Cómo hacer ladrillos encajables

You can make interlocking bricks at home by acquiring raw materials (cement, sand, dust, and water) and mixing them together. Then you’ll compress the mixture using a block machine, like one of the high-quality options from Lontto. Next, lay your bricks once they've cured — it's as easy as that! If you still need guidance on how you can make your own interlocking bricks for a personal project or commercially, you've come to the right place.

With over 30 years of experience in brick manufacturing, our team can help — no YouTube videos necessary. We'll help guide you to understand what materials you need, how a brick making machine can help you make the bricks you need, and how to use them for construction.

What Materials Will You Need?

The materials that you'll need for manufacturing interlocking bricks are:

• Cemento
• Arena
• Stone Dust or Crusher Dust
• Laterite Soil
• Agua

Before you start your mix for interlocking bricks, ensure that you've got all your materials together, your interlocking brick-making machine on hand, and are ready to begin the process of making interlocking brick walls or interlocking houses.

How do you Make Your Own Interlocking Bricks?

You can make your own interlocking bricks at home with the right materials and attitude. Here is the process for how bricks are manufactured, from mixing to curing:

• Batching and Mixing: Measure and mix the materials in the appropriate ratio to ensure consistency. For example, a common mix for soil interlocking bricks is 95% soil and 5% Portland cement.
• Compresión: Feed the prepared mix into a hydraulic compression machine, otherwise known as a brick-making machine. The machine compresses the mixture into molds with interlocking patterns, which is crucial for the self-locking capability of the bricks.
• Curado: Stack the compressed bricks and leave them to cure for about a week. During this time, the cement sets and bonds with the sand, creating strong and durable interlocking bricks.

Once you've completed the production process, your interlocking bricks should be set for building the interlocking walls or paver you want — no mortar required.

Are There Different Kinds of Interlocking Bricks?

There are several different kinds of interlocking bricks that you can make, each varying in strength and density. Here are the most common types of interlocking bricks you can make and their differences:

Do You Need an Interlocking Brick-Making Machine to Make an Interlocking Block?

Yes, you'll need a brick-making machine to effectively make interlocking blocks. By using an interlocking block machine, you'll be able to create consistent and high-quality interlocking bricks efficiently. Achieving a consistent structure for your interlocking bricks is essential to help them properly gain the shear force necessary to hold up a building wall or withstand your car.

No matter if it's for a personal project or a large-scale commercial business, Lontto has interlocking brick-making machines that fit the needs of every project. You can expect high-quality machines, with training and installation included, at affordable prices wherever you are. Contact Lontto to receive machine pricing today.

How to Make Interlocking Bricks FAQs

What do you put between interlocking bricks?

You put nothing between interlocking bricks, as their structure allows the shear and tension to hold them in place even under heavy loads. This unique locking mechanism allows them to stay together without the need for adhesive substances like mortar.

How many interlocking bricks can you make from a bag of cement?

You can make around 50 to 60 concrete interlocking bricks per bag of cement. This is possible if that the bag of cement weighs around 50 kg, and you're using a ratio of one part Portland cement and 9 parts aggregates and stabilizers. The yield of construction materials will vary significantly depending on mix and the building technology you're using to make the bricks.
