Custom blocks, made for you
Need a size or shape that isn't listed? Share your drawing or specification and we can make custom blocks for your project.
Built around your mould
The QT5-15 uses interchangeable moulds, so the product you make is defined by the mould you fit.
- A mould change procedure applies to moulds of the same height.
- Moving to a mould of a different product height also requires adjusting the machine before production.
- The control panel includes pigment feeder functions — forward, backward, rise and drop — for a colour feeding system. These functions apply only when the colour system is ordered; otherwise they are not used.
- Configuration, moulds, product dimensions and achievable output must be confirmed for your project before ordering. Line arrangement and supplied equipment depend on the confirmed order.

Applications
Paving for paths, patios and hard landscaping
Concrete paving products suit pedestrian routes, entrance areas and landscaped surroundings.
Paving shapes and sizes come from the mould fitted to the line, and coloured paving needs the optional colour feeding system. Tell us about your site and our team will confirm which paving products are available for it.
