CONCRETE PRODUCTS & CAST STONE80 CPI %u2013 Concrete Plant International %u2013 6 | 2025 www.cpi-worldwide.comunder the raised tamper head and cleans the shoe blades, ensuring that even complex shapes can be produced reliably. By reducing manual cleaning, the cross cleaner helps maintain uptime and consistent quality, especially in demanding production runs.The vibration table itself is mechanically decoupled from the frame by rubber buffers. This ensures efficient energy transfer from the production board to the concrete inside the mold while minimizing structural stress. Two frequency-controlled double-shaft vibrators enable continuous adjustment of the vibration force, allowing for both powerful compaction and gentle handling of sensitive products.Concrete feeding is designed for accuracy and reliability. The base mix is supplied via a hopper with level sensors and a hydraulically operated filler box on rollers with a wear-resistant table plate. Also, the face mix feeding unit is equipped with laser sensors for precise level control. Operation is managed by a Siemens S7 PLC combined with a color touchscreen panel. Parameters can be adjusted in real time, while product-specific programs are stored and recalled for efficient changeovers. Downstream handling is fully automated, moving products smoothly from demolding to stacking and from destacking to empty pallet return. A servo-driven cuber prepares the finished layers for further processing, ensuring efficiency and consistency. Precision stops guarantee exact dimensions, while modern safety systems protect both operators and equipment.Dry sideAll main systems %u2013 from feeding and molding to compaction, demolding, and handling are seamlessly integrated. On the dry side, the automated cuber Servo Pak 700-2 stacks finished paving stones efficiently and precisely.While the RH 600-3 VA marks another technological milestone for the company, Micheletto%u2019s vision extends beyond machinery. Sustainability has become a defining principle. All production runs on renewable energy. Solar power from a large rooftop installation and water-based processes supply the plant, while gas has been phased out entirely. An inhouse research and development department drives innovation in close cooperation with architects and designers. A three-year roadmap defines which new product lines will be Five-level racks loaded with freshly produced concrete blocks ready for curing.Continuous production with consistent quality, verified by routine inspections during operation.
