Block Making Machines for Lebanon

A practical guide to block making machines for Lebanon, where rebuild and supply work favours compact and mid-size plants. It covers the models, capacity, power, curing through coastal humidity and cold winters, materials, delivery and how to request a Lebanon quotation.

QUICK ANSWER

A block making machine Lebanon buyers order is usually chosen at compact to mid size, because the work is steady supply rather than one enormous contract. The QST8-15 suits a small yard and a lean start, the QST1200 a growing factory, and a finger-car curing line can lift output without adding operators. The mixed climate, coastal humidity and cold inland winters, makes a covered curing area important. Send your block sizes and daily target to fix the setup.

Block Making Machine Lebanon: Sizing a Plant to Steady Supply

Lebanon enquiries usually come from a factory serving several customers rather than one giant contract, so the machine is sized to a dependable daily output instead of a peak. That changes the balance: a mid-size machine that runs every day often suits better than the largest build on a short job. Three inputs decide the setup.

  • The products you sell: hollow block, solid brick, interlocking paver or kerb stone. Each needs its own mould and cycle.
  • The output you can sell each day, and the shifts you plan to run.
  • The yard, curing area and electrical supply available.

The climate is mixed, with coastal humidity and cold inland winters, and both affect curing. Green blocks need protection from fast drying in summer and from frost in winter, so a covered curing area earns its place in the plan from the start.

Recommended Machines for a Lebanese Plant

These are the builds most Lebanon buyers review, from a compact start up to a mid-size automatic. Each links to the full product page.

  • QST8-15 / QST6-15 fully automatic block making machine: a compact automatic machine, 95 kN and 68 kN vibration force and 14 t / 12 t machine weight, with up to 90,000 standard bricks per 8-hour shift on the QST8-15. A fit for a small yard and a lean start.
  • QST1200 / QST1000: a mid-size automatic machine, 150 kN vibration force and up to 120,960 standard bricks per shift on the QST1200. Suited to a factory moving from manual to automatic operation.
  • QSRGY finger-car curing line: single-layer curing as standard, upgradeable to multi-layer to use the full height of the building, with 3 to 4 persons running the whole task.
  • QSGW high-level production line: configured from 30,000 to 250,000 pieces per 8-hour shift, for a plant planning a larger, continuous output.

Where a plant wants to lift output without adding operators, the complete block factory solution shows how the curing line changes the labour balance.

What Affects the Price of a Block Making Machine in Lebanon

Cost tracks the configuration, so a modest product range can stay economical. The factors that move the number:

FactorWhy it changes the cost
Machine modelMass and installed power differ across the range, from roughly 12 t up to 34 t of machine.
MouldsEach product shape needs its own mould, so a compact range keeps the mould set smaller.
Automation levelManual take-off, semi-automatic and a fully automatic curing line are priced differently.
Curing equipmentA finger-car or rack curing line adds scope but changes the labour needed.
Batching and mixingA batching machine and mixer sized to the cycle change throughput and cost.
Spare parts packageWear parts, hydraulic spares and a spare mould reduce downtime on a steady plant.

The block making machine price guide explains how to compare quotations that cover different scope, and why a configuration sheet matters more than a single figure.

Blocks and Capacity for a Lebanese Plant

Capacity is quoted per product and per shift. At reference, the QST8-15 reaches up to 90,000 standard bricks (240 x 115 x 51 mm) in an 8-hour shift at a 15 to 23 second cycle, and the QST1200 up to 120,960 at 15 to 25 seconds. Hollow block and paver products run at lower piece counts per cycle, because each piece takes more mould area. A steady mix feed and controlled curing both hold the figure close to the quoted number.

Lebanese demand commonly combines hollow block for building with pavers for yards and driveways, so a machine that runs both from one platform keeps the mould list tight while covering the usual orders.

  • Hollow block 390 x 190 x 190 mm for walling.
  • Standard brick 240 x 115 x 51 mm for solid work.
  • Holland brick 200 x 100 x 60 mm and small block 170 x 80 x 80 mm for paving and detailing.

