The BS-42 represents a significant advancement in automated concrete block production technology, combining hydraulic power with intelligent PLC control systems to deliver consistent, high-quality output. This machine operates within a 100-160 bar pressure range, providing the force necessary to produce dense, durable concrete products while maintaining precise control over every aspect of the manufacturing process. Both the main production unit and the integrated batching plant work in harmony through Schneider PLC automation, ensuring seamless coordination throughout the entire production cycle.
What sets the BS-42 apart is its fully automated product handling system. The machine incorporates a specialized picking robot that removes finished products from the mold and transfers them to wooden pallets for curing. This automation eliminates manual handling during the initial production stage, but it does require careful planning regarding curing time and pallet inventory. Since products are robotically placed and need adequate drying periods before further handling, facilities must maintain sufficient pallet stock to accommodate continuous production. Operators can choose between forklift transport or an automated robot carrying system for moving pallets through the curing area, depending on their facility layout and production volume requirements.
The batching plant integrated with the BS-42 offers remarkable flexibility. While primarily designed for dry mortar mixing, it can be configured to handle wet mortar applications as well. This dual capability allows producers to adapt their mix designs based on specific product requirements or environmental conditions without investing in separate batching equipment.
With a production capacity of 130-140 pallets per hour, the BS-42 can produce approximately 18,000 standard 20x40x20 cm blocks or 40,000 interlock pavers during an eight-hour shift. Each pressing cycle yields 18 blocks or 42 interlock units, demonstrating the machine's efficiency in maximizing material usage. The system employs a classic belt and pulley vibration mechanism, utilizing three 2 kW upper vibrators and four 4 kW lower vibrators to generate 30,000 units of total vibration force. This powerful vibration system ensures complete compaction and uniform density throughout each product.
The machine accommodates pallets measuring 1,400 x 1,350 x 230 mm and can produce blocks up to 600 mm in height, making it suitable for manufacturing a wide range of concrete products. The robust chassis features 10 mm thick frame construction, providing the stability necessary for consistent production under continuous operation. The 1.8 cubic meter hopper capacity and 600-liter hydraulic oil reservoir support extended production runs without frequent refilling.
Technical specifications include a total electrical capacity of 300 kW, with EFF3 class motors throughout for improved energy efficiency. The machine qualifies for A+ energy rating, reflecting its optimized power consumption design. The stacking system robot handles 5-7 layers and includes hydraulic-driven cleaning brushes for maintaining clean mold surfaces. The dry product cubing robot features a 7.5 kW pump delivering 40 liters per minute, a 3 kW profile propulsion motor at 150 rpm, and a 1.1 kW rotational motor at 22 rpm for precise product handling.
Mussan backs the BS-42 with comprehensive support including free spare parts, a 2+2 year warranty totaling four years of coverage, and ISO 9001:2008 certification. The machine meets CE European standards and utilizes materials conforming to DIN and TSEK specifications. Operators receive thorough training with authorization certification, and the intuitive PLC interface allows easy program selection with auto/manual options. The system can stop, standby, and resume production from the exact point it was interrupted, minimizing downtime and material waste. This combination of robust engineering, intelligent automation, and manufacturer support makes the BS-42 a reliable choice for serious concrete product manufacturers.
