    This document describes a new machine called the CETA-RAM that was developed in Guatemala for producing hollow concrete building blocks. The CETA-RAM is based on the general design of the CINVA-RAM block-making machine. It is composed of a frame, mold box, bottom plate, and lever mechanism. The machine compacts damp soil and cement into blocks using the lever, then ejects the finished blocks. The blocks produced are standardized in size and shape with holes, allowing for reinforced construction. The CETA-RAM aims to improve affordable housing construction.

    (Abstract)
    21new machine, based on the general design of the CINVA-RAM, has
    been developed by the author, for the Droduction of hol.low building blocks from a damp mix-i;ure of earth and a stabilizing
    additive, generally cement.
    Tile machine IXXJ been named CETA-RAM, honoring the Centro de Experimentscidn en lecnologia Asroqiada (Guatemala), where it was
    develo?ed, and the Chilean engineer Rati Ran&z,
    creator of the
    gII;j&;m.
    Ihe CJiA-RAX is composed of three nain assenolies:
    1. Erame, with mold box and lid
    2. ,old
    .
    box bottom ylate

    3. Lever device (Figure

    (Figure

    (Figure

    3)

    4)

    Sj

    The bottom nla tc has two tubular guides (B), that engage the two
    cilyndrical
    columns (A) bolted to the base of the frame. The lever
    device, similar in operation to that in the CINVA-RAM, activates
    the bottom plate to compress the damp soil-cement mixture inside
    the closed mold box to form the block, and also to eject the block
    from the mold after the lid is opened. The finisbsd block is then
    nand carried to a cool place and allowed to set h, -ure for a
    minimum of seven days.
    Picures 3 to 14 are a ?hotograpilic
    operation.

    sequence of the CETA-RAISin

    irhen working with sandy soils, a pallet (Figure 5) is used to handle


    the freshly molded blocks without danger of disintegrating.
    Before
    filling
    tile box, the 7allet is droqoed on the bottom; after the
    formed block is ejected, it is carried civay on the nallet,
    nlacdd
    on the ground, and carefully
    turned on its side, thereby freeing
    the ?allet for inmediate reuse.
    \
    Tie blocks Traduce: by the SEIA-Rdt; have tile shanc and dimensions
    shown in Figure 2. ?he holes sin?lify
    the placement of reinforcing
    rods in aseismic wall construction.
    The length of three blocks yhs
    joints , add exactly one meter. This sirn?lifics
    the planning and
    excecution of low cost housing projects,
    as it allows a modular
    coordination
    on the basis of 50 or 100 centimeters.
    It is the intc:ition
    of CXl!A to continue research with other versions
    of the ZuL&i-Xl, , to qroduce blocks of other sin:nes nnd dimensions,
    ,
    of soil-cement mixtures and other ?ossiblc mcterials.