Power Supply and Installed Capacity

Confirm your site supply, phase, voltage and frequency, at quotation. A standard build ships for 380 V three-phase, then the electrical configuration is matched to the supply you confirm. Installed capacity starts low and rises with size: about 44.9 kW on the QST8-15, 48.9 kW on the QST1000 and 57.6 kW on the QST1200, before batching, mixing and curing equipment. A compact machine is often the practical answer where the site supply is limited, because it draws less while still running a full automatic cycle.

Raw Materials and Mix Design

The machines form blocks from cement, sand, gravel and crushed stone powder, and accept construction waste, slag, fly ash or gangue where available. Lebanese plants work with local sand and crushed aggregate, with cement content and gradation set by trial mixes per product. Because the climate swings between humid coast and cold inland winter, keeping mix moisture consistent is important for a stable cycle and for curing without surface damage.

Shipping and Delivery to Lebanon

Machines load at the Chinese port and ship to your destination port. The main units run from about 12 t to 34 t, with dimensions listed on each product page, so the loading plan, container or break-bulk arrangement and lifting points are set per order. Port of discharge, documentation and delivery terms are confirmed against your order before shipping, and the packing list matches the configuration sheet so nothing is separated in transit. Share your nearest port at quotation stage so the loading plan suits the route.

Installation, Training and Spare Parts

Installation follows the foundation drawing supplied with the machine, and commissioning includes a run with your own mix. Operators are trained on the PLC touch screen, mould change, cycle adjustment and daily checks, with a shift checklist. The finger-car curing line keeps fault handling simple: on a stop it shows an alarm and the fault position, so a specialist is not needed for every fault. Keep a planned spare parts set on site, wear parts, hydraulic spares and the consumables that stop a line when they run out.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a block making machine cost in Lebanon?
We do not quote from a catalogue, because the price depends on the configuration rather than the country. The host machine, the mould set, the automation level, the support equipment and the delivery scope all change the total, and a single press serving one block type differs from a plant running several moulds. Send your block types, daily output and site power and we quote against your configuration.
Which machine suits a small or mid-size Lebanese factory?
The QST8-15 fits a small yard and a lean start, reaching up to 90,000 standard bricks per 8-hour shift. The QST1200 steps up for a growing factory, up to 120,960 standard bricks per shift. The deciding inputs are the output you can sell each day, your block sizes and the power and yard available on site.
How does the climate affect curing?
Lebanon has coastal humidity and cold inland winters, and both affect curing. Green blocks need protection from fast drying in summer and from frost in winter, so a covered curing area is worth planning from the start. A controlled curing routine protects strength and surface, and reduces rejects in both seasons.
How much output can I expect per shift?
Capacity is quoted for a specific product. The QST8-15 reaches up to 90,000 standard bricks in an 8-hour shift and the QST1200 up to 120,960, at a 15 to 23 and 15 to 25 second cycle respectively. Hollow block and paver products run at lower piece counts per cycle, because each piece takes more mould area than a standard brick.
Can one machine run hollow block and pavers?
Yes. The same platform produces hollow block, solid brick, interlocking pavers and kerb stones, switching product by changing the mould and the cycle setting. Lebanese work commonly pairs hollow block for building with pavers for yards and driveways, so this lets one machine cover the usual orders and keeps the mould list tight.
What power supply do the machines need?
A standard build ships for 380 V three-phase, and the electrical configuration is then matched to the supply you confirm at quotation. Installed capacity starts low and rises with size, about 44.9 kW on the QST8-15, 48.9 kW on the QST1000 and 57.6 kW on the QST1200, before batching, mixing and curing. A compact machine suits a site with a limited supply.
What raw materials work in the mix?
The machines form blocks from cement, sand, gravel and crushed stone powder, and accept construction waste, slag, fly ash or gangue where available. Lebanese plants use local sand and crushed aggregate, with cement content and gradation set by trial mixes per product. Keeping mix moisture consistent matters for a stable cycle and for curing without surface damage.
Can a curing line reduce the number of workers?
Yes. A finger-car curing line runs the whole curing task with 3 to 4 persons, and multi-layer curing uses the full height of the building to free up floor space. It handles single-layer curing as standard and can be upgraded to multi-layer. On a stop it shows an alarm and the fault position, so routine faults are handled without a specialist.
