Do you want to know how a concrete block is made?

We tell you in this article. But first we want to start explaining this concept. For what we go to Wikipedia:

A concrete block is a prefabricated masonry, made with fine concrete or cement mortars, used in the construction of walls and walls. The blocks are prismatic in shape, with normalized dimensions, and are usually essentially hollow. Its usual dimensions in centimeters are 10x20x40, 20x20x40, 22.5x20x50. 5 × 5 × 5.

Of course, first of all it should be noted that to make a concrete block, we will have to distinguish its purposes. That is, it will not be the same to make a supporting or structural block (it will support construction loads) than a self-supporting one (uses in partition walls and interior divisions).

And, we add a Wikipedia text again:

The blocks are manufactured by pouring a mixture of cement, sand and stone aggregates (usually limestone) [1] into metal molds, where they undergo a vibrating process to compact the material. It is common to use additives in the mixture to modify its strength, texture or color properties. The resistance of each type of block is subject to the construction standards of each country; This is why the optimal dosing process is important.

Knowledge and machinery necessary to manufacture concrete slabs

In order to manufacture concrete slabs, it is necessary to combine knowledge about the product with the latest technology machinery. Something we can boast in Poyatos.

Thus, on the one hand it is very important to know how to differentiate the types of cement blocks and the quality of each of them. Based on its density and strength, also take into account the use that will be made of the final product. All this, seeking to reduce manufacturing costs, so that production is as profitable as possible.

And, on the opposite side, we have the high technology  machinery with the latest advances,

A suitable machine made concrete products that allows us to produce high quality blocks.

Concrete block in Poyatos

In Poyatos we have the latest technology for the manufacture of concrete slabs We have high production blocks and automatic concrete block machines that adapt to the needs of each project.

In addition, we present a wide variety of machinery for special finishing for concrete block. Our range of machinery for the treatment of prefabricated surfaces and for the special finish includes spitters, aging agents for the finishing of cobblestones, shot blasting and bush hammers, color dosing systems, ColorMix systems for the effect of color gradient, etc.
