The Zenith 860 AZ Block Moulding Machine is a proven and durable solution designed for large-scale concrete block production. This listing includes not only the core machine but also a complete production line, making it a fully functional plant ready for immediate operation after installation.

Manufactured in 1988, the system has been continuously operated at the same location and maintained in working condition until it was decommissioned at the end of 2023. The plant was running in a two-shift production system, demonstrating its reliability and capability for sustained industrial use.

This block moulding system is designed for the production of both core and face mix concrete products, ensuring flexibility in manufacturing different types of blocks. The machine uses a Simatic S5 control system with Zenith visualization, enabling efficient process management and operation.

With a board size of 1,400 × 950 mm and a maximum product height of 14 cm, the Zenith 860 AZ is suitable for producing a wide range of concrete blocks. The pneumatic quick mould clamping system allows for faster mould changes, improving production efficiency.

The included production line features a comprehensive setup of handling systems, conveyors, elevators, stackers, and packaging units, ensuring a smooth and automated workflow from material feeding to finished product handling.
