Factory Acceptance Tests for Automatic Concrete Block Making Machines
Buyers should define measurable pass or fail checks for cycle time, pallet handling, and block dimensions before signing off an automatic concrete block making machine.
A buyer signing off an automatic concrete block making machine should decide in advance which checks are pass or fail, not simply watch the machine run. Start with the molding cycle: the reference range is 15–25 s, so ask the supplier to state the guaranteed cycle for your mold and mix, then time a defined number of consecutive cycles during the test. Decide whether the result must fall within that stated figure or within the catalog reference range, and record how cycle time is measured.
Pallet handling deserves its own check. With a reference pallet size of 850 × 680 mm, confirm that pallets feed, locate, and discharge without jamming across a set run, and agree what counts as a failure. For output, the catalog example of 6 blocks per cycle at 390 × 190 × 190 mm is a reference value, not a promise for your mold; verify dimensions and count against your own drawing. Confirm that the 33 kW total motor power is measured and recorded under agreed load conditions.
Before requesting a quote, confirm with the supplier which tests they will run, the acceptance tolerances, the mold and mix used, and who witnesses and signs the results.
