have to work with extra-sticky materials. 17

MULTIVIBE & HAND POWERED BUILDING MATERIALS PRODUCTS STORAGE UNIT SU PLANT
3 LEVEL SECURE STORAGE OF WATER AND PRODUCE. The Parry Storage Unit is derived from the existing open top Water Tank produced by the BLPW plant. The addition of rigid, impermeable cover improves the quality of the Water Tank by preventing the growth of algae in the water and contamination by wind-blown debris and animals. The tank can be used for rainwater storage by connecting it to roof gutters or by using conventional pumps. All necessary plumbing can be installed during construction, including taps for removing water and for emptying the tank. The central hatch in the tank roof provides easy access for cleaning and maintenance. The Storage room underneath is intended for material such as grain, rice and other foodstuffs. All three slabs at ground level, supporting the water tank and providing the cap to the tank are built using Parry’s material-saving waffle precast formwork units.
Vibrating table with moulds and accessories
The ‘A’ unit illustrated above will contain 3000 litres of water and provide 40 cubic metres of internal storage. A team of 3 workers will be able to produce all of the elements needed for one Storage Unit in one working week.

MULTIVIBE & HAND POWERED BUILDING MATERIALS PRODUCTS WALL AND FLOOR TILE PLANTS HIGH QUALITY VIBRATED CONCRETE TILES FOR USE ON WALLS AND SOME FLOORS The 6 inch (150 x 150mm) wall tiles can be made in varying thickness using the same moulds – anywhere between 812mm. Coloured tiles can be produced using locally available pigments. Pigmented tiles can be made plain or patterned with polished or lacquered tiles giving a top quality floor covering. The quantity of pigment required could be kept very small, as it is easy to make tiles that are only pigmented on the surface using the standard moulds. These tiles are made by coating the mould with a pigment/cement mix. 8mm thick tiles are used on walls to improve the interior of a building. As they are made from vibrated concrete, the tiles have a smooth, easy-to-clean surface – a great improvement over plaster and paint. The 12mm thick 6 inch tiles can also be used as a floor covering and if laid over a normal concrete slab, they give a smart, wear resistant floor surface. The 9 inch (225 x 225mm) 16mm thick floor tiles are laid over a normal concrete floor slab to give a smart, wear resistant surface. 32mm thick tiles can be used over a slightly stabilised bed of sand or laterite. A simple bed of sand or earth can be used for economy in rooms other than bathrooms and kitchens.

18”/450MM, 24”/600MM AND DECORATIVE PAVING SLABS SUPPLIED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ‘ARMCON LTD’ (www.armcon.co.uk)
PAVING SLABS LS1000
18” paving slabs can be used to make paths, patios and other paved areas look stylish and special. The paving should be laid on a firm level base of sand, aggregate or on suitable concrete bedding.
Hexagonal
HEXAGONAL
24” paving slabs also can be used for paths and patios, but with additional use for sidewalks, pavements and drives. They will support light vehicles if laid on a firm, level base. Unless laid on a concrete base, the slabs are not recommended for areas where heavy vehicle use is anticipated.

HERRINGBONE
Concrete paving slabs can be made with different textures and patterns depending on the moulds used. They can also be produced in a range of colours with the addition of pigments. Paving slabs with texture take the same amount of time to produce and require the same quantity of materials to make as plain slabs, although they can attract high market prices as a ‘luxury’ product.
Hand Powered and Electric versions are available
The paving slabs are made on either the Semi Sheet vibrating table or the low cost plain vibrating table. The moulds come in two parts: vacuum formed liners made from a specially adapted robust grade of polypropylene and timber support frames which are often made by the customer using local materials. The scale of production depends on the number of moulds, each one being used only once per day.
For production of paving slabs you require a vibrating table, mould liners with wooden frames and accessories, tools and an instruction manual. The vibrating table and accessories, used for roofing production, can be adapted to paving slab production.
Larger mains/electric vibrating tables can be supplied by ‘Armcon Ltd’
A small to medium scale plant would consist of: A) Plain vibrating table B) 200 paving slab moulds plus accessories and C) Tools and instruction manual

CLAY BUILDING MATERIALS PRODUCTS
TYPE ‘F’ BRICK PRESS – A highly successful upgrade from the Type E which combines simple hand made bricks with a high quality pressed finish. A single Type ‘F’ Brick Press can produce up to 1000 clay bricks per day with no external power required.
Finished brick size after drying and firing. PENDULUM CLAY CRUSHER – The crusher is used with dry clay or soil to produce finely ground particles, which can be converted to an effective brick clay by overnight tempering with water. The crusher is manually powered but can produce enough clay to feed two brick presses. We also now produce a ‘Stone Crusher’ for crushing small stones into aggregate. With typical clays and shales, the crusher can process over 20 kg per minute/1 tonne per hour.
COMPRESSED SOIL BLOCK MAKING MACHINE – Manually operated press for stabilised soil block production. You can make consistently accurate blocks from a variety of local soils. Quick operation Leverage produces high compression Capacity of 200 blocks per day. The addition of 10% cement to the soil produces a permanent waterproof product.
PARRY CLAY TILE SYSTEM – A set consisting of moulds, roller press and plastic drying forms, enabling the small brick maker to produce clay Pantiles. Typical production is 200 tiles per day. The finished size of the clay pantiles is 350 x 270 x 14mm thick with an effective coverage of 260 x 230mm (about 16 tiles per square metre of roof surface).

MULTIVIBE & HAND POWERED BUILDING MATERIALS PRODUCTS RAW MATERIALS For Micro Concrete Roofing (MCR) Roman II, Super Roman, Semi Sheet roofing, Hollow Formwork Units (waffles), Floor Tiles, Wall Tiles, Paviors, Balustrades and Copings:
Cement – Ordinary Portland Cement is suitable. Slow setting pozzolanic cements (sometimes known as ‘Masonry Cement’) should be avoided. Sand – Sand should not contain more than 10% clay or silt as this may cause strength and porosity problems. Gravel – Stones should range in size from 2mm-4mm for 6mm thick tiles and 2mm-5mm for 8mm or 10mm thick tiles. Better results will obtained from crushed or angular particles.
For Fibre Concrete Roofing (FCR) Roman II, Super Roman and Semi Sheet roofing and Storage Unit arches:
Fibre – many different fibres can be used, the most common being sisal, jute, henequen, flax, hemp, manila or coconut coir. Artificial fibres such as polypropylene and glass can also be used.
For Water Tanks, Storage Units and Blocks:
Cement – Ordinary Portland Cement is suitable. Slow setting pozzolanic cements (sometimes known as ‘Masonry Cement’) should be avoided. Sand – Ordinary ‘builders’ sand will be suitable for the production of good quality concrete blocks. Gravel – Stones should be smaller than 10mm in size. Better results will be obtained from crushed or angular particles.
For Building Blocks:
Cement – Ordinary Portland Cement is suitable. Slow setting pozzolanic cements (sometimes known as ‘Masonry Cement’) should be avoided. Sand – Ordinary ‘builders’ sand will be suitable for the production of good quality concrete blocks. Gravel – Stones should be smaller than 10mm in size. Better results will be obtained from crushed or angular particles. Sandcrete – (ie – sand & cement only) can be used but cement content will need to be higher.
