HOW IT WORKS

How are concrete blocks manufactured with Poyatos machines?

Making a standard concrete block is a 3-step process: mix the concrete, press and compact it in a mould, then cure it. But a standard block is just the beginning. With Poyatos finishing equipment, you can transform that plain block into a premium product that sells for significantly more.

Here is how the finishing process works:

  • Splitters cut the block surface after pressing — creating a rough, natural stone texture
  • Aging machines tumble or hammer the surface — giving blocks an antique, weathered appearance
  • Colour mixing systems add pigment during or after pressing — giving blocks consistent colour throughout
  • Insulation insert devices place thermal insulation inside the block during moulding — producing energy-efficient insulated blocks

Why Add Finishing Equipment to Your Production Line?

Finishing equipment is one of the best investments you can make in your concrete block plant. A standard hollow block sells at a basic price. The same block with a split-face texture, a decorative colour, or an aged finish can sell for 30–50% more. Our finishing machines let you produce premium products from the same block machine — just by adding one step to the production process.

ISO Certified — Built in Spain Since 1975

Every Poyatos finishing machine is ISO certified and CE marked — built and tested in our plant in Granada, Spain before delivery. You get a machine that has already been checked and proven to work.

FINISHING MACHINES — FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

A splitter machine breaks the face of a concrete block after it has been pressed and cured. The split surface looks like natural stone — rough, textured, and visually attractive. Blocks with a split-face finish are used for garden walls, retaining walls, and decorative facades. They sell at a higher price than plain blocks because of their premium appearance.

An aging machine tumbles or hammers the surface of concrete blocks or pavers to give them a worn, antique appearance. This type of finish is very popular in landscaping, town squares, and heritage-style construction projects. Poyatos aging machines can process large volumes of blocks per hour and are available as standalone or inline production units.

A colour mixing system adds pigment to the concrete during production — either in the full block mix or just in the face layer for face-mix blocks. The result is a block or paver with a consistent, attractive colour throughout. Coloured blocks and pavers are used in public spaces, driveways, and premium construction projects — and sell at significantly higher prices than plain grey blocks.

This machine automatically places insulation material inside the block mould during production. The finished block contains built-in thermal insulation — making it ideal for energy-efficient buildings. In many markets, insulated blocks are required by building regulations. This device allows you to produce insulated blocks on your existing Poyatos machine without major modifications.

Yes. All Poyatos finishing machines are designed to be compatible with our block machines — including the Prima, Syncro, Universal, Novabloc, and Megabloc.
