Finally, eight years after its launch, Hydraform obtained

an Agrément test certificate from South Africa’s

Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR),

formalising the building system and providing a “stamp

of approval” for other African nations. The company

also expanded operations into Argentina and India in

1996.

A very busy and successful year that saw Hydraform

launch the M5 trailer-mounted machine and almost

immediately having to fulfil an order for 28 units for

customers in Malawi. The company also moved into

new offices that year.

was an

Malawi.

Hydraform had another landmark year with the successful

testing of a multi-storey building constructed from blocks

made using the company’s machines. This period also

saw the launch of the M6 220V electric and M6 high-

volume “mini-factory” blockmaking machines. Major

distributors were also appointed in several countries.

The Hydraform M6 electric block machine weighs a mere

400kg and is capable of producing 100 blocks per hour.

Hydraform launched the M7 trailer-mounted mobile

blockmaking machine. Ideal for small- to medium-sized

projects, the M7 weighs in at 900kg and can produce

200-240 blocks per hour and up to 1 500 blocks in a

single day.

The Hydraform M7 mobile

and can produce as many as

1 500 blocks per day.

The Hydraform M7MI mobile block machine includes

an integrated pan-mixer bolted on the same frame.

The inclusion of an integrated pan-mixer turned the new

machine into a mobile blockmaking mini factory. Like

the M7, it can produce 200-240 blocks per hour and up

to 1 500 blocks in a single day.
