Hydraulic Systems

Hydraulics packs a lot of power into a small area. Humans pack a lot of area into a small amount of power.

Brick making is a a high volume production operation typically. Human power in not efficient or practical for much average energy output. You will be best off finding a better power source to run your equipment.

Unless you can get slave laborers in large numbers to run on tread mills to power the hydraulic pumps!

Send me a message. I design Hydraulic/Pneumatic/Motion control/Automation systems for a living, and my company just so happens to give our engineering away for free, with the hopes you buy the parts and pieces from us.

I would be glad to go over the system with you.

How many bricks are you planning on making in an hour? 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10,000.

Is this is a "3rd world" application? or ?

Gift71,

you have not provided us with enough information to be helpful. Please write more specific requirements and parameters. (especially what is meant by "Manual"?)

Begin by looking at "Compressed Earth Block" on the web- specifically the Cinva Ram developed in Colombia in the 1950's. This will not give you the design you are after, but will give you the basic requirements for your system.
