The requirements placed on modern concrete paving block plants are continuously increasing. Higher production speeds, increasing automation, and growing quality and sustainability requirements mean that production processes today must be designed to be significantly more precise and stable than just a few years ago. While machinery and control technology are often at the centre of technological developments, production components that were long regarded primarily as wear parts are also becoming increasingly important. These include steel moulds and production boards such as Wasa Uniplast® Ultra, which today have a direct influence on product quality, plant availability and cost-effectiveness.
