Customer Background
A medium-sized producer outside Maputo needed more capacity for Mozambique's expanding housing and infrastructure market.
Customer Challenges
The customer needed to move from semi-automatic production to a stable automated line while reducing labor cost and improving dimensional accuracy.
Selected Solution
The QT4-15 uses PLC control, a 15-second cycle and coordinated hydraulic and vibration systems with internationally recognized core components.
Project Results
The plant completed its transition to automatic production, increased capacity, reduced labor requirements and entered several housing-development supply chains. The reported payback period was about ten months.
Customer Feedback
The QT4-15 automation level exceeded our expectations. Only a small team is required, the PLC is easy to use and product quality remains stable.
