The BS-36 represents a sophisticated solution in automated concrete block production, designed to meet the demands of modern manufacturing facilities. This hydraulic-powered machine delivers consistent performance through a pressure system operating between 120 and 150 bar, ensuring optimal compaction and product quality with every cycle. Its production capacity stands out in the industry, manufacturing 15 pieces of 20×40×20 cm blocks or 36 paving stones per pressing cycle, making it an efficient choice for both small-scale operations and large production facilities.
The operational principle of the BS-36 centers on precision and reliability. Concrete material feeds into an 1.8 cubic meter capacity hopper before being precisely distributed into molds. The pressing mechanism then applies controlled hydraulic force, compacting the concrete onto wooden pallets measuring 1400×1150×40 mm. This pallet-based system allows for seamless material handling throughout the production process. Once pressed, the blocks remain on these pallets during the drying phase, eliminating unnecessary transfers and reducing the risk of damage to freshly formed products.
What sets this machine apart is its advanced vibration system, utilizing both upper and lower vibration units. The upper section incorporates two 3 kW motors, while the lower section employs six 4 kW motors, generating a combined vibration force of 30,000 units. This classic belt and pulley vibration mechanism ensures thorough concrete consolidation, removing air pockets and creating dense, durable blocks. The hydraulic inner swing system adds another layer of precision, allowing the machine to handle products ranging from 6 cm to 30 cm in height without compromising stability or quality.
The control architecture deserves particular attention. CONSTMACH engineers developed a PLC automation system featuring a Schneider 10-inch touch screen interface that simplifies operation significantly. Operators can easily switch between automatic and manual modes, select programs for different block types, and monitor production data in real time. The system stores daily production records automatically, providing valuable insights for capacity planning and quality control. If production needs to pause, the machine remembers its exact position and resumes seamlessly when restarted, preventing material waste and maintaining workflow efficiency.
Performance metrics reveal the machine's true capabilities. During an eight-hour shift, the BS-36 can produce between 15,000 and 18,000 standard blocks or up to 36,000 interlocking paving stones. The machine processes 120 to 150 pallets per hour under normal operating conditions, though actual output depends on factors like concrete mix design, curing requirements, and operator proficiency. Products can be stacked five to seven layers high on pallets, optimizing storage space and facilitating efficient material handling with forklifts.
Energy efficiency and component quality form the foundation of this machine's design philosophy. The system uses EFF3 class electric motors that reduce power consumption while maintaining performance, contributing to lower operational costs. Total electricity capacity reaches 250 kW, distributed intelligently across all machine components. The hydraulic system holds 600 liters of oil, properly sized to maintain consistent pressure throughout extended production runs. A hydraulic back dry product system keeps the production area clean, while integrated cleaning brushes maintain mold surfaces automatically.
CONSTMACH backs the BS-36 with comprehensive support and quality assurances. The machine arrives with free spare parts, reducing initial setup costs and ensuring uninterrupted operation during the critical early production phase. A two-year warranty covers both the machine and spare parts, demonstrating the manufacturer's confidence in build quality. Trained technicians provide installation support and operator training, with certification awarded upon completion. Should technical issues arise, remote troubleshooting capabilities allow engineers to diagnose and often resolve problems without site visits, minimizing downtime. The 24/7 service commitment means assistance is always available, whether during initial setup or years into operation. Compliance with CE standards and low voltage directives ensures the machine meets European safety requirements, while materials conforming to DIN and TSEK standards guarantee durability and performance consistency across varying operating conditions.
