Your Product Line
Antiquing
Machine Diversify your product line with antiqued concrete masonry units. Split face units are given a weathered, tumbled appearance by the in-line, antiquing machine. A set of split face concrete products travel from the splitter to the antiquing machine, where they are separated. Two air bags force each concrete product up against a rubber stop where the units are clamped into place. Two texture spindles travel between the
concrete products and weather each face. Once the process is completed,
the concrete products are lowered, unclamped and sent to the cuber in
the same position that they approached the antiquing machine. The
machine is then reloaded with another set of concrete products for the
next cycle. Founders Spray Machine The Founders Spray Machine will add a unique blend of colors and patterns to the face of concrete products. Creating these "value added" products allow you to tap into new markets and increase profitability. The machine sprays a liquid pigment
mixture onto selected surfaces of the mold inside the concrete products
machine. The Founders Spray Machine can be programmed to store up to 10 different spray combinations. Up to three different colors of pigment can be sprayed during each combination. A limit switch activates the spray. When the production run is complete, unused pigment can be drained from the bottom of the tanks to allow the tanks to be rinsed with water. All lines and nozzles are easily cleaned with water while in the manual mode.
