Frequently asked questions

Straight answers on machine capacity, power supply, mould sizes and how we quote. Every figure below is taken from the same specification sheets that drive the catalogue — nothing here is rounded for marketing.

Ordering and general questions

How do I get a price for a machine?

Send the model or the capacity you need, the quantity and your destination port, using the enquiry form or WhatsApp. We reply with a quotation that has been checked against the specification, because the power supply, mould size and packing all change the final figure. Nothing on this site is priced at retail: the block-machine line is the only range where an EXW price is published, and every other model is quoted to your requirement.

How do I choose between a mobile and a stationary block making machine?

A mobile machine carries its own wheels and can be towed between stockpiles, so it suits a yard that produces blocks in several places or a contractor working on scattered sites. A machine with a hopper and a higher output is the better choice when you pour in one fixed position and want the highest brick count per shift. The catalogue output figures are 3,600 to 20,000 standard bricks per shift, so the decision is usually made on volume rather than on machine size.

Do you accept OEM and ODM orders?

Yes. Moulds are produced in our own workshop, so custom block and column profiles are made to your drawing rather than resold from a third party. We have welcomed OEM and ODM orders since the company was established in 2015.

Where are you located, and how long have you been trading?

We are based in Zhengzhou, Henan, China, and have been established since 2015. Our plant and warehouse cover more than 3,500 m² and run eight 200T injection moulding machines, which is where the concrete mould range is produced.

Will the machine run on the power supply I have on site?

Block making machines are offered in both 380V and 220V versions, so tell us which supply you have when you enquire. For three-phase machinery, tell us single-phase or three-phase as well — a site supplied with a single-phase domestic supply needs a different motor specification from an industrial three-phase supply, and confirming it before shipment is far cheaper than correcting it afterwards.

What is the difference between an electric and a petrol concrete vibrator?

The electric poker vibrator runs from a 2.2 kW motor on a 50 mm poker head with a 4 m hose, and suits a site that already has power and pours in one place. The petrol poker vibrator uses a 196 cc, 4-stroke engine rated at 3.8 kW and can be supplied with a hose between 4 m and 10 m, so it is the choice where there is no mains supply or where the pour moves around.

Can I buy spare moulds for a block machine?

Yes. Each block machine is quoted with its mould, and additional moulds are available separately so one machine can produce more than one block profile. Additional moulds are listed against each model on its product page.

Are the photographs on this site of the actual machines?

The product photographs are supplied by the factories that build the machines. Where a photograph still carries a supplier watermark or a promotional caption we would rather say so than present a stock image as our own: three models in the current catalogue are awaiting clean photography, and until it arrives their listing images are weaker than the rest.

How many bricks does a mobile block making machine produce?

Between 3,600 and 20,000 standard bricks per shift, depending on the model. The smallest machine, the R2-45, produces 3,600 standard bricks (240 × 53 × 115 mm) or 600 hollow blocks (390 × 190 × 190 mm) per shift. The R4-35AH and R4-35BH, which both use a hopper, reach 20,000 standard bricks or 3,200 hollow blocks per shift.

What is the moulding cycle time of these machines?

The 45 series machines cycle in 45 seconds and the 35 series in 35 seconds. A shorter cycle means more moulds per hour from the same machine, which is why the 35 series is specified where output matters more than machine weight.

Do the machines run on diesel or electricity?

Most models run on a 380V or 220V electric motor, ranging from 1.1 kW on the R2-45 to 6.3 kW on the R4-35BH. The RD2-45 is the exception: it is driven by an 8 hp diesel engine, which suits sites with no reliable mains supply.

What is the difference between the A and B versions of the R4-35?

Motor power, and consequently output per hour. The R4-35A carries a 4.8 kW motor and the R4-35B a 6.3 kW motor; both mould in 35 seconds and both are offered with or without a hopper. The 6.3 kW version weighs about 50 kg more.

What does "with hopper" mean on these models?

