What Components Make Up a Block Machine

A modern block production line is a fully integrated system designed for high efficiency, consistent block quality, and reliable long-term operation. It includes the following key components:

Cement Silo: Stores bulk cement for continuous production, ensuring a steady supply to the batching system.

Screw Conveyor: Efficiently transports cement from the silo to cement scale , reducing manual handling and spillage.

Cement Scale: Measures cement accurately to maintain the correct mix ratio, ensuring uniform quality in every batch.

Batching Machine: Combines cruched stone and sand, and according to the required recipe. This ensures consistent concrete quality for all types of blocks, paving stones, or curbstones.

Concrete Mixer: Twin-shaft or planetary mixers provide thorough and uniform mixing, ensuring the concrete is consistent and workable for block forming. Some mixers are equipped with skip hoists or conveyor belts for continuous material feed.

Main Forming Machine

The main forming machine is the heart of the block production line, responsible for shaping and compacting the blocks. It consists of three major subsystems:

Mechanical System:

Provides structural stability with a reinforced steel frame.
Precision-machined components and vibration tables ensure uniform compaction and accurate block dimensions.
Supports multiple mould types for hollow blocks, solid bricks, and pavers.

Hydraulic System:

Japanese YUKEN Hydraulic system with proportional valve and hydraulic pump, engineered for precision and responsiveness, delivers unmatched control over pressure and flow in industrial applications. This advanced system ensures consistent performance, enhanced energy efficiency, and superior reliability, making it ideal for demanding automation and machinery operations. Built to optimize both productivity and longevity, it stands as a cornerstone of modern hydraulic solutions worldwide.

Electrical & PLC Control System:

Advanced PLC control cabinet with Siemens components allows intelligent operation, automatic fault diagnostics, and remote support capabilities.
Automates forming cycles and sequence timing, reducing operator workload.
Touchscreen interface enables easy recipe control and real-time adjustments.
Remote diagnostics and monitoring support fast troubleshooting and minimize downtime.

GMT Pallets: Durable, recyclable pallets that support freshly formed blocks for smooth demoulding and transport, ensuring shape consistency and quality.

Automatic Block Stacker: Efficiently organizes and stacks finished blocks, saving labor and improving workflow.

Automatic Pallet Provider: Continuously supplies pallets to the forming machine, ensuring uninterrupted production and smooth workflow throughout the block making process.

Facemix Device System: Mixes and applies surface material to blocks using a storage hopper and conveyor system, ensuring uniform coating and consistent decorative finishes.

Optional High-Automation Systems: Automatic Cuber, and can be added to maximize automation and output.

Forklift: Assists with material handling and block transport, especially useful in partially automated production lines.

Workflow: Raw material→ Batching → Mixing → Conveyor → Main Forming Machine → Block conveyor → Automatic Block Stacker / Curing → Delivery

This production line combines precision engineering, automation, and robust material handling to deliver consistent block quality, high production efficiency, and long-term reliability. The modular design allows manufacturers to customize automation levels and production capacity according to their project needs.
