elements to assemble
structure
the reproduction of this machine requires some expertise in order to assure a
correct result. despite our efforts to simplify and optimize the designs we strongly
recommend only professional blacksmiths and welders take part in the the
assembling of the various pieces.
the material required to reproduce one of our machines are:
- band saw
- drill (up to 32mm)
- welding machine (or electrode)
- grinding machine with cutting discs and stone discs
we want to spread our knowledge on Compressed Earth Bricks (CEB) by distributing
assembling and usage manuals of different CEB machines. this distribution is to be
done for free! if you possess one of our manuals you will be able to assemble your
own proper press. make sure you read carefully all our annotations and follow the
instructions to assure the best possible results and to prevent you from taking any
risks.
with this press, which we named Isabelle, users will be able to make building bricks
290mm x 140mm by compressing a mix of sand, clay and (only if needed) some
lime, cement or other stabilizer.
we believe sharing knowledge is the best way of achieving an equitable development
in communities throughout the world and the cooperation between humans is
crucial for our growth as a society. it’s the way it should have always been.
to reach the final objective of reproducing the press Isabelle you will have to
produce 5 separate pieces to finally assemble them all together.
Isabelle is composed by
crank connecting
rod
piston
lid

in the following pages you will find detailed 3D images of all the elements that conform
the different parts of the machine with accurate measurements so you can precisely
reproduce them in your own atelier with simple blacksmith and welding machinery.
we have decomposed the machine in order to make the assembling process easier
and more comprehensible. all measures are in millimetres (mm).

ALL PIECES MUST BE METICULOUSLY CUT IN ORDER TO ASSURE THE CORRECT
FUNCTIONING OF THE MACHINE

A_structure this piece is the machine’s skeleton and must be built with good
quality steel. pieces should be amongst the thickest of the whole
machine in order to resist the weight of the various parts that will
rest on it and the heavy compression process for the conformation
of the bricks.

assemblage
ALL PIECES MUST BE METICULOUSLY ASSEMBLED IN ORDER TO ASSURE THE
CORRECT FUNCTIONING OF THE MACHINE
once you have faithfully reproduced the various elements that conform the machine
you will be able to start the assembling process detailed in the following pages.
dotted lines represent, schematically, the assembling movements and assembling
positions whilst grey ones indicate where the different pieces should be welded. all
measures are in millimetres (mm).

a_structure take into consideration that the piston will have to go up
and down very smoothly, so angles need to be perfectly
sharp and the structure walls completely perpendicular
to the base.
welding shall be done always on the outer part, leaving
the inside clear.
1 Weld pieces A.1, A.2 and A.3
making sure the pieces are well
centered to allow the piston to
move freely
2 add pieces A.4 to previous
step. pieces must be well aligned
to allow the correct insertion of
the correspondent rod as shown
on next step

welding it to pieces A.4 around its
interior contact surface
4 add to structure pieces
conformed separately. make sure
they are aligned with the structure
NOTE: before welding to structure, join
together pieces A.6 and A.7

assemble the elements of the lid bearing in mind that it
will have to fit on top of the structure, and it should have
a smooth rotation. .
1 weld pieces E.2 and E.3
together ensuring they
describe a perfect 90º angle.
2 join pieces conformed in
previous step to piece B.1
3 Add pieces B.4 and B.5 to
strengthen the union and to
make the opening of the lid
easier
NOTE: pieces conformed in step 1 must be
completely parallel in order to allow the
lever to rotate correctly
NOTE: note: position the small rod to the
left of the indents, as shown in image. it
will help you to pull the lid whilst using the
machine.

process so be warned to follow the instructions with extra
care. the most delicate step is ensuring all opposite sides are
parallel to each other.

d_crank &
connecting rod
make sure the vertical elements are situated in the correct
places and that they are perfectly parallel and vertical. if this
elements aren’t properly positioned it will limit the machine’s
performance by not letting the piston move up and down
resulting in the machine not functioning at all.

3 assemble pieces
D.7 and D.8, introduce
D.6 rod and then insert
pieces D.12 on both
sides
4 put together pieces
conformed in steps 5
and 6 by inserting D.11
through hole.
NOTE: weld to D.13. assure that whilst
welding both pieces can still rotate jointly
and severally.
NOTE: this piece will act as a safe that will be needed for the
machines correct functioning. weld piece from step 6 with
D.11 on its exterior contact suface. This element must have
freedom to rotate

1 assemble, as shown, structure,
piston and the piston’s cover.
before doing so, insert A.8 (x2) at any of
the holes done in the structure. this will
act as a stopper for the piston and also
will allow you to decide what amount
of compression you would like to apply
to the bricks
2 join rotating rod with the
piston through C.4 rod.
rest them on the structure.
it will make following steps
easier.
final
assembling
now that you have assembled all the different elements that
conform the Isabelle press it is time to put them all together in
order to be done with the process. The hard work is almost done
so take care during the following steps as they are still important
for the machine to function.
thoroughly daub the interior of the structure with dense car-oil
so the piston can easily slide up and down. this step will have be
repeated periodically during the usage of the machine.

3 join the crank to the rest
of the machine as shown on
image.
once put together, lock the
safe. this is very important for
to safety issues: if crank isn’t
secured, it can easily harm
people when manipulating
4 join lever with rest of
machine and pass D.14
through. this is another
important step to secure the
safety around the machine.
add the lid and pass B.5 rod
through to enable its rotation

now go enjoy your
Isabelle CEB press!
NOTE before adding any soil, make sure all
sliding and rotating elements are greased
and check if the machine moves correctly.
if any of the movements shows some
difficulties, check the machine manuals to
find the error.
if problems persist, do not hesitate to
contact us on our website.
