Find Answers for the Mold Type You Are Considering

HAWEN's published information for applicable mold configurations references approximately 100,000–120,000 cycles. Actual service life depends on aggregates, production intensity, machine condition, maintenance, and operating parameters....

It is a mold designed to produce zigzag-shaped paving blocks whose geometry allows neighboring pavers to interlock. The shape is commonly selected where pavement stability and interlocking behavior are important....

Wear is influenced by the aggregate, mold geometry, machine settings, and production conditions. Edges and profile areas that repeatedly contact abrasive concrete material require particular attention during inspection....

Yes, where technically suitable. The required profile should be clearly indicated on the block drawing so it can be incorporated into the mold design....

Yes. Customers can provide a detailed drawing or physical sample together with machine information. HAWEN can evaluate the geometry and develop the corresponding mold....

HAWEN will evaluate the geometry from a mold-manufacturing and production perspective. Features such as undercuts, very thin sections, deep cavities, complex internal profiles, or movable elements may require a different mold structure or further technical discussion. For applicable special designs, HAWEN's published mold capabilities include solutions invol...

A custom mold has to satisfy two requirements at the same time: it must reproduce the required concrete product geometry, and it must operate correctly on the customer's production equipment. Providing both sets of information helps avoid designing a mold that produces the correct shape but does not match the machine....

For applicable HAWEN mold components, surface hardness can reach approximately HRC 58–62 after heat treatment. The exact material and treatment process depend on the mold structure and production requirements....

The male/female or corresponding interlocking sections must fit consistently during installation. Excessive dimensional variation can affect alignment, installation efficiency, and the appearance of the completed wall or pavement....

The main difference is the internal mold structure. Hollow block molds use core components to create cavities inside the block, while solid block molds produce blocks without large internal voids. This difference affects mold design, material distribution, filling, pressing, and demolding....

Yes. If an original technical drawing is available, it can be used as an important reference. If not, customers can provide existing mold dimensions, detailed photos, machine information, and finished block specifications for technical evaluation....

Complex or thin sections can increase the requirements for filling, compaction, core strength, wear control, and demolding. For this reason, HAWEN evaluates the proposed block geometry before finalizing the mold structure....

Yes, subject to technical confirmation. The machine model, working area, connection dimensions, existing mold information, and required block specifications should be checked before production....

HAWEN can manufacture molds for different concrete curbstone and kerbstone profiles according to customer drawings, samples, dimensions, and machine specifications. Different lengths, heights, widths, edge profiles, slopes, and special geometries can be evaluated for customization....

Yes. These geometric features can be incorporated into the mold design according to the required curbstone profile and manufacturing feasibility. A cross-sectional drawing is particularly useful for curbstone projects because small profile differences can significantly change the finished product....
