Concrete Block Machine for making bricks and blocks

MEC Evolution-20 Concrete Block Machine

Fully automatic concrete block machine

Mecmetal specialize in fully electromechanical concrete block machines that produce a wide range of concrete products, including masonry blocks, landscaping products, and specialized items like insulated concrete blocks and chimney blocks

What is MEC Evolution-20 Concrete Block Machine?

The MEC Evolution-20 concrete block machine is the world’s only fully electromechanical concrete block making machine. Utilizing advanced servo technology, MEC machines achieve up to 90% energy savings compared to hydraulic block machines while maintaining high production capacity. Upgraded Evolution-20 control system further enhance production efficiency while keeping operational costs low.

Market-Leading Efficiency

All MEC Block Machines are fully electromechanical, from the block machine itself to every piece of equipment and attachment. These machines are equipped with powerful and precise servo motors as the primary power source for fast and repetitive movements, such as molding, tamping, and vibration operations. While some AC motors remain in place for practical reasons, everything operates within the same servo control system, making the operation system responsive, smart, and versatile—yet still very user-friendly.

The machine’s design is rooted in decades of experience with tested and constantly evolving mechanical solutions. Additionally, new advancements have been developed through active collaboration with customers, addressing the needs of efficient production and market development. Mecmetal has been manufacturing fully electromechanical block machines since 1996

Concrete intelligence and efficiency

The control system is concretely smart and extremely versatile, but still really user-friendly and easy to use. Improved servo gear motor technology guarantees precise and fast movements in all operating conditions and improves energy efficiency totally to a new level.

The new web-based services are designed to support maximizing production efficiency and responding quickly to any need, any where. New solutions also enable an extensive selection of predictive maintenance and real-time diagnostic services.
