Project Overview
Customized Production Line for an Algeria Port Construction Project
This project was supplied for China Harbour Engineering Company Ltd. (Algeria Branch), supporting concrete product manufacturing for a port construction project in Algeria. The required product is a double-layer Zigzag Paver with a finished size of 225 × 112.5 × 100 mm.
To match the customer's product requirements, HAWEN configured the production line with a QT12-15 main block making machine, Face Mix Device, PL1600-III batching machine, MP1000 planetary concrete mixer, customized moulds, automatic pallet feeding and wet block handling equipment.
The complete shipment reflects HAWEN's ability to provide not only individual machines, but also a coordinated block production solution based on product size, mould capacity, concrete preparation and site application.

Face Mix Device Loading for Double-Layer Paver Production
The Face Mix Device is an important module for producing double-layer paving blocks. It supports separate feeding of face material and base material, helping the line produce pavers with a stable structural layer and an attractive surface layer.
Production Line Configuration
Integrated QT12-15 Plant for Zigzag Paver Manufacturing
The QT12-15 serves as the main forming machine, while the batching, mixing, feeding, moulding and product handling systems work together to form a continuous production process.
The PL1600-III batching machine proportions aggregates according to the selected mix design. The MP1000 planetary mixer then prepares concrete with stable mixing quality before material enters the forming stage.
For double-layer paver production, the Face Mix Device feeds the surface layer and base layer separately. An automatic feeding cart delivers concrete to the mould shoe in sequence, allowing the machine to form pavers with clear surface and base layers.
 Automatic Block Stacker LoadingThe automatic block stacker supports downstream handling after forming and helps improve overall production efficiency by reducing manual handling in the concrete block production line. |
 Electrical Control Cabinet LoadingThe electrical control cabinet is prepared and protected for shipment as a key control module of the QT12-15 automatic block making plant. |
Key Technologies
Stable Forming, Accurate Control and Reliable Compaction
The QT12-15 hydraulic station incorporates Japanese YUKEN proportional and directional valves together with an American ALBERT hydraulic pump. These components support coordinated movement of feeding, moulding and pressing mechanisms during each production cycle.
The machine adopts a 6-shaft vibration box design with eccentric blocks positioned outside the housing. Proper coordination of vibration, pressing parameters, concrete mix and mould structure helps achieve consistent compaction and repeatable product formation.
The SIEMENS S7-200 PLC control system and touch panel allow operators to manage production settings efficiently. Where remote monitoring is configured, operating information can also support technical troubleshooting and service response.

QT12-15 Main Block Making Machine Loaded into Container
The QT12-15 main machine is the core forming unit of the complete production line. It was loaded securely into the container as the central equipment for the Algeria port project.
Customized Mould and Pallet System
Designed for 30 Pieces of Zigzag Pavers per Mould
The customized mould is designed for Zigzag Pavers measuring 225 × 112.5 × 100 mm, with 30 pieces formed per cycle. Accurate mould design helps maintain product dimensions, edge quality and stable production performance.
HAWEN manufactures moulds compatible with various leading block machine brands, including MASA, HESS, ZENITH, POYATOS, BESSER, TIGER, Columbia, Quadra and OMAG. Mould hardness and material configuration are selected according to production requirements and machine conditions.
The 1350 × 950 mm GMT pallets provide reliable support during forming and product transfer, helping the customer maintain stable handling throughout the production process.
 Pallet Feeder and Wet Blocks Conveyor LoadingThe Pallet Feeder and Wet Blocks Conveyor were prepared for shipment to support smooth pallet circulation and wet product transfer in the production line. |
 Pallet Feeder and Wet Blocks Conveyor SecuredAfter loading, the pallet feeding and wet block conveying equipment was positioned inside the container to support safe transportation and efficient installation after arrival. |

Equipment Modules Secured Inside Container
Different equipment modules were packed and positioned carefully inside the container. Proper loading arrangement helps protect the machines during international transport and supports smoother unloading at the project site.

Face Mix Device Positioned Inside Container
The Face Mix Device was secured inside the container after loading, ensuring this important double-layer paver production module is ready for delivery to Algeria.
Shipment to Algeria
Careful Loading for Overseas Infrastructure Project Delivery
The HAWEN QT12-15 Automatic Block Making Plant was shipped in late September 2026 and is expected to arrive at the Port of Algiers in early November 2026. Each equipment module was organized according to loading sequence, container space and protection requirements.
For this port construction project, HAWEN matched the forming machine, mould, concrete preparation equipment, Face Mix Device, pallet system and handling equipment to the customer's intended concrete product. This integrated approach helps reduce coordination difficulties and supports efficient project implementation after arrival.
