Design and Prototype of Paving Block Making Machine

Paving Block (Conblock) is a kind of the building materials used for footing or roads. As same as bricks, paving block made from a mixture of cement, sand and water. Currently, home industries generally still use manual paving block printing tools. Where the paving block dough is put into the mold, then closed and after that, it is beaten to compact the dough. Although there are many paving block making machines in the markets, the cost is still expensive. So, efforts are still being made to find paving block making machines that are cheap, have low operating costs and low maintenance costs, as well as adequate production speed. This research attempts to increase production speed with simple and cheap equipment.
