SOLUTIONS
One partner from plan to production.
Plant layout, machine selection, automation, installation and commissioning around your goals.
Five stages, one production plan.
Batching, pressing or vibro-compaction, handling, curing and cubing.
AUTOMATION
Automate in stages, in the order that pays.
Most plants do not need everything at once. We find the bottleneck, cost the module that clears it, and leave room for the next one.
Find the bottleneck
Usually it is not the press. It is de-moulding, curing capacity or how product leaves the machine.
01
Cost the one module
We quote the single module that clears it, with the output gain it should deliver.
02
Install without stopping
Modules are engineered to drop into the existing line with minimal production downtime.
03
Leave room for the next
Every installation is designed so the following stage bolts on rather than replaces.
04
Modules
Five modules we offer.
Each one is engineered to your layout and interfaces with the machine you already have.
01 • Product transfer
Transfer car and cubing
A transfer car moves cured pallets from the racks to the de-moulding station, and the cubing unit stacks finished product ready for the yard. It removes the forklift trips that usually sit between curing and dispatch.
02 • Rack handling
Gantry loader and unloader
A gantry lifts full pallets off the machine into the curing rack and returns empty pallets to the press. This is the module that lets one operator run the wet side instead of three.
03 • Pallet circulation
Conveyor loop
A closed pallet circuit returns empty pallets from the de-moulding end back to the press. The machine never waits for a pallet, and nobody carries one.
04 • Whole line
Full automated cell
Batching, pressing, rack handling, curing and cubing under a single PLC, with every stage sized to the same cycle time. This is the configuration behind the fully automatic plant layouts.
05 • Material flow
Material handling loop
Aggregate and cement feed, the mixer and the pre-feed hopper, tied into the press cycle so the mix arrives at the rate the machine consumes it rather than in batches.
Plant layouts
Drawn before a bolt is cut.
Five standard layouts, A through C plus, each adapted to your footprint, product mix and curing method. Layout A is shown here.
Layout A is the fully automatic plant. Batching and silos, the press, automatic rack loading and unloading, a curing chamber, de-moulding and cubing, all under one PLC. It suits a plant running two shifts where the people on the floor are running the line rather than moving pallets. Layouts B, B plus, C and C plus step down from it, trading automation for capital, and we will show you the one that fits your footprint and your curing method.
Send us your current layout.
A sketch is enough. We will mark where the bottleneck is, what clears it, and what it costs, before you commit to anything.
