Block Making Machine Price in Mosul: Configuration, Freight and Site Power

The block making machine price in Mosul is set less by the catalogue tier than by the power the yard can hold at its panel. A site with a steady supply sizes the frame to its sales target and buys a mould set. A site that runs part of the shift on a generator buys the set, the changeover panel, the heavier cable and the fuel store as well, and those lines sit in the quotation next to the machine.

The items that move with the site are the electrical package, the foundation and the floor, the frame class and the pallet fleet, the inland haul, and the opening mould and spare set.

What changes in the equipment list when the site runs on a generator?

The generating route adds a package the mains route does not carry. The frame itself does not change, and its installed capacity is the number the set is built around: 34.4 kW on a QST6-15, 44.9 kW on a QST8-15, 57.6 kW on a QST1200, 69.1 kW on a QST1500 and 104 kW on a QST1800. A set is not sized on that figure alone, because the hydraulic pump pulls a starting current well above its running load.

The extra list on a generating site reads: a set matched to the largest motor, a changeover panel so the same machine runs on mains when the supply returns, a cable run from the set to the main panel, earthing, and a fuel store. On the mains route the frame needs the panel, the cable and the earthing, and the set is the absent item. Keep the cuber, the mixer and the moulding cycle from starting together, and set that in the control panel before the panel is built.

Send us the supply you can hold at the panel and the hours a day you expect on each source, and the electrical package is sized to the frame you chose.

Does the ground decide whether the plant needs a foundation and a pit?

The frame you choose fixes what the ground carries. A QST1800 arrives as a 34 t unit working on a 1,400 × 1,400 × 30 mm pallet, and a QST8-15 arrives at 14 t on a 980 × 860 × 22 mm pallet, so the civil works are drawn from the frame rather than chosen first. The vibration system puts its own load into that structure: 95 kN of excitation force on a QST8-15 against 280 kN on a QST1800.

Whether there is a pit depends on the handling route, not on the city. A fixed cuber inside the workshop, such as a QS-1000G-A at 7,500 × 7,000 × 5,500 mm and 15 kW, asks for a level floor and little civil work, while a crawler-mounted QS-1000Y works from a hardstand and travels at about 2 km/h. A pallet-free route takes the pallet return out of the layout: a QSMT1000 moulds on 1,150 × 1,100 mm and cubes the wet product to a 1,100 mm height.

• Foundation and anchor plan: drawn from the mass of the frame ordered, 34 t on a QST1800 against 14 t on a QST8-15.
• Curing area: set by the pallet count rather than the blocks, and a QS-1200A cuber alone covers 12,000 × 3,000 mm at about 18,000 kg.
• Cuber stance: fixed inside the workshop at 7,500 × 7,000 × 5,500 mm, or a crawler unit at about 2 km/h with no fixed stance.

How does the shift target pick the frame class and the pallet fleet?

Output arithmetic decides the class before anything is quoted: cavities per mould multiplied by strokes per shift. An 8-hour shift holds 28,800 seconds, and a cycle between 15 and 23 seconds leaves 1,250 to 1,920 strokes. The published figures sit on the same base: up to 90,000 standard bricks per 8-hour shift on a QST8-15, up to 120,960 on a QST1200 and up to 220,000 on a QST1800.

The pallet fleet follows the same choice. A plant on a 1,400 × 1,400 × 30 mm board stores a different fleet from a plant on a 980 × 860 × 22 mm board, and the fleet covers the whole curing cycle rather than the machine alone. Where a QS-1200A cuber clears about 3,800 pallets per shift, the fleet count and the yard behind it are set by that number.

• QST8-15: pallet 980 × 860 × 22 mm, 14 t, installed capacity 44.9 kW, up to 90,000 standard bricks per 8-hour shift.
• QST1200: pallet 1,350 × 880 × 25 mm, 17 t, 57.6 kW, up to 120,960 standard bricks per 8-hour shift.
• QST1800: pallet 1,400 × 1,400 × 30 mm, 34 t, 104 kW, up to 220,000 standard bricks per 8-hour shift.
• QS-1200A cuber: about 3,800 pallets per shift at 15 to 18 seconds per layer, stacks of 1,000 to 1,200 mm square.

Frame sections, oversize pieces and packing grade on the inland leg

The moulding frame travels as an oversize piece, and its size decides how the shipment is broken down. A QST1800 measures 15,500 × 5,500 × 3,200 mm at 34 t, a QST1500 measures 11,500 × 4,550 × 2,800 mm at 20 t and a QST8-15 measures 9,800 × 3,600 × 2,800 mm at 14 t. Moulds, panels, cuber and conveyors travel separately, and a machine built to move shows it: the QS-1000Y cuber ships at 5,000 × 1,900 × 2,500 mm.

Packing grade follows the same logic. Machined faces, hydraulic units and the control panel travel in cases, the frame travels braced with marked lifting points, and anything stored in an open yard needs the higher grade.

Moulds, spares and what the first shipment has to carry

The mould set decides what the plant can sell in month one, and its cavity count is fixed by the product. One QST6-15 set covers a 390 × 190 × 190 mm hollow block at 6 pieces per mould, a 240 × 115 × 90 mm porous brick at 15 pieces, a 240 × 115 × 51 mm standard brick at 32 to 36 pieces and a 200 × 100 × 60 mm coloured floor tile at 21 to 24 pieces. One mould ordered and the rest added later keeps the first payment low but leaves the plant selling a single product.

Wear parts go in the first shipment: mould cores and liners, hydraulic filters and seals, control sensors and boards for the pallet fleet. Moulds cut to micron level from heat-treated alloy steel hold their cavity size longer, which shows up across continuous shifts.

Which items can be added later, and which must arrive with the machine?

Handling can be added later and the equipment is built for it. A QS-1200B cuber retrofits onto a running line while the original cuber stays in service, a QSDJ curing line connects to a block machine of any brand, and a QS-1200 pallet feeder at 3 kW and about 13 seconds per cycle fits in front of a machine already installed. A wrapper, a strapping baler and a second curing line are the same kind of purchase.

What has to arrive with the machine is the class matching the supply you can hold, the mould set for the products you sell now, and the foundation drawings. A frame above your supply means a second generator or a heavier cable, and a mould added later costs a fraction of a frame but a full shift of output on every changeover.
