HAWEN Prepares a Custom Concrete Formwork Block Mould for Delivery to Customer in Italy

Hawen Machinery is preparing to ship a custom hollow block mould to a customer in Italy. Designed for use with a 1100 × 1100 mm production pallet, the mould will produce hollow concrete formwork blocks. The project includes confirmed mould-to-machine interface drawings, along with a customer-requested modification to facilitate demoulding.

Custom hollow block mould for the Italian customer, designed for use with a 1100 × 1100 mm production pallet.

PROJECT BACKGROUND

From Supplier Comparison to Cooperation with HAWEN

The customer first contacted Hawen Machinery last year while evaluating several mould suppliers. Following discussions and a comparison of the available proposals, the customer selected HAWEN to manufacture this custom hollow block mould for formwork block production.

After the order was confirmed and the advance payment was received, the Hawen team began reviewing the technical drawings with the customer, translating the agreed requirements into a confirmed mould design.

TECHNICAL DRAWING REVIEW

Mould and Machine Interface Drawings Confirmed Before Manufacturing

A custom mould project requires clear agreement on both the concrete product and the equipment interface details. The Hawen team worked with the customer to review and confirm the mould drawings and the mould-to-machine interface drawings before manufacturing.

The mould is designed for use with a 1100 × 1100 mm production pallet. With the customer's formwork block application in mind, both parties reviewed the design and interface requirements, using the confirmed drawings as the basis for production.

CUSTOM MOULD CORE DETAIL

Core-Top Openings Added to Assist Demoulding

Demoulding was a particular focus during the design review. At the customer's request, openings were added at the top of the mould cores while retaining the existing demoulding taper. This modification was incorporated to assist the release of the freshly formed formwork blocks.

The request was addressed as part of the drawing confirmation process, allowing the customer and the Hawen team to establish the required structural detail before manufacturing.

DELIVERY PREPARATION

Preparing the Formwork Block Mould for Shipment to Italy

The custom mould is being prepared for shipment to Italy. The photograph below shows the mould wrapped in protective film during packing preparation.

From the initial supplier comparison to order confirmation, drawing review and the mould core modification, communication between the customer and the Hawen team helped define the technical requirements at each stage of the project.

This project brings together the customer's formwork block requirements, a 1100 × 1100 mm production pallet and a specific demoulding modification in one custom mould solution.

PROJECT QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What will this mould be used to produce?

The mould will produce hollow concrete formwork blocks. These blocks serve as permanent formwork and can be dry-stacked to accommodate reinforcing steel and a concrete infill. The structural performance of the completed wall, including any seismic resistance, depends on the engineered wall design, materials, construction details and applicable local requirements.

What production pallet size is used for this project?

The mould is designed for use with a 1100 × 1100 mm production pallet.

What modification did the customer request?

The customer requested openings at the top of the mould cores to assist demoulding, while retaining the existing demoulding taper.

Which drawings were confirmed?

The Hawen team and the customer confirmed the mould drawings and the mould-to-machine interface drawings before manufacturing.
