QT5-15 Block Production Line Successfully Running in Madagascar with Full Technical Support
Hawen Machinery is proud to announce that the QT5-15 block production line in Madagascar has successfully commenced production, equipping the client with a versatile and high-efficiency solution for hollow blocks, U-shaped blocks, pavers, and curb stones. This milestone underscores Hawen’s commitment to providing complete technical support and ensuring optimal performance from day one.
Installation and Commissioning
Following shipment, Hawen dispatched experienced engineers from our East Africa service center to Madagascar to supervise the installation and commissioning. Over a ten-day installation period, the technical team guided the client through every critical step:
Equipment Placement: Main forming machine and auxiliary equipment were positioned precisely according to the client’s foundation layout.
Electrical and Hydraulic Connections: Engineers supervised all wiring and hydraulic piping to ensure safe and stable operation.
Dry Run Testing: The machine was operated without material to verify motion sequences, vibration performance, and hydraulic reliability.
Trial Production: Moulds were installed and tested with actual concrete material. Each product type—hollow blocks, U-shaped blocks, pavers, and curb stones—was trialed individually to confirm proper compaction, accurate block dimensions, and efficient demoulding.
Operator Training
After installation, Hawen engineers conducted 18 days of comprehensive on-site training for the client's operators, covering:
Safe operation of the QT5-15 main forming machine and JS500 twin-shaft concrete mixer
Accurate batching and proportioning of raw materials to ensure consistent block quality
Step-by-step mould change procedures for hollow blocks, U-shaped blocks, pavers, and curb stones
Proper use of GMT pallets for block handling and demoulding
Routine maintenance and troubleshooting for long-term reliability
This training ensures the client's team can independently operate the full production line while maintaining high-quality output and stable production efficiency.
