First, we need to know what a concrete block machine is to be able to speak about small ones. A concrete block machine is a machine that produces concrete blocks using vibration and compression. The compression is done by the hydraulic unit and through pistons of the machine and vibration is done by electric motors installed under the pallet table.
The concrete blocks are produced by molds and on the surface of the pallets. This means you need pallets and different molds to be able to produce concrete blocks.
Depending on the size of the machine, the dimensions of the mold and the pallet size change. Smaller machines have smaller pallets and lighter molds while the big concrete block machines have bigger pallets and bigger molds and as the result, they produce more blocks at the same time.
Concrete blocks are so popular these days because by changing the mold the concrete block machine can produce different types of concrete blocks with different shapes and sizes. These machines are also called brick making machine as well.
With more than 15 years of experience in manufacturing concrete block making machines and exporting them to 32 countries, Bess company offers small, medium, and high capacity block making machines with different automation levels.
The capacity of a concrete block making machine is determined by the number of standard blocks that it produces in one press.
The standard block is a block with dimensions of 20cm width, 40cm length, and 20cm height.

How To Buy A Concrete Block Machine?
If you have no experience in the field of concrete block production and you are planning to buy a concrete block machine to start your business you need to find a high-quality machine. High-quality machines prevent future problems and production losses in long-term use.
We recommend you to visit the company that you want to buy the machine from prior to ordering the machine. Make sure about the quality and capacity of the machine, then you can go ahead and order it.
Some products have cheaper prices but always remember that you get what you pay for. There is a reason for that product to be cheaper. We have compared our machines with Chinese machines as well.
Choosing the most expensive machine is also not wise enough. There is a lot of optional equipment with that machine that you don't need to start your job. The companies that can provide reference plants in your country or near countries are also a good choice if you are not planning to visit the manufacturing company.
