The Machine
The first fully hydraulic machine in the range. A 6-brick mould that swaps to 8 and 4 depending on the size you're running, fed by a 15 HP pan mixer and a hydraulic hopper.

Units per hour and per shift depend on cycle time, mix and curing arrangement at your site. Ask our team for a shift projection for your chosen size.
Technology Features
01
Hydraulic Vibro-Compaction
Simultaneous top pressure and table vibration compacts the mix to a uniform density right through the unit — not just at the surface.
02
Multi-Mould Interchange
Moulds swap out to change product size and shape, so one press covers several product families without a second machine.
03
Hardened Mould Steel
Mould boxes and tamper heads are built from hardened steel to hold dimensional tolerance across long production runs.
04
Three-Phase Power Pack
A dedicated hydraulic power pack drives the press cycle, with grade-68 hydraulic oil and filtration on the return line.
05
Pan Mixer Integration
The pan mixer is matched to the press cycle time so the machine is never waiting on mix, and the mix is never sitting.
06
Pallet Conveyor & Green Handling
Green units leave the press on a steel pallet and travel out on conveyor, so they are never lifted by hand while wet.
07
Colour Face Layer Option
A separate colour mixer drum lays a pigmented face on pavers, giving colour where it is seen without pigmenting the full section.
08
Operator Control Panel
Cycle, vibration time and press dwell are set at the panel, so output quality does not depend on operator feel.
09
Civil Drawings Supplied
Foundation and shed layout drawings are issued ahead of dispatch so erection is planned before the machine arrives.
10
Trained On Site
Your operators are trained on operation, mould change and routine maintenance as part of commissioning.
