Brief Description

Description :

It can cast solid and hollow concrete blocks. The machine is suitable for handling lean concrete mixes of low mobility for making economical concrete blocks using large aggregates of around 50 mm and ensures uniformity in dimensions and density. Casting capacity of machine is solid blocks of size 30 x 20 x 15 cm in one operation giving an output of 1000 blocks per 8 hours shift. It is very useful for making blocks at site especilaay in hilly areas where concrete block is a potential alternative to the first clay bricks. The machine is light in weight, compact and easily transportable from one location to another at site. While working it needs no anchorage with the ground.
