Technical Highlights
1. High-Strength Machine Frame for Stable Forming
The main machine frame is manufactured from specially shaped steel sections and incorporates patented structural design technology.
The welded frame undergoes vibration stress-relief treatment to improve structural stability. Large-diameter columns provide support and guidance during mold closing, helping maintain accurate mold positioning throughout the forming process.
The demolding system adopts mechanical synchronization to coordinate mold release and support consistent product forming.
For high-pressure concrete block production, a rigid machine structure is essential for maintaining stable mold movement and repeatable forming conditions.
2. Large-Tonnage Hydraulic Pressing System
The hydraulic forming system is one of the defining features of the ZN-VP series.
The three models provide maximum main pressing forces of 600, 900 and 1,500 tons, respectively. Large-diameter main cylinders generate the required forming force for high-pressure concrete product production.
International-brand hydraulic pumps and valves are used within the hydraulic system. Pressing speed, pressure and stroke can be adjusted according to product and process requirements.
This allows the forming process to be configured for different product types and material characteristics.
The high-pressure hydraulic configuration is particularly relevant to manufacturers producing dense concrete products or working with mixes containing fine powders and solid-waste-derived materials.
3. German Servo Vibration Technology
The ZN-VP series incorporates advanced German servo vibration technology.
Servo motors provide rapid response and precise control of vibration parameters, allowing excitation force and vibration performance to be adjusted according to the production requirements.
Compared with fixed vibration control, servo technology provides greater flexibility when switching between different product types and material formulations.
The controlled vibration process supports concrete compaction and helps maintain consistent product forming conditions.
Servo vibration concrete block forming technology is especially valuable when a production line needs to accommodate multiple product specifications rather than running a single standardized product continuously.
4. Swing-Arm Feeding System Designed for Easier Maintenance
The material feeding system uses a robust swing-arm configuration for consistent material distribution.
Large-diameter guide wheels support smooth movement of the feeding carriage, while replaceable wear plates are installed on key contact surfaces to simplify maintenance.
The feeding platform also uses replaceable wear components. Hydraulic locking allows the feeding section to be opened and secured during inspection, cleaning and maintenance operations.
This design provides easier access to wear parts and helps reduce the complexity of routine service work.
5. Integrated Static Pressing and Vibration Forming
The ZN-VP series combines two forming mechanisms:High-pressure static pressing + servo vibration.
The hydraulic system provides the main forming force, while the vibration system assists material compaction during molding.
According to the original technical configuration, the system provides up to 900 or 1,500 tons of main pressing force and 120 kN of vibration force on the corresponding models.
The combined technology is intended to address the forming requirements of dry-process concrete products using both coarse solid-waste materials and ultrafine powder materials.
It can be applied to the production of:
●Stone-look concrete pavers
●Permeable paving products
●Curbstones
●Conventional concrete blocks
●Landscaping concrete products
●Other customized concrete products
For projects that require both product diversity and material flexibility, the combined pressing-and-vibration configuration provides an alternative to conventional static-pressure or vibration-only forming systems.
6. Automatic Control for More Consistent Production Management
The ZN-VP series integrates German automation technology with a visual human-machine interface.
The control system coordinates the machine's forming processes while providing operators with a clear interface for production management.
Key functions include:
●Production recipe management
●Operating parameter management
●Equipment status monitoring
●Production data collection
●Machine operation control
●Visualized equipment information
By reducing unnecessary manual intervention, the integrated control architecture helps operators manage production parameters more consistently.
For automated concrete block production lines, centralized control also provides a clearer interface between the block machine and upstream or downstream equipment.
7. Intelligent Equipment Cloud Service Platform
The QGM Intelligent Equipment Cloud Service Platform extends machine management beyond the local control cabinet.
The platform integrates cloud computing, data communication, equipment modeling, artificial intelligence, fuzzy neural networks and big-data technologies to collect and analyze equipment operating information and usage patterns.
Depending on system configuration and authorization, the platform supports:
●Online equipment monitoring
●Remote equipment control
●Remote technical support
●Predictive fault detection
●Fault diagnosis
●Equipment health assessment
●Automated operation reports
●Equipment data analysis
This creates a digital connection between the block making machine and cloud-based service functions.
For overseas block manufacturers, cloud-based equipment monitoring can provide an additional layer of support when production equipment is located far from the manufacturer's technical service center.
QGM's intelligent equipment and cloud-service approach is consistent with its broader development of digitally connected block-making equipment and intelligent production systems.
8. Solid Waste Recycling for Concrete Product Manufacturing
One of the major application characteristics of the ZN-VP series is its adaptability to different raw materials.
Depending on material properties, preprocessing and mix design, the machine can be used with materials such as:
The actual material ratio and formulation should be determined according to the physical and chemical properties of the locally available materials.
Concrete Products
The machine can be configured for the production of:
●Standard concrete blocks
●Hollow blocks
●Paving blocks
●Permeable pavers
●Curbstones
●Stone-look concrete products
●Landscaping products
●Slope-protection blocks
●Wall decorative concrete products
This makes the ZN-VP series relevant to solid waste recycling projects where the objective is to transform properly processed waste materials into marketable concrete products.
9.Designed for Flexible Concrete Product Manufacturing
The ZN600VP, ZN900VP and ZN1500VP provide three different equipment configurations within the same hydraulic forming concept.
The selection of the appropriate model depends on factors such as:
●Required pressing force
