Paver Block Machine

Fully automatic block machine for making paver blocks and stones

The MEC Paver Block Machine allows you to manufacture a wide variety of high-quality pavers with a fast production cycle and high volumes. Pavers can come in different sizes and shapes, as well as various colors, and can be made from alternative materials or using completely two different dry cast mixes. They are commonly used for building sidewalks, driveways, patios, fireplaces, and many other structures.

What is MEC Paver Block Machine?

The MEC Paver Block Machine is an enhanced version of the original MEC Evolution-20 block machine. It includes a Face Mix unit and additional software right from the manufacturing phase, making it a more cost-effective option for customers compared to installing these features later. Additional equipment for surface treatment, such as washing units, splitting units, or antique lines, can be added to create even more product variety.

 

Market leading efficiency

All MEC Block Machines are fully electromechanical from block machine to every equipment and attachment. The MEC Block Machines equipped with powerful and accurate servo motors as main power source for fast and repetitive movements like mold, tamper and vibration operations. Some AC motors are still left in place for more practicality but everything circulates in the same servo control system, so the operation system is responsive, smart and versatile but yet, very user friendly. The design of the machine is based on decades of experience in tested, constantly evolving mechanical solutions and new solutions developed as a result of active development cooperation with customers, for the needs of efficient production and market development. Mecmetal has manufactured fully electromechanical block machines since 1996.

 

Concrete intelligence
