How Does mud brick making machine Work?

I did a quick search and found the same things you did.  China / third world is the place to buy one. MAYBE you could locate a used one in the U.S. ... I wouldn't know where to ask ???
Alibaba itself I believe is up front (honest) each seller is the question. They have ratings like ebay and I think I would use my judgment after contact, to determine if I want to send them my thousand dollars or not...  My biggest concern would be the shipping.  I would want a locked down price up front. At the least , delivered to the nearest large town.

You may find somebody who can make your bricks for you, if you have cash.
Otherwise make adobe bricks, which take a bit longer.
Either way, earth bricks are hard work.
I know I have built many homes with them.

I think interlocking bricks may work if you use very little mortar between the bricks.
But with earth bricks, an earth mortar of the same material as the blocks are made from, and about 1 inch thick when the block is laid, will be very good.

In the block making process, it starts with mixing cement, sand, aggregate, and water to create concrete. This mixture is then transported into the machine's mold. Next, the machine compresses and vibrates the concrete to form and solidify it. After forming, the concrete blocks are placed in a special area to cure, maintaining moisture and allowing them to harden gradually.

The working process typically involves 6 key steps:

**Mixing Raw Materials**: The machine starts with the mixing of raw materials like cement, sand, aggregates, and water. This mixture forms the concrete.

**Feeding the Mixture**: The mixed concrete is then fed into the block machine's mold. This can be done manually in simpler machines or automatically in more advanced machines.

**Compression and Vibration**: Once the concrete is in the mold, the machine applies high pressure and vibration. The pressure compacts the concrete, while the vibration ensures the removal of air pockets and even distribution of the concrete within the mold.

**Forming Blocks**: Under the pressure and vibration, the concrete takes the shape of the mold, forming the block.

**Curing**: The formed blocks are then removed from the machine and placed in a curing area where they are kept moist and allowed to set and gain strength.

**Quality Inspection**: After curing, the blocks are inspected for quality in terms of dimensions, strength, and appearance.
