They can be used together in the same wall, although the solid brick can be positioned to give more resistance in fixing closets or certain kitchen areas for instance. The hollow brick are better for conducting piping and wiring networks or columns steel rebars.

The better soil comes from the inner layers of the soil avoiding the crust with dried materials, grass, etc. The composition 60% – 80% gravel (“sand”) and 40% – 20% clay with no contaminants. When you buy a Vimaq machine you earn a two-day instructor-led course with all information that you need to select and even correct the soil to produce bricks with good resistance, including the applicable quality tests. Besides, Vimaq offer lab results for any soil sample, by a modest fee.

Only changing the press mold you can achieve this variation.

Material economy (cement, sand, steel, wood, painting, waste), labour.
It´s an ecological product with better thermal and accoustic properties.

(HxWxL) 2 ½” x 5”x10” is the most common dimension and is produced in the M12 Vimaq Press. The second is 3” x 6” x 12” and is produced by the M15 Vimaq Press.

No, they undergo the same curing process of cement with hidratation. The final product presentes a compressive strenght 3 times greater then ordinary bricks. The absence of the burning step avoid the necessary combustion of materials, as in the case of firewood ovens.

The best production is achieved with 3 persons: 1 operate the press, 1 preparate the mixture and feed the machine and 1 extracts the brick and move the finished and raw material.

It brakes the clods of soil that are common in the raw material. Afterwards is used to final grind the mixture eliminating the use of screens.
