Building materials are used to construct buildings, bridges and walls; construction cannot take place without them. They play an essential role in preserving structures, helping them withstand compression and tension and preventing collapse. As construction has developed over the years, materials have evolved and demand has increased, with varied shapes and dimensions now available. Producing these materials is no longer a small undertaking: it has become one of today’s most important projects worldwide because of its substantial returns and profits, allowing capital to be recovered quickly. Modern equipment produces varied shapes and sizes. Building materials differ according to their ingredients and intended use. Concrete blocks, paving blocks and curbstones are among the most important and widespread products. Their different forms are produced using molds fitted to the machine. This article introduces the most commonly used and best-known mold types.

♦♦♦ Concrete block molds ♦♦♦

Blocks have been used for thousands of years. In the past, houses were small, simple and quick to build, using mud or clay shaped by hand or in molds and dried in the sun. Construction and housing developments have since advanced, making rapid housebuilding dependent on workers, material availability and modern equipment. Demand for building materials has risen, while the stones used in the past became unavailable or difficult to prepare. Concrete blocks became an alternative because of their properties and now form the walls of all kinds of buildings. They come in many types, classified by size and use. A concrete block making machine produces different shapes according to the block molds used. Multiple molds on the same machine produce solid, hollow and insulated blocks in customer-selected dimensions.

 ♦♦♦ Paving Block Molds ♦♦♦

Interlocking paving blocks are cement-based paving units used on sidewalks, paths and other areas. They fit together easily without cement mortar, interlocking to form a stable surface. They can therefore be removed and reinstalled when excavation underneath is needed without damage or breakage. A major advantage is the variety of geometric shapes, sizes and colors available on request. A new business should offer different shapes and sizes to meet demand. Our company manufactures paving block molds in various designs and dimensions and welcomes customers’ suggestions for new shapes. Customers can specify their own mold shape and dimensions according to the country and application. Paving blocks also come in two finishes: entirely rough or with a smooth, colored surface layer. Our company supplies all required paving block machines and molds.

 ♦♦♦ Curbstone molds ♦♦♦

A curbstone is a concrete unit forming a rectangle, raised projection or upright edge. It is placed on roads to separate opposing directions of traffic or to border sidewalks surfaced with interlocking paving blocks. Curbstones also regulate drainage and prevent vehicles from leaving the paved surface. They define the pavement edge, improve the road’s finished appearance and enhance its sides. Curbstones, known by different names in some countries, have various technical specifications and types according to their purpose. Dimensions, shapes and colors vary with local preferences. Like concrete blocks and paving blocks, curbstones can be manufactured in the same machines simply by changing molds as required. Beyazli Group therefore manufactures curbstone molds in many shapes.

♦♦♦ Insulated block molds ♦♦♦

Insulated blocks have become widespread because they are easy to manufacture and offer many advantages. Their light weight makes them easier to carry and install than ordinary blocks. They are strong and durable relative to their weight; low weight and high compressive resistance help reduce loads and stresses on a building during an earthquake. They can be used in load-bearing and non-load-bearing walls. Excellent thermal insulation reduces heating, cooling and electricity costs. They also provide sound insulation, are economical and quick to install, resist fire and absorb little moisture. An insulated block making machine produces them easily by adding dedicated equipment and insulated-block molds in various sizes and shapes to a block machine. The video below shows the production process:

• Concrete Block Factory Project 

»» Construction dates back to the earliest centuries, when people first needed to build homes and dwellings. The building profession developed from this need. As workers’ skills and technology advanced, construction evolved from inherited traditional methods into modern practice. Housing units are now built by specialist companies skilled in construction, with designs varying between firms. Construction requires the production of building materials, and growing demand has encouraged block plant projects to spread.

»» A successful concrete block factory requires high-quality equipment and varied products to meet every order. BEYAZLI GROUP is a leading manufacturer of machinery, paving block equipment and molds. Our motto is quality, speed and trust. We offer block plants at remarkable prices compared with the market, with warranties, after-sales service, free installation and worker training. Our plants accept various molds: changing the block mold produces solid, hollow and insulated blocks in different forms. Paving blocks also require varied shapes, so we have designed many paving block and curbstone molds, along with molds for other cement products, to meet all customer needs.
