Careful planning is decisive in
the selection of
concrete block-making machines.
The planning should consider
the production requirements and site-specific parameters.
The selection of
concrete block-
making machines depends on various factors as discussed below.
Automation
There are mainly two types of automation available for
concrete block-making machines; fully automatic
concrete block-
making machines and semi-automatic
concrete block-
making machines.
Production Capacity
These machines have different production capacities that may vary in
their working areas according to
their production capacities. Firms with low production levels generally prefer manual production machines, while firms with high production levels prefer semi-automatic or fully automatic production machines. Production Capacity ranges from 500 per shift. up to 25,00 and per hour.
Mobility
There are two types of
concrete block-making machines based on movability:
the stationary type and
the mobile type. Mobile
concrete block-
making machines also known as egg-laying brick-
making machines have
the capability of moving. A stationary
concrete block-
making machine needs to be established on a hard,
concrete foundation. This machine uses pallets to produce
concrete products.
Compression Efficiency
Compression in
the concrete block-
making machine is done by employing hydraulic cylinders, which can produce a much stronger
block, thus reducing
the cement consumption even fur
ther.
