Introduction
This page discusses the pressure requirements for pressing quality bricks with a CEB press.
Pressures on Existing Machines

The Liberator
The Liberator features an operating hydraulic pressure of 2200 psi. We use a 5 inch hydraulic cylinder, or 43,000 pounds of pressure - or about 20 tons.
- This gives a force of 600 psi on the face of the brick.
- The compressive streght of a brick is another issue. This must be measured by applying pressure to an unconfined brick.
