Curbstone making machines are core equipment in the precast concrete industry and play an important role in building and civil engineering projects. The Cadona curbstone making machine was originally designed by the Italian company CADONA. Today it has been optimized by the specialists at Tarahan Machinery and is sold on the Iranian market. With its hydraulic motion system and advanced capabilities, it is an ideal choice for producing high-quality concrete curbs.
Cadona Curbstone Making Machine
The Cadona curbstone making machine is a mobile unit with a hydraulic motion system. It takes its name from the Italian manufacturer of these machines (CADONA).
Cadona Machine Technical Specifications
- The Cadona curbstone making machine has single-acting rams. On the way down, gravity drives these rams in free fall, like a hammer. With this method, the rams deliver impact only and apply no pressing force.
- Tarahan Machinery builds its Cadona curbstone making machines with a double-acting ram press that can apply up to 1.5 tons of force.
- The machine travels by electric motor and is steered by hand.
- Some models use two side-mounted vibrators, either hydraulic or electric. On others, the vibration system is mounted across the full length of the mold.
How to Operate the Cadona Curbstone Making Machine
The Cadona curbstone making machine needs one operator, who handles the travel, press, and vibration functions.
The machine works as follows:
- Material is dumped from a wheelbarrow onto the machine’s tray.
- Using a hand squeegee, the operator pushes the material from the tray into the concrete curb mold until the mold is full.
- Vibration runs during filling so the material compacts well.
- Once the mold is completely full, pressing begins. On hammer-type press systems, this step is usually repeated 4 to 5 times.
- Finally, the tamper head (the upper part of the mold) is held on the product while the mold box (the lower part of the mold) is raised with a hydraulic lever.
- The curbs come out of the mold and stay on the ground until they have had time to dry.
Conclusion
Built and supplied by Tarahan Machinery, the Cadona curbstone making machine is a good fit for both small and large civil projects thanks to its mobile design, ease of use, and ability to produce strong concrete curbs. Its double-acting ram press and full-length vibration make it possible to produce curbs with high density and good strength. Choosing this machine and using Tarahan Machinery’s specialist services can help raise productivity and quality in concrete curb production.
