How to Make Quality Hollow Blocks

To produce high-quality hollow blocks, the following key factors are critical:

1️⃣ Raw Material Selection

Use clean, well-graded aggregates, good quality cement, and potable water.

2️⃣ Accurate Batching & Mixing

Ensure proper proportions of cement, sand, and aggregates with automated batching systems for consistent quality.

3️⃣ Optimal Vibration & Pressure

Hawen’s advanced vibration system applies uniform pressure, eliminating air pockets and achieving high block density.

4️⃣ Proper Curing

Cure blocks in a controlled environment (curing chamber) for 7–14 days to achieve maximum strength and durability.

5️⃣ Precision Moulds

Use high-quality steel moulds to ensure consistent dimensions and smooth finishes on every block.

By following these steps, Hawen machines help manufacturers deliver premium hollow blocks that meet local and international standards.
