At Changsha Aichen Machinery Co., Ltd., we pride ourselves on delivering block production solutions for the construction and building materials industries. One of our best selling products is the QT10-15 paver block manufacturing plant, a high-efficiency, fully automatic block production line that plays a critical role in modern urban infrastructure. But how exactly does QT10-15 pavement blocks machine produce pavement blocks?
Step 1: Preparing the Raw Materials
The first step in the process is preparing the raw material mix. The QT10-15 block machine uses a precise combination of:
- Cement
- Sand
- Gravel
- Water
- Optional: Pigments or additives for color and performance
These materials are loaded into batching equipment, which measures and mixes them in accurate proportions.
Step 2: Feeding and Mixing
The raw materials are transferred into a twin-shaft mixer, where they are thoroughly blended to form a consistent concrete mix. This is crucial for ensuring high block strength and uniformity.
Once mixed, the material is conveyed to a hopper above the block-forming machine, ready for molding.
Step 3: Block Molding
This is where the QT10-15 block making machine’s advanced technology comes into play. The machine includes a vibration and hydraulic pressing system that ensures high compaction and density.
The molding process includes:
- Filling the Mold: The concrete mix is dropped into a mold cavity.
- Vibration and Compression: Vibrators and hydraulic pressure compact the mix inside the mold, ensuring high density.
- Forming the Block: After compression, the newly formed paver block is released from the mold onto a pallet.
The QT10-15 can produce multiple blocks in each cycle—up to 10 standard blocks or 15 smaller pavers—making it ideal for large-scale production.
Step 4: Curing the Blocks
After molding, the green (unhardened) blocks are stacked and transferred to a curing area or chamber. Curing is essential to achieve full strength and durability.
- Typically, blocks are cured for 24 to 48 hours.
- Steam or water curing can be used to accelerate the process and improve quality.
Step 5: Final Products – Ready for Use
Once cured, the pavement blocks are ready for inspection, packaging, and delivery. The QT10-15 brick machine is capable of producing various types, shapes, and colors of paver blocks, including:
- Zigzag pavers
- I-shape pavers
- Hexagon pavers
- Interlocking tiles
Thanks to its high precision, low maintenance, and robust construction, the QT10-15 brick making machine ensures that each block meets strict quality and dimensional standards.
