Producing two hollow block widths on the same machine requires a separate mould layout for each product. HAWEN's project for a new customer in Gdansk, Poland, supplied two mould sets for a TECHMATIK SHP 5000 PRO C, developed around the specified blocks and machine installation.

Shipped in early August 2026, the order used a 1400 x 1100 mm pallet configuration and covered:
500 x 200 x 250 mm hollow blocks with 10 pieces per mould.
500 x 250 x 250 mm hollow blocks with 8 pieces per mould.
The different block widths led to different cavity arrangements. These figures describe the Polish order; a new application needs confirmation against its own drawings and machine dimensions.
The lower box, cores and upper pressing elements establish the outside profile, internal openings and concrete sections. Confirm length, width, height, wall and web thicknesses, hole arrangement and special edge features. For replacement tooling, mark the features to retain and any requested revision so the proposed layout has a clear product reference.

The Gdansk drawing review included cavity arrangement, mould height, tamper-head matching and installation dimensions. For a new enquiry, provide current mounting information and machine interface drawings together with pallet dimensions. Review working clearances, frame connections and available space as part of the complete assembly before the design is approved.
Agree checks on the forming geometry, component alignment and installation points, together with any required inspection records. The project photographs show both complete moulds and the order wrapped and supported for transport. Specify identification, protection and handling requirements early so the finished assemblies can be checked against the delivery information before installation.
Send HAWEN the exact machine model, block drawings, pallet dimensions and preferred pieces per cycle. Include existing mould photographs and any installation or product-quality issues to address. These details allow the team to define the proposed tooling, validation requirements and supply scope for your line.