A hopper holds raw material above the mould box so it feeds continuously instead of being shovelled in by hand. On the R4-35 series the hopper version raises output from 15,000 to 20,000 standard bricks per shift, which is the largest single jump in the range.

Rebar Processing Machines — questions

Browse the Rebar Processing Machines range.

What is the difference between a rebar bender and a rebar cutter?

They do opposite jobs and neither replaces the other. A bender forms bar into stirrups, hooks and bends at a controlled radius. A cutter severs bar cleanly to length. Most fabrication yards need both, which is why they are supplied as separate machines with separate capacity ratings.

How do I match the machine capacity to my rebar?

The number in each model name is its bending or cutting capacity in millimetres, measured on round bar. A 40 mm machine handles bar up to 40 mm; a 60 mm machine handles up to 60 mm. Choose from the largest bar in the job, not the average — a machine run constantly at its limit wears faster than one with headroom.

What bar sizes can the 50 mm cutting machine handle?

The 50 mm cutter is rated for 36 mm threaded bar and 38 mm round bar, with a machine size of 1420 × 550 × 810 mm and a weight of 408 kg. It ships in a 1450 × 570 × 850 mm wooden case.

How much floor space does a rebar bender need?

The 50 mm bender measures 960 × 810 × 810 mm and weighs 322 kg, and its wooden export case measures 980 × 830 × 830 mm at 350 kg. Allow working space around the machine for the bar to swing when it is bent.

Can one machine bend and cut?

No. Bending and cutting are mechanically different operations and combination machines compromise both. The catalogue lists them as separate units so each can be specified at the capacity the job actually needs.

Concrete Floor Equipment — questions

Browse the Concrete Floor Equipment range.

What is the difference between a power trowel and a vibrating screed?

They work at different stages of the same slab. A vibrating screed strikes off and compacts wet concrete immediately after pouring, removing the high spots and driving out air. A power trowel then works the surface after it has begun to set, floating it and then bringing up a hard, closed finish. Using a trowel on a slab that has not been screeded properly is what produces an uneven floor.

Which power trowel do I need — walk-behind or ride-on?

A walk-behind trowel with a 1000 mm disc suits slabs a few hundred square metres at a time and costs a fraction of a ride-on machine. A ride-on trowel covers roughly 2,500 m² per day with two 800 mm rotors on a 1600 mm working width, so it becomes worthwhile on large warehouse and yard slabs where operator fatigue and time are the limiting factors.

What is a high-speed edge trowel for?

It finishes the strip along walls, columns and openings that a full-size trowel cannot reach because its guard ring fouls the obstruction. The edging machine runs a 570 mm disc at about 110 rpm and weighs 55 kg, so it is light enough for one operator to work along a wall line.

What does a floor scarifier do that a grinder cannot?

A scarifier removes material by impact rather than abrasion. It carries a rotating drum of cutters that mill a controlled depth — 1 to 6 mm on the 250 mm model and up to 20 mm on the 350 mm and 500 mm models — which is how you strip coatings, level a slab or key a surface for a new topping without loading abrasive discs with gum.

When do I need a remote-controlled scarifier?

When the working width or the depth of cut makes the machine too heavy to steer by hand. The 500 mm remote-control machine weighs 800 kg and planes up to 20 mm deep with 198 cutters; the operator stands clear of the dust and the drum.

What does 300N mean on the rotary hammer?

It is the model designation of the tool quoted here, not a torque figure. The drill itself runs on a 21 V / 6.0 Ah battery, has a 13 mm chuck, a bare weight of 1.26 kg and no-load speed up to 3,000 rpm, and is supplied as a three-function machine with interchangeable 10, 15 and 20 cell battery options.

What is the largest tile the C10 cutter handles?

The largest model in the range cuts up to 1,800 mm. The C10 is offered in 1,200 mm, 1,600 mm and 1,800 mm versions, all cutting to a maximum thickness of 15 mm, with the 1,200 mm machine weighing 27.6 kg and the 1,800 mm machine 33 kg.

What does a single disc floor scrubber do?

