What are Concrete Blocks and Pallets?

Concrete blocks have a tough exterior that holds all kinds of weather, but making these is an inside job. The production starts with crushed rock and sand. This collection is limestone based. The mix can be altered for variable strength and finishes. A conveyor delivers a collection of minerals to a huge mixer. Beaters turn the ingredients into a thick ready mix.

Next is the ConcreteBlock Pallets that give shape to the blocks. The pallets employ the use of rigid bodies capable of supporting a concrete product. Usually these are made of very dense and high quality plywood. The layers of the pallets for concrete blocks are treated with waterproof resin and pressed under very high temperature and pressure to smoothen it. These Pallets for Concrete Blocks are single solid pieces without any gaps in the joints.

Pallets for Block Machine

The two main types of the pallets are:

• Standard production boards - Having semi smooth surfaces made of a wear resistant shuttering film face. These surfaces enhance the stiffness of the production board and prevent deflection. Precautions are taken to ensure there is no de-laminating or moisture absorption.

• PRO - Has semi smooth surfaces on either side of the laminated fiber layers. This enables a high wear resistible surface protection.

The Pallets for block machine are made waterproof after treating it with waterproof resin.

Manufacturing process:

The Concrete Block Pallets are made by heating and pressing procedures in fully automatic machines by using established and well researched combination of resin and fiber. Depending upon the need, the manufacturing of the pallets is correctly calibrated and machined to produce the precise size required.

Pallet size:

The Pallets for Concrete Blocks can come in any size depending on the requirement. These can vary from a small size of 550 x 400mm up to 1500 x 1500mm.

Packaging:

A single bundle containing the number of pallets depends on the thickness of the production boards. Normally the boards are bundled into packages of twenty each. Steel straps are used to secure the wrapping of the bundles.

Benefits:

• Excellent vibration properties.
• No moisture issues, even if chipped.
• Faster cycle period leading to higher production.
• Offers little wear to moulds and machines.
• Requires less energy (power) for producing the same number of concrete blocks.

The above discussed features and benefits make it clear that the pallets are capable of effectively supporting concrete for a long time.
