Design And Fabrication of a Manually Operated Paver Block Making Machine. by Ddamba Timothy

“…In the proposed design, the paver block making machine will be manually operated by man without the help of the external power of an engine which makes it reliable even in times of shortage of fuel or fuel price fluctuations and can produce up to 4 paver blocks per production making it efficient. Its simple design will ensure that even the smallest construction site can easily purchase it that is at a relatively cheaper cost as compared to those that are already on market. …”
