Building a Wear and Changeover Inspection Record
Build a consistent record of mould condition during wear reviews and changeovers. Link photographs and product observations to the correct tool so replacement decisions have useful evidence.

HAWEN's QUADRA Q10 work in Morocco includes hollow block tooling and a repeat order for Hourdis moulds. The two product groups require different forming geometries. Each solution is developed around an identified product drawing and the customer's machine configuration, with the upper and lower assemblies reviewed together.

The hollow block tooling combines a mould box and core arrangement with matching upper pressing elements. The product drawing needs to define outside dimensions, hole pattern, wall and web thicknesses and edge profiles. Completed assembly and component views support discussion of the forming surfaces and supporting frame.
The repeat Moroccan Hourdis order comprised two moulds for a QUADRA Q10 using 1200 x 1150 mm pallets:
518 x 80 x 200 mm blocks with 20 pieces per mould.
518 x 160 x 200 mm blocks with 12 pieces per mould.
These dimensions and outputs belong to the Hourdis order. They should not be applied automatically to the separate hollow block project or a new Q10 installation.

Confirm pallet dimensions, existing mould interfaces, working height and upper assembly connections. Review filling access, pressing-element alignment, cavity layout and the intended demoulding movement with the complete frame. Drawings and photographs of current tooling help identify the connections to retain and any installation changes before manufacture.
For the Hourdis order, HAWEN inspected the finished mould structure, dimensions and forming cavities before shipment. Define the checks and records required for a new project, including any fitting or trial scope. Production acceptance should consider product dimensions and release together with concrete preparation and machine settings. Agree identification, packing and delivery photographs as part of the handover.
Send HAWEN the block drawings, machine details, pallet size, preferred cavity count and photographs of the current mould. Identify whether the requirement concerns hollow blocks, Hourdis products or a revision to existing tooling so the proposal follows the correct product specification.
