Key takeaways
  • Fully automatic line in the United Kingdom: 1300 x 1000 mm pallets, 18 blocks of 100 mm per cycle.
  • Curing via a rotary finger car at 16 height levels, with a total capacity of 5,000 pallets and air recirculation.
  • The 4050S vibro-compactor uses servomotors with vibration frequency and amplitude that are adjustable and programmable per mould.

The installation has production trays measuring 1300 x 1000 mm, with a capacity to manufacture 18 blocks of 100 mm per cycle. This is a completely new "greenfield" project, with the building constructed specifically according to Rometa's civil-works plans, and the whole project has been supervised by Rometa's Technical Department in close collaboration with the client.

ROMETA 4050S vibropress

The ROMETA 4050S vibropress incorporates servomotors in the vibration system, guaranteeing homogeneous compaction of the product.

  • Vibration frequency and amplitude fully adjustable by the operator, programmable and savable for each mould.
  • Double hydraulic unit with variable-flow pump and digital control of both pressure and flow.

Curing system

  • Curing via a rotating finger car, with 16 height levels.
  • Air-recirculation system with a total capacity of 5,000 trays.
  • Fully enclosed and insulated curing chamber, with air recirculation to guarantee uniform humidity levels across all pieces.
  • Automatic height control at the tray outlet, continuously monitoring dimensions without stopping production.

Dry line and palletising

  • Product pre-grouping station to gather pieces before automatic palletising.
  • Pneumatic clamp gripping on all four sides; the rest of the movements are servomotor-driven, with all parameters adjustable from the control cabin.
  • Second clamp for palletising hollow blocks and permeable pavers, with its own product preparation table.
  • Horizontal and vertical strapping machines with a rotating table, to strap both sides of the pallet.
  • Hooding machine for final product protection.

Batching plant

  • Direct truck-to-hopper loading.
  • M2250/1500 planetary mixer.
  • High-precision pigment dosing system.
