Compressed Earth Block press wanted - Cinva or ??

Hey Everyone,

I am looking for a CEB press of some sort.

Manual or hydraulic.  I have auxiliary hydraulic on my tractor.

I have looked at Alibaba and just don't have confidence in what I am  seeing. Anyone have any experience with them? I have purchased batteries there with no problem but I knew exactly what I needed.

Any suggestions are most welcome.

Thanks

Stephen

You are correct. When I searched I did find that thread. Unfortunately,  it did not answer my question.  

Steve,

Look for ISO certified factories that have some working websites.
Ask a lot of questions and do not make ANY assumptions - due to potential civilizational differences there may exist different perception of something that seems obvious . The vendors I used were very, very responsive.
If something breaks or is not too well made, you will already have a structure that you can repair or modify. It will be probably cheaper than raw materials plus machining and fabrication required to make it from scratch.
Make sure they ship it on NOT SOLID WOOD pallet, it should be plywood or plastic to avoid potential quarantine and massive fines.

Hi John, I want to buy your machine! How can I contact you to discuss this?

And a search shows another one on the other end of the country:

Shipping costs will be strong with this one.
