Chicago, IL 60638, United States, 13th Jul 2026 – Lontto, a respected manufacturer of concrete block machines, mobile block-making machines, and earth block forming equipment, has announced the continued supply of its earth block machinery for construction projects seeking sustainable building methods. The Chicago-based company said the equipment is designed to convert raw soil and stabilising materials into compressed blocks suitable for wall construction, reducing reliance on fired clay bricks and cement-heavy materials. The announcement reflects a broader shift within the construction sector towards materials with lower embodied energy and localised sourcing.

The equipment operates by compacting a mixture of soil, sand and a stabilising agent, typically cement or lime, under hydraulic or manual pressure to form solid blocks. The process does not require kiln firing, which is generally associated with fired clay brick manufacturing and contributes to the energy demand of conventional masonry production. Lontto’s earth block equipment range includes manual, hydraulic, and diesel-powered models, allowing operators to select machinery suited to project scale, available power sources, and required output. Larger hydraulic models are generally intended for higher-volume operations, while manual units are more commonly deployed on smaller or remote sites.

The company noted that earth block construction is increasingly used in projects located in regions where transporting conventional building materials is costly or logistically difficult, since the blocks can often be produced using soil sourced near the construction site. This approach can reduce transport-related emissions and material costs associated with importing bricks or cement blocks from distant suppliers. Building projects in rural and semi-rural areas, in particular, have been cited by the company as a common application, given the reduced dependence on established supply chains for conventional masonry materials. Lontto’s machinery is supplied alongside installation and training services intended to help operators establish production processes and maintain equipment over time.

“This equipment allows construction teams to produce building material on site using locally available soil, which can reduce transport costs and material waste,” said Chao Zhang, CEO of Lontto. “The machinery has been developed to accommodate a range of soil compositions and stabilising ratios, giving operators flexibility depending on regional conditions.”

Lontto’s earth block machinery is used across a range of project types, including rural housing, agricultural buildings, and small-scale commercial structures. The company stated that block dimensions and mould configurations can be adjusted to meet different structural and aesthetic requirements, and that machines undergo testing before shipment to confirm operational performance. Training provided alongside equipment delivery covers machine operation, routine maintenance and block curing procedures, which the company said contribute to consistent block quality during early stages of use. Operators are also provided with guidance on soil testing and stabiliser ratios, which the company said can affect block strength and durability once cured.

The company also manufactures concrete block machines and mobile block-making machines, which serve separate segments of the construction materials sector. According to Zhang, the earth block equipment line has been developed as part of the company’s wider manufacturing operations, which include product testing, servicing, and technical support for machinery purchased by construction firms and material producers. Spare parts and technical documentation remain available following installation, with the company stating that technical support extends beyond the initial setup period where required.

“Continued investment in equipment testing and after-sales support remains a priority as demand for on-site block production grows,” said Zhang. “Future development work will focus on refining machine durability and expanding the training resources available to equipment operators.”

Lontto manufactures block and brick-making machinery for the construction and materials production sectors, offering concrete block machines, mobile block-making machines, and earth block forming equipment, alongside installation and training services. The company is based in Chicago, Illinois, and supplies equipment to construction firms and material producers involved in a range of building projects across different regions, including projects where reduced material transport and lower embodied energy are cited as considerations in equipment selection.
