Everything You Need to Know

Our machines can produce a wide range of concrete products by simply changing the mold, including:

• Hollow blocks (standard 4", 6", 8", 10")
• Solid bricks and interlocking bricks
• Paving stones and permeable pavers
• Curbstones and kerbstones
• Retaining wall blocks and slope protection blocks

Custom mold designs are available based on your local market requirements at no additional engineering charge.

Shandong Shiyue machines are built on three key differentiators that separate us from low-end assemblers:

We deliver quality close to European brands like Zenith and Poyatos at approximately one-third the price.

Our flagship automatic block machine produces up to 14,400 standard hollow blocks per 8-hour shift -- verified under real operating conditions, not theoretical maximums.

Actual output depends on block type, mold configuration, raw material mix, and operator experience. We provide honest ROI calculations during the consultation phase so you can plan your business accurately.

Our machines are highly adaptable to local materials. Common raw material combinations include:

• Cement + stone aggregate (most common globally)
• Cement + river sand or manufactured sand
• Cement + fly ash or slag (industrial waste recycling)
• Cement + volcanic rock or laterite (common in Africa)

During consultation, send us your local material samples or test reports. Our engineers will design the optimal mix ratio and machine configuration for your site.

Standard configuration is 380V / 50Hz / 3-phase. However, we can customize the electrical system for any local voltage standard, including 220V, 415V, 440V, 460V, or 50Hz/60Hz variants used in Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

Please specify your local grid voltage and frequency when requesting a quotation so we configure the control panel accordingly.

Pricing varies significantly based on automation level, capacity, mold types, and supporting equipment. As a general reference:

Contact us with your target capacity and budget -- we will design the most cost-effective solution and provide a detailed quotation within 24 hours.

We offer flexible payment structures to accommodate different buyer situations:

• T/T (Bank Transfer): Typically 30% deposit before production, 70% balance before shipment.
• L/C (Letter of Credit): Accepted for large orders -- at sight or usance L/C from reputable banks.
• Western Union / MoneyGram: Available for small parts orders.

We understand that capital constraints are real for new investors. Contact us to discuss a payment plan that works for your situation.

There is no minimum order quantity for complete machines. We supply everything from a single block machine for a startup investor to full turnkey production lines for large contractors.

For spare parts and molds, small orders are welcome. We ship spare parts via express courier (DHL/FedEx) for urgent needs.

Absolutely -- and we strongly encourage it. Our 46,000 m² facility in Linyi, Shandong is open for buyer visits. We can arrange:

• On-site factory inspection with live machine demonstrations
• Airport pickup from Linyi/Qingdao and hotel accommodation assistance
• Virtual video tour for buyers who cannot travel

We believe transparency builds trust. There are no hidden areas -- you will see the full production process, quality control procedures, and meet our engineering team.

We primarily ship from Qingdao Port, one of China's largest export hubs with frequent sailings to all major global ports. We can also arrange shipment from Tianjin, Shanghai, or Guangzhou if required.

Available incoterms:

CIF is recommended for buyers who prefer us to handle freight and insurance. We work with trusted freight forwarders to ensure competitive rates.

Yes. We send experienced engineers to your site for complete installation, commissioning, and operator training. Our on-site service includes:

• Equipment installation and alignment
• Electrical connection and PLC programming verification
• Trial production run with local raw materials
• Operator and maintenance staff training (typically 7-14 days)

The buyer covers the engineer's round-trip airfare, accommodation, and a daily allowance. This is industry standard for overseas equipment commissioning.

We provide a 12-month warranty on all machines from the date of commissioning, covering manufacturing defects and component failures under normal operating conditions.

Beyond the warranty period, we offer lifetime technical support -- including remote diagnostics via video call, spare parts supply, and the option to send engineers for major overhauls.

We maintain a large spare parts warehouse in Linyi. For urgent needs:

• Express courier (DHL/FedEx/UPS): Most parts delivered within 3-7 business days to any country.
