ISOFORM 300 - FABRICATION OF ADOBES USING THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE,
IT'S A PROCESS THAT IS REVOLUTIONIZING THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY.
"ISOFORM 300" Machine, produces blocks of earth at a low cost and
allows a fast construction, it does not require skilled labor (mano
de obra especializada). The produced blocks have great durability
and resistance, are bulletproof, with tests made in laboratories.
The walls done with these blocks also have been analyzed and proven
against winds of up to 200 miles per hour, which is much greater than
the specifications required by the codes of construction of the U.S.A.
The
walls constructed with these blocks also offer excellent isolation
against the cold heat and noise. Most of the construction codes of
in the U.S.A. require a R=19 factor. The insulation factor of these
blocks is R=40 that is, much greater. They also offer great resistance
to sismic movements and depending of the constructions design, engineers
and architects are in agreement that the construction of walls constitutes
the most important factor for sismic resistance.
The walls constructed with this system complement these factors due
to their weight, height and because they are solid. They can resist
up to 7,5 degrees in the Richter scale.
These blocks also are resistant to fire.
Another
very important factor is that in these blocks utilize any type of
nonorganic and compactable earth with a minimal content from 20% to
90% of clay, the rest of the materials can be sand and rock.
In most countries, the earth is free and always available. The blocks
can be placed one upon the other with no need to place any type of
bonding material between block and block and the walls can be finished
with plaster, lime, stucco or any other material that is used to finish
or to cover the walls.
Due to fact that the weight and the surface that is so smooth and
flat, they produce certain friction between each block and this cause
adhesion that is as strong as when cement or mortar is used as bonding
material. Also the blocks can be placed using: cement, plaster, mortar
or even wet mud.
This machine is easy to transport to where the construction site is
located since the machine is assembled on a trailer. This way the
of transportation of blocks to the construction area is minimized.
We offer training in plant, without cost for the client. Transportation
and room and board expenses are the responsability of the customer.
The finished blocks do not require cooking or driying, they can be
placed directly in the work area. They can also be used for foundations
but in this case it is necessary to add at least 10% of cement in
the mixture.
The finishing of the walls can be done using: lime, plaster, mortar,
stucco or any other available material. These blocks exceed all the
construction codes in the U.S.A.: "The Uniform Building Code", "The
Southern Building Code", "The HUD Standards", "The Farmers Home Administration",
"Veteran Administration" and the "FHA Building Code".
With ISOFORM 300 machine it is possible to make 5000 blocks in two
days, that are almost the amount necessary to construct a house of
a plant (of about 150 m2 approximately)

Estimated production costs for earth blocks with 300 ISOFORM Machine
based ont the production of: 8 hours x 250 blocks per hour x 25 days
month = 50.000 blocks
LABOR AND SUPPLIES
(Expressed in US Dollars)
Earth mix: 1 cubic meter = $ 3,00
1 cubic meter = 98 blocks of 30 xs 15 xs 10 cm.
50.000 Blocks = 510 cubic meters = $ 1,530.00
Gasoline:
1 galon x 1 hr. x 8 hrs. x 25 days x $ 1.50 = $ 300.00
Hydrulic oil: = $ 10.00
Operator:
Machine operator, montly salary = $ 400.00
Four helpers:
Montly salary = $300.00 (8 hrs. Work day) x 4 = $ 1,200.00
TOTAL LABOR AND SUPPLIES
$ 3,440.00 divided by 50,000 = US$ 0.069 per block
Plus machine depreciation cost.
The machine depreciation cost can be calculated on the following basis:
Average machine price FOB Miami = $ 19,950.00
Freight and Insurance = $ 400.00 to $1,000
Import duties = ????
Example: to depreciate the total machine cost in Two years: Asuming
a final machine cost at work site of $ 25,000.00 and working 5 years,
8 months of 25 days of 8 hours, it would produce 2'000,000 blocks.
The cost per block atributable to the machine would be $ 0.0125 that
added to the cost of labor and suplies results with a final cost of
$ 0.0815 PER BLOCK. |
