Project Overview
- Location: Dakar, Senegal
- Machine: QT40-1
- Products: 390 x 190 x 190 mm hollow blocks and 240 x 115 x 90 mm perforated bricks
- Output: Approximately 1,800-2,000 standard hollow blocks per 8-hour shift
Customer Background
A medium-sized producer outside Dakar needed more reliable output for Senegal's expanding affordable-housing market.
Customer Challenges
Traditional manual production was slow and inconsistent, making it difficult to meet project supply requirements.
Selected Solution
The QT40-1 combines directed vertical bottom-mold vibration with upper-mold pressure vibration. Its 35-40 second cycle provides dense, uniform products while reducing labor requirements.
Project Results
Production efficiency increased by more than three times, block quality met local construction standards and the customer won several affordable-housing supply contracts. The reported payback period was six months.
Customer Feedback
QT40-1 helped us move beyond manual block making. The machine runs steadily, our operators learned it quickly, and we can now supply both local and surrounding markets.
