What are the main characteristics of these block making machines?

Universal block making machines can be a great option, as they are a model of automatic block machines that offer great reliability in the finishes, in addition to having synchronized unidirectional vibration and minimal maintenance.

The Poyatos Universal block making machine is one of the most advanced and reliable solutions on the market for manufacturing concrete blocks and products used in industrial and civil construction. Its fully automated design allows for efficient production with a single operator, offering significant technical, operational, and economic advantages over more traditional equipment.

Below, we explain why this machine has become one of the most sought-after by plants that want to maximize their production with minimal effort and cost.

And, of course, it stands out for eliminating losses due to zero production or production failures. Being a fully automated system, it results in a highly optimized factory with low energy consumption that is easy to operate and maintain.

1. Total automation for maximum efficiency

Universal block making machines operate in a fully automated manner thanks to intuitive and customized software that controls all phases of the process: from the mixing of materials to the final packaging of the products.

This means:

  • Only one operator is needed for supervision and control.
  • Elimination of repetitive tasks and human error.
  • Faster process management with less manual intervention.

Automation not only improves efficiency, but also reduces labor costs and production times, resulting in better economic returns for your plant.

2. Maximum production of concrete block machines

We're talking about a high-production block-making machine. This is thanks to its 10-level, double-deck elevator that handles the vertical movement of the blocks, and an automatic palletizer with pallet storage and roller conveyor installed on-site.

We've included the following video so you can see part of how it works:

3. Technical flexibility and adaptability of the machine

One of the great advantages of Universal is its flexibility to adapt to different production lines. This includes the ability to:

  • Use trays of varying sizes (up to 1400 x 900 mm) depending on product requirements.
  • Incorporate customized options for the multi-fork trolley (with different heights, load capacities, or turning capabilities).
  • Integrate an electromechanical automatic palletizer that speeds up and organizes the output of finished products.
  • All of this allows manufacturers to adapt the plant to different types of blocks and products with a lower adjustment cost.

Comparative table: Universal vs Universal 900

Feature Universal (standard) Universal 900

Maximum tray size (mm)

1.400 × 750 1.400 × 900
Feature 1.300 × 690 1.300 × 850
Time per cycle 13 seg 14 seg
15×20×40 blocks per hour ~3.323 ~4.100
20x20x40 blocks per hour ~2.492 ~3.086
10x20 cobblestones per hour (m²) 199 216

4. Intelligent management with digital control

The Universal integrates a control panel with a touch screen that facilitates the monitoring of all operating parameters in real time.

With this system you can:

  • Monitor production, consumption, and alerts.
  • Access statistics and maintenance data.
  • Adjust parameters according to the type of product you need to manufacture.
  • Receive remote support and assistance from Poyatos.

This connectivity not only improves operational efficiency, but also anticipates potential failures before they become major problems.

5. Minimal energy consumption and lower operating costs

Thanks to its optimized design:

  1. Automated production reduces energy consumption compared to other machines that require additional auxiliary equipment.
  2. The hydraulic system with a variable-displacement piston pump operates efficiently at moderate power levels (approximately 30 kW).
  3. Integrated palletizing and lifting systems speed up cycle times and reduce labor costs.
  4. This makes the Universal block-making machine an ideal choice for companies seeking efficiency without compromising performance.

Why choose the Universal block making machine from Poyatos?

  1. High, consistent, and reliable output.
  2. Efficient operation with a single operator.
  3. Reduced maintenance and downtime.
  4. Flexible product sizes and configurations.
  5. Advanced digital control and remote assistance capabilities.

In short, the Universal is a strategic investment for manufacturers of concrete blocks and products who seek to maximize their productivity and guarantee quality in every production cycle.
