The Block Factory

One connected production process

Material batching, mixing, conveying, moulding and pallet handling work together on the QT5-15 line, followed by curing.

The output end of the line: a stacked pallet of concrete blocks on a pallet truck beside the stacker and QT5-15 main machine.

Output end of the line: the stacker, QT5-15 main machine and a loaded pallet of blocks.

Stages

From batching to stacking

Six stages, then curing.

  1. Batching

    The PLD1200 three-bin batching station prepares aggregate for transfer.

  2. Mixing

    An 8 m conveyor feeds the batched material to the JS500 mixer.

  3. Feeding

    Mixed material travels by conveyor to the main machine hopper.

  4. Moulding

    The QT5-15 combines hydraulic mould movement with vibration.

  5. Transfer

    The pallet feeder and block conveyor move formed products out of the moulding area.

  6. Stacking

    The stacker handles loaded pallets before the products go to curing.

Equipment

The equipment behind each stage

As described in the QT5-15 installation and operation manual. Final scope depends on the confirmed order.

Planning the line

  • The whole production line covers an area of approximately 35 × 21 m.
  • The manual suggests a production workshop of 35 × 12 m plus 8 × 9 m, with a clear height of more than 6 m.
  • Electrical supply: 380 V, 50 Hz, three-phase.
  • Site preparation, foundations and services must follow approved project drawings.

Configuration, moulds, product dimensions and achievable output must be confirmed for your project before ordering. Line arrangement and supplied equipment depend on the confirmed order.
