Two Poyatos Novabloc Hollow Block Mould Layouts in Thailand

This Thailand order supplied two hollow block mould layouts for a Poyatos Novabloc machine, with the source confirming different cavity layouts.

Two Production Requirements on the Same Machine

A customer in Thailand ordered two hollow block moulds for its Poyatos Novabloc concrete block machine. Both moulds were designed for 1400 × 900 mm production pallets, but their cavity arrangements differed: one was configured for 26 blocks per cycle and the other for 28.

The central requirement was to accommodate two production configurations within the customer’s existing equipment. Each mould needed its own layout while maintaining compatibility with the same machine and pallet format.

Starting with the Customer’s Actual Production Information

Before manufacturing, HAWEN reviewed the machine specifications, block samples, pallet dimensions and required mould arrangements. These details provided the basis for checking how each block configuration would fit within the available forming area.

The different cavity counts were treated as separate design requirements. A higher number of cavities alone does not establish the suitability of a mould; the arrangement also needs to correspond with the block geometry and the machine’s working conditions. HAWEN developed each layout around the information supplied for that particular mould.

Once the technical details were confirmed, the mould structures were customized for installation on the customer’s Novabloc machine. This linked the cavity design with the mounting and alignment requirements of the existing production equipment.

Manufacturing and Checking Both Configurations

Precision machining, welding and assembly were carried out to maintain the specified cavity dimensions and structural arrangement. Although the two moulds shared a machine platform, each was manufactured and inspected against its own configuration.

After assembly, the inspection covered overall dimensions, cavity layout and tamper-head alignment, together with the relevant machine compatibility dimensions. These checks addressed both the individual forming details and the fit between the assembled components.

Both moulds passed the final inspection and were securely packed for shipment to Thailand.

A Project Built Around Layout Flexibility

The completed order supplied two distinct hollow block mould configurations for one Poyatos Novabloc production system. The 26-cavity and 28-cavity layouts reflected the customer’s different requirements within the same pallet format.

This project highlights the value of reviewing samples, machine data and cavity arrangements together. For HAWEN, the engineering task was to turn that information into two clearly defined mould designs, each prepared for the customer’s existing machine. The shipment completed the supply stage of the project; operating results after installation were not included in the available case records.
