The invention relates to a machine for the production of organic aggregate based masonry units. The machine comprises a mould box 3, in which a mixture comprising an organic aggregate and a binder material is filled in use. A compressive member 4 is applied through an opening provided in the mould box 3 to compress the mixture within the mould box 3 by at least 15% and form the masonry units. A feed cart 5 moves from a delivery position to a position above the box 3 to deposit the mixture into the box 3. Combination of movement of cart 5 and vibration due to a vibrating table helps the mixture into the box 3. A cylindrical component 6, which may be rotatable, serves to smooth and suppress the mixture in the mould box 3. A delivery system may comprise a reservoir, hopper etc with a movable floor which is able to drag or drop out the mixture into the cart in a controlled manner. |
