In Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso, we installed and commissioned a semi-automatic CBM 12 block and paving stone machine for one of our customers. During commissioning our team worked with the customer's operators to produce interlocking paving stones first and then, after a mould change, hollow concrete blocks, and trained the operators in running and maintaining the machine.
The CBM 12 has twin hoppers: one feeds the body concrete into the mould, the other spreads a fine-aggregate face mix on top. Thanks to our vibration system, the pavers on the first pallets have a smooth, dense top face and crisp edges: the paver quality expected from fully automatic lines, on a semi-automatic machine. According to our product record, the machine makes 12 paving stones per cycle (about 300 m² a day) or 5 blocks with the 150 mm mould (about 5,000 a day).
