Another QT6 Block Making Machine Was Shipped To Kenya
September 30, 2021 – Fujian Unik Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce the successful shipment of its QT6 fully automatic block making machine to a leading real estate development company in Nairobi, Kenya. This marks another important milestone in Unik Machinery's expansion into the African market.
Client Background and Selection Process
The client, one of Kenya's largest construction contractors, has been undertaking numerous housing and infrastructure projects in the Nairobi metropolitan area. With a strong commitment to quality and efficiency, the company conducted a thorough evaluation of multiple block machine suppliers from China and Europe. After comparing equipment performance, production capacity, after-sales service, and cost-effectiveness, they selected Unik Machinery's QT6 fully automatic block production line. The customer's technical team visited Unik's manufacturing facility in China to witness machine trials and discuss customization options. They were particularly impressed by the machine's robust construction, high vibration force, and the ability to produce a wide range of concrete products using local raw materials.
QT6 Block Making Machine: Key Features and Advantages
The QT6 series is a fully automatic concrete block production line designed for medium to large-scale block producers. Key features include:
High Production Capacity: Cycle time of only 15-20 seconds per pallet, capable of producing 8,640 to 12,960 hollow blocks (400×200×200mm) per 8-hour shift.
Advanced Hydraulic System: Hydraulic pressure up to 25 MPa ensures high-density, high-strength blocks.
Powerful Vibration: Vibration force of 68 KN and frequency of 3800-4500 r/min for superior compaction.
PLC Intelligent Control: User-friendly HMI touch screen interface allows easy operation, recipe storage, and fault diagnosis.
Versatile Molding Capability: By changing molds, the machine can produce hollow blocks, solid bricks, paving blocks, interlocking pavers, kerbstones, and more.
The QT6 line also includes a batching station, JS compulsory mixer, belt conveyor, automatic stacker, and pallet return system, providing a complete end-to-end solution for concrete block production.
Environmental and Economic Benefits
One of the key reasons the Kenyan client chose Unik's QT6 machine is its ability to utilize industrial waste materials such as fly ash, slag, and stone dust as raw materials. This not only reduces production costs by up to 30% compared to using pure cement and aggregates but also contributes to sustainable construction practices by recycling waste that would otherwise end up in landfills.
The machine's energy-efficient motors and hydraulic system also lower electricity consumption, helping the client reduce operational expenses and carbon footprint.
Supporting Kenya's Infrastructure Growth
Kenya's construction industry has been growing rapidly, driven by government initiatives such as the "Big Four Agenda" which includes affordable housing and infrastructure development. The demand for high-quality, affordable building materials is at an all-time high.
With the QT6 block machine now in production, the client is well-positioned to supply millions of concrete blocks annually to meet this demand. Unik Machinery provided comprehensive on-site training and commissioning support to ensure a smooth startup. The client's production manager commented: "The Unik QT6 machine exceeded our expectations. It's reliable, easy to operate, and the block quality is excellent. We are already planning to order a second line."
