No two concrete block plants are identical. Your raw materials, target products, available floor space, budget, local labor market, and growth plans are unique to your business — which is why a standard, off-the-shelf machine rarely delivers optimal results.
At Poyatos, every project begins with understanding your specific production goals — not selling you a pre-configured machine. We carry out a meticulous study to develop and manufacture customized solutions to block machines, studying how to optimize machinery as much as possible while achieving minimum wear of spare parts, molds, and trays.
In this guide, we explain exactly what can be customized in a Poyatos concrete block machine project, walk through our custom project process from initial consultation to commissioning, and cover the complete range of machines, batching plants, and finishing equipment available for your tailored solution.
What Can Be Customized in a Poyatos Concrete Block Machine Project?
A truly custom project goes far beyond simply selecting a machine model. Here is everything Poyatos can tailor to your specific requirements:
| Customization Area | Options Available |
|---|---|
| Mold configuration | Custom block sizes, shapes, and cavity counts for hollow blocks, solid blocks, pavers, kerbs, decorative lattices |
| Automation level | From semi-automatic (Prima) to fully automated industrial (Megabloc) — matched to your labor market and budget |
| Production capacity | 800 to 5,400 blocks/hour depending on machine and mold configuration |
| Mixer & batching plant | Turbo mixer or planetary mixer, sized to your exact concrete consumption rate |
| Finishing equipment | Splitting, aging, ColorMix coloring, polystyrene injection — added individually or combined |
| Plant layout | Custom 2D/3D plant design matched to your specific building or land plot |
| Robotic palletizing | Custom integration for fully automated end-of-line handling |
| Electrical configuration | Adapted to local voltage standards and power availability |
Every one of these elements can be combined and configured specifically for your project — this is what distinguishes a true custom solution from a standard catalog purchase.

The Poyatos Custom Project Process: From Consultation to Commissioning
Step 1 — Initial Consultation & Requirements Analysis
Our technical team gathers information on your target products, production volume goals, available budget, local market conditions, and growth plans. This is the foundation that determines every subsequent recommendation.
Step 2 — Machine & Configuration Recommendation
Based on your requirements, Poyatos recommends the specific machine model, mold configuration, automation level, and batching plant sized precisely to your production targets — never a generic "one-size-fits-all" recommendation.
Step 3 — Custom Plant Layout Design
Our engineering team produces complete 2D and 3D plant layout drawings — positioning your block machine, batching plant, curing area, and finishing equipment for optimal workflow within your specific building or land plot.
Step 4 — Manufacturing in Our Granada Facility
Poyatos manufactures equipment in its own 30,000 m² facility, equipped with high-tech, robotic and numerical control machinery, following manufacturing processes that allow reduced costs — which are passed on to clients — with high quality in the finishing of equipment.
Step 5 — Installation & On-Site Commissioning
Poyatos technicians install and commission your custom configuration on-site, ensuring every component performs to specification before handover.
Step 6 — Training & Ongoing Technical Support
Operator training and ongoing after-sales technical support are included with every custom project — protecting your investment for the full life of the equipment.
Construction machinery in Poyatos
At Poyatos we design and manufacture under our own patent machinery such as: Block machines, block machines, concrete plants, and machinery for special finishing of concrete blocks.
Thus, among our stock of machinery to block machines you can find:
High Production Block Machines: Universal, Novabloc & Megabloc
For manufacturers requiring maximum output, Poyatos offers three high-production model families — each customizable to your specific product range:
| Machine | Capacity Range | Customization Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Universal | High flexible capacity | Widest range of mold compatibility for diverse product lines |

At Poyatos, we are manufacturers of block making machines for the production of precast concrete, specializing in comprehensive solutions for the implementation of block making factories — including the Universal, Novabloc, and Megabloc models.
Each of these machines can be custom-configured with specific mold sets for your target products — hollow blocks, solid blocks, pavers, kerbs, or decorative items — and integrated with custom finishing equipment for premium product differentiation.
Automatic Block Machines: Prima & Syncro for Flexible Production
Poyatos also manufactures machinery such as Prima and Syncro that offer large production volumes, while at the same time helping reduce maintenance costs and being more affordable.
| Machine | Best Custom Fit For |
| Prima | Entrepreneurs starting their first plant, developing markets, lower electrical infrastructure |
| Syncro | Growing operations wanting automation with minimal maintenance requirements |
Custom projects based on Prima or Syncro typically focus on mold customization for specific local market product demand, and phased automation upgrades that allow manufacturers to start with semi-automatic production and add automation components as their business grows.
Custom Concrete Batching Plants: Turbomixer & Planetary Mixer Options
To offer "turnkey" factories, Poyatos manufactures concrete plants that carry out the complete process of dosing, transportation and mixing.
| Mixer Type | Drive Options | Best Custom Application |
| Turbomixer | Manual and automatic drive, using pneumatic or hydraulic system — adapts to the type of block machine used | Standard block production requiring fast, simple mixing cycles |
| Planetary Machine | State-of-the-art machinery ensuring a smoother process and faster block production | Colored blocks, face-mix products, and premium concrete formulas |
Every batching plant project is custom-sized to match your specific block machine's concrete consumption rate — Poyatos calculates this precisely for every installation, ensuring your mixer never becomes a production bottleneck.
Custom Finishing Machinery for Specialized Concrete Products
Poyatos's range of machinery for prefabricated surface treatment and special finishing includes splitting machines, aging machines for finishing paving stones, shot blasting machines and bush hammering machines, and color dosing systems including ColorMix systems for the color gradient effect.
Custom finishing combinations Poyatos can configure:
| Combination | Resulting Product | Market Application |
| Splitting only | Split-face blocks | Garden walls, retaining structures |
| Aging only | Weathered/textured blocks | Heritage, landscaping projects |
| ColorMix only | Solid color decorative blocks | Residential paving |
| Splitting + Aging | Premium natural stone look | High-end architectural facades |
