Techmatik SHP 5000 PRO C Hollow Block Moulds in Poland

Two moulds for two hollow block sizes on an existing Techmatik line in Gdańsk, Poland.

Confirmed Project Configuration

HAWEN supplied two mould sets for the customer’s Techmatik SHP 5000 PRO C line in Gdańsk, Poland. The order was shipped in early August 2026. Each piece count belongs to its own mould layout.

Different Block Sizes for an Existing Production Line

A concrete block manufacturer in Gdańsk, Poland, required customized hollow block moulds for its Techmatik SHP 5000 PRO C machine. The production line used 1400 × 1100 mm pallets, and the moulds needed to accommodate the customer’s specified block formats within this existing equipment configuration.

The project included hollow blocks measuring 500 × 200 × 250 mm and 500 × 250 × 250 mm. These products shared the same length and height but differed in width, requiring individual cavity layouts and mould designs.

HAWEN’s task was to translate these product specifications into tooling matched to the customer’s Techmatik machine.

Confirming the Product and Machine Requirements Together

Before manufacturing, HAWEN engineers reviewed the mould dimensions, cavity arrangements and machine compatibility. The customer’s block specifications established the forming geometry, while the machine configuration and pallet size provided the boundaries for the mould design.

The difference in block width meant that each format needed to be considered separately. A common machine platform did not make the mould layouts interchangeable: each design had to accommodate its own product dimensions while maintaining the appropriate fit with the production equipment.

Drawing confirmation brought these requirements together before machining began. This stage provided an agreed technical basis for manufacturing the moulds and checking the completed components.

Machining and Heat Treatment

HAWEN manufactured the moulds using precision CNC machining to control the dimensions of the forming components. The moulds also underwent heat treatment, with a specified hardness of approximately HRC 59–61, to improve wear resistance.

Dimensional control and wear resistance served related purposes in this project. Accurate machining established the required cavity geometry, while heat treatment supported the durability of the working surfaces during repeated use.

Following manufacturing, the project proceeded through final inspection to check the completed moulds against the confirmed requirements.

Tooling Matched to the Customer’s Equipment

The completed project supplied customized moulds for the customer’s hollow block formats and Techmatik SHP 5000 PRO C configuration.

Its defining feature was the coordination of several requirements within one mould project: two block widths, a common pallet format and an existing machine interface. HAWEN addressed these through drawing review, individual mould design, precision machining and heat treatment.

For the Gdańsk customer, the result was tooling developed around the concrete products it needed to manufacture and the production equipment already available at its factory.
