1) What is a manual hollow block machine?
A manual hollow block machine also known as hollow block maker manual is a type of construction machinery used in concrete hollow block production. Well, so what is a hollow block? Hollow blocks are a standard size rectangular block with hollow cavities used in building construction.
A Hollow block is also known as concrete masonry unit (CMU – read this article) made by concrete blocks making machines. A concrete hollow block is one of several precast concrete products used in construction. Most of the concrete hollow blocks have one or more hollow cavities.
A manual hollow block machine price or manual hollow block making machine price is mostly depending on the production capacity of the machine. This type of block machine works with an operator, a person to collect the hollow blocks after production. In a plant with a concrete mixer and belt conveyors, the process is based on a hydraulic system. This type of manual machine mostly preferred in the countries where the staff costs are cheap because it needs more workers to collect the hollow blocks.
2) Why invest in a manual hollow block machine?
Many entrepreneurs decide to invest in a manual hollow block machine because they know the potential of the construction sector and also their opportunity to make more money with less risk. The demand of concrete hollow blocks is huge in most of the countries we have sell our machines.
As you probably know, the construction or building sector is growing very fast in many Middle East countries such as Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrein, Qatar… and African countries such as Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire. Every construction needs hollow blocks.
In Turkey, for example, when activities that constitute the gross domestic product (GDP) are examined, the construction sector grew by 6.8 percent in terms of the chained volume value in the second quarter of 2017, compared to the same period last year.
The World Economic Forum established a three-year project on Shaping the Future of Construction. Since then, the initiative has successfully served as a platform for Forum partner firms, governments, academia, and civil society to shape the industry agenda and to find innovative solutions to support the industry’s transformation and thereby achieve higher productivity, greater sustainability, and enhanced affordability. Investing in a manual hollow block machine will be more economical. That will allow you to have best quality concrete hollow blocks compared to the blocks made traditionally.
3) Watch a manual hollow block machine video
You can watch a manual hollow block machine video below. The process of producing the concrete hollow is very simple with a hydraulic block making machine. With the integrated hydraulic system, the manual machine operator works only with hydraulic commands as you can see in this manual hollow block machine video on YouTube.
4) Types of manual hollow block machine
There are basically two types of manual hollow block machine depending on the block producing system. Indeed, we have a mobile block laying machine and the stationary block making machine. The mobile block laying machine makes the press directly on the ground prepared for this purpose. There are also called movable block machine. The stationary block making machine produces on a pallet.
There are also basically two types of manual hollow block machines depending on the operating system. The first type of machine works with a single mortar and the second type work with a double mortar. You can see the difference in the picture below. Although there are these two types of machine for hollow blocks, our advice for you is to choose the machine with the single mortar if you want to produce concrete hollow only and exclusively. Because the second mortar is mostly needed for paving block (pavers) production.
5) Is the manual hollow block machine really different from other machines?
Yes, and No… In one hand, the manual hollow block machine is really different from other machines in term of the working process. Both of these machines do use the hydraulic system. However, with a manual machine, after the machine presses, you need to employ many workers to carry the blocks from the machine to the drying or caring place. You can see this difference in the below picture.
In another hand, in term of the quality of the hollow block produced, there is no difference between the manual hollow block machine and another one. Since both of the machine are using the hydraulic system of pressing, there is no difference at all on the quality of the hollow blocks.
6) Can the manual hollow block machine produce other types of concrete blocks?
Yes, of course, a manual hollow block machine can produce other types of concrete blocks. How is it possible? Well, that is very simple to process because the manual machine uses also a fast mold changing system. In reality, the process of pressing (manufacturing) the concrete blocks is the same for every type of blocks. However, the machine will make the press depending on the mold (or mould, or die) inserted in it.
So, if you insert a hollow block mold, the machine will produce the hollow blocks. Then, if you remove the hollow block mold and you insert another type of mold in the machine, then the machine will produce that type of concrete block. Simple, right? This is a picture of the changeable mold of a manual hollow block machine.
7) Who are the manual hollow block machine manufacturers?
We cooperate with many manual hollow block machine manufacturers or concrete block machine manufacturer in Europe: Turkey, Spain, Portugal, France, UK, Germany… The process of meeting every single manufacturer from these countries to choose the best machine will probably be for you a loose of time, a loose of energy and a loose of money. Why? Basically because you probably do not know their block making machines and the differences between these machines.
We do cooperate with them before, so it will be easy for us to get the best machine for you regarding your budget and considering your delivery time. Furthermore, if you are reading this article, you probably need our help to know the best manual hollow block machine manufacturer and to get the best block machine at the price and at the best delivery time.

8) What are the manual hollow block machine prices?
The manual hollow block machine prices or concrete blocks making machine prices depend on the daily production capacity of the machine and the block processing system. A mobile machine that produces 9000 hollow block is 34.900 US dollar. The mobile block laying machine is cheaper since you don’t need to buy many pallets for the block production. However, you will need to prepare a surface for the machine to move freely during the block production process.
Whatever the cement block machine prices or manual hollow block machine prices you should figure out that there is the difference between the machine price and the machine cost. You should focus more on the cost instead of the price. Every person who wants to buy a machine should firstly define his budget and make his business plan. You can contact us for more details about the price of the machine you want to buy. We will be happy to help you in getting the best machine for your budget.
9) Can I have a used hollow block machine for sale?
Yes, of course, you can get a used hollow block machine for sale or a cement block machine for sale. There are many second-hand block making machines available you can choose from. These types of used machine for sale do not have a warranty period agreement. Why would you buy a machine without a warranty? Since there is no a big difference in term of price between a new machine and a used one, the best idea is to make a bank contract to buy a brand new machine. Anyway, our advice is to buy a brand new machine if you are looking for a hollow block machine for sale or a concrete block machine for sale.
