Concrete Block Production Solution

Clarify the production objective

Define the block dimensions, hole pattern, wall and web sections, and special end profiles.

• State whether the project retains an existing product or introduces a revised design.
• Confirm the exact machine model, pallet dimensions and preferred cavity count.

Develop the coordinated mould assembly

The box forms the external block profile, while the cores create the openings. Matching pressing elements work within the corresponding spaces to compact the concrete. Their shape, alignment and working clearances are reviewed with the frame and cavity layout. The available forming area must accommodate both the products and the tooling structure, so output is confirmed during layout review.

Match the actual production line

Review the mould envelope, working height, mounting points and tamper-head connections using current drawings and measurements. Existing tooling photographs help clarify these interfaces. HAWEN's published hollow block projects include MASA, POYATOS, QUADRA and TECHMATIK applications, each with its own configuration. The receiving machine and approved product drawing remain the reference for a new design.

Define manufacturing and acceptance

Agree material, machining, treatment and assembly requirements for the intended conditions. Inspection should cover forming geometry, upper and lower alignment and installation dimensions. Identify areas subject to wear and records required at handover. Where a fitting check or production trial is included, establish the scope and assess block dimensions, edges and release alongside the concrete mix, machine settings and pallet condition.

Prepare your project enquiry

• Send the product drawing, machine information and current mould interface dimensions.
• Include the target output and photographs of the complete mould and important connections.
• Describe recurring defects, requested changes and inspection or delivery needs.

HAWEN can review these inputs to define a custom mould configuration and supply proposal for the hollow block you intend to manufacture.

Solid Block Mould Solutions

Replacing worn tooling or adding a new solid block size requires a mould matched to the product and its production line. HAWEN develops the cavity layout, pressing shoes and supporting frame as one assembly, with product geometry and current machine interfaces established before manufacture.

• Confirm block or brick length, width, height, chamfers, grooves and other profiles.
• Identify whether the requirement retains an existing product or changes its size or features.
• State the preferred output, exact machine model and pallet dimensions.

Thermal Block Mould Solutions

Thermal block tooling must reproduce the specified concrete geometry while accommodating the product's insulation arrangement. HAWEN develops custom mould solutions for new designs and replacement applications, coordinating the lower cavities, pressing elements and supporting frame with the receiving machine.

• Specify overall dimensions, concrete wall thicknesses, internal profiles, grooves and recesses.

For a separate insulation element, include its dimensions, shape, position and fitting requirements.

• State the desired pieces per cycle and the features to retain from an existing product.

Hourdis Block Mould Solutions

A change in Hourdis block width, cavity profile or height affects the tooling required to form it. HAWEN supplies custom mould assemblies based on the approved product drawing and the receiving machine, coordinating the lower box, forming cores and upper pressing elements for the specified production layout.

• Specify overall dimensions, hollow sections, wall and web thicknesses, and edge or seating details.
• Identify each required block version and the preferred pieces per cycle.
• Provide the machine model, pallet size and current installation information.
