Birkenmeyer machines instrumental in block-making company's success

Rustenburg-based block-making company Cemblocks recently acquired an additional two Birkenmayer (CMA member) block-making machines to increase its production capacity to 13-million bricks a month.

Cemblocks has only ever used Birkenmayer machinery during its 32 years in business and attributes its success, in part, to quality equipment and the sound backup support Birkenmayer provides.

The current equipment of Cemblocks, which supplies contractors and retailers within the greater Rustenburg area, comprises a VB1, purchased when the company began production, a VB4, two VB5 block-making machines and one VB6.

“The VB1, purchased in 1981 is a mechanical miracle. Birkenmayer assisted with the plant assembly and we feel this a key contributing factor to their equipment’s durability,” said Francois Alberts, Cemblocks’ CEO.

“Despite its age the plant continuously delivers 1 500 pallets of product per day in nine-hour shifts and we have only had to replace the PLC once.”

Birkenmayer’s Monika Howarth commented: “An endorsement of this nature proves the durability, reliability and consistency of Birkenmayer brick- and block-making machinery and parts.”

Cemblocks’ product range comprises solid large blocks, maxis, stock bricks, several paving products, retaining wall blocks and rock-face bricks. Cemblocks also manufactures customised products. http://www.birkenmayer.co.za