It scrubs, and with the right disc it also strips and polishes. The DJ175 runs a 17 inch disc at 175 rpm from a 1,200 W motor on a 220–240 V supply, weighs 48 kg and takes a 15 m cable. Brush, carpet brush and pad holder are the three attachments. A heavier 1,500 W version running at 154 rpm uses a cast weight of 28.3 kg for more downward pressure.

Do these tools ship with batteries?

The rotary hammer is specified with a 21 V / 6.0 Ah battery and is available with 10, 15 or 20 cell packs, so tell us which pack you want when you enquire. The cordless angle grinder takes a 21 V pack and is quoted with two batteries and a charger.

How deep will the concrete road cutter cut?

The 350 mm petrol road cutter cuts to a maximum depth of 80 mm using a 350 mm blade. It is driven by a 6.5 hp petrol engine, travels at 5 to 8 m per minute, weighs 65 kg, measures 850 × 450 × 750 mm and carries a 6.5 litre water tank for dust suppression. The blade is supplied separately from the machine.

What is a reverse drum mixer used for?

The drum turns one way to mix and the opposite way to discharge, so the operator controls the pour without tipping the drum by hand. The 350 litre model is specified with a diesel engine and a hydraulic skip, which lifts the batch to the drum. It is the machine for a site that pours small batches regularly rather than receiving ready-mix.

How loud is the 9.5 kW diesel generator?

The open-frame version is rated at about 90 dB and the silent canopy version at about 70 dB. That difference is the reason the silent set weighs 162 kg against 117 kg for the open version: the canopy is a sound-attenuated enclosure, not a cosmetic cover.

What can the 9.5 kW generator actually power?

It is rated at 9.5 kW continuous and 11 kW maximum, with 220 V and 380 V outputs at 43 A and 15 A respectively. It runs a 531 cc single-cylinder air-cooled diesel engine with direct injection, uses about 1.5 litres of fuel per hour and carries a 16 litre tank in the silent version or 12 litres in the open version.

Why does the poker vibrator matter on a pour?

It removes the air pockets that leave honeycombing in a wall or a column face. The electric unit uses a 50 mm poker on a 4 m hose from a 2.2 kW motor; the petrol unit uses a 196 cc, 4-stroke engine rated at 3.8 kW and can take a hose of 4 to 10 m, with a 3.6 litre fuel tank and 0.6 litre oil sump.

Adjustable Column Moulds — questions

Browse the Adjustable Column Moulds range.

How does an adjustable column mould work?

Sliding panels move inside a fixed frame, so one mould casts a range of column sizes instead of a single fixed dimension. You set the panel position, lock it, and pour. This is why a set of adjustable moulds replaces a much larger set of fixed moulds on a yard that produces more than one column size.

What column sizes can I cast with these moulds?

It depends on the mould. The 425 × 600 mm mould with five holes casts 150, 200, 250, 300 and 350 mm columns; the two-hole version casts 300 and 350 mm. The 675 × 600 mm mould covers 200 to 600 mm, the 725 × 600 mm mould covers 150 to 650 mm, and the 750 × 730 mm mould covers 50 to 600 mm in 50 mm steps.

What is the difference between the square and round column moulds?

Square moulds cast the rectangular columns used for porches, fences and gate pillars. The round moulds cast columns of 300, 350, 400, 450 and 500 mm diameter at a forming height of 750 mm, which is the classical Roman column profile.

What are the moulds made from?

They are produced in our own workshop by injection moulding, and are offered in PP, new PP and ABS. The material choice affects how the surface takes a finish and how the mould behaves after repeated stripping; tell us the surface finish you are selling and we will advise which of the three to specify.

Will the moulds cast a smooth finish straight out of the mould?

The mould determines the surface, so the panel finish is what the concrete takes. Release agent and mix design still matter — a dry mix pulled too early will tear the surface regardless of the mould. That is a casting technique question as much as a mould question, and it is worth settling before you order a large quantity of one profile.

Still not sure which model fits?

Describe what you need to produce and the power supply you have. We will point you at the model that matches rather than the largest one on the page.
