Inspiring! New QGM QT6 Automatic Concrete Block Production Line

On 2023.01.04, we completed the installation of the QGM QT6 automatic concrete block machine in Nekemte. After 2 years of civil war and COVID-19, Nekemte no longer has the thriving scene of the past. Now, Ethiopia back to peace, and war years have been passed. The government changes the work focus to economic development and construction. With the support of Ethiopia Bank, Mr. Alemu’s project was established in Nekemte successfully and start to work now. In the past 40 years, QGM ZENITH supplied hundreds of block machines to Africa for supporting local construction. Especially in Ethiopia, we supplied machines to Addis Ababa, Sodo, Bahir Dar, Dessie, and Jijiga. etc. From south to north, from west to east. QGM ZENITH equipment has covered a total of Ethiopia. And now, QGM ZENITH is the first brand that local banks recommend customers choose.

Regarding our client, he has a small business in Nekemte. And last year, he finds that hollow concrete block is demand urgently in Nekemte even in total Ethiopia. So he contacts a local bank and plans to establish block making project for changing the block’s urgent demand situation and get profit. Luckily, Mr. Abel, the professional staff from a local bank, also thinks block making project is important for Nekemte’s reconstruction after the war. And we discussed for over 3 months for confirming the best solution. Finally, Mr. Alemu choose QGM QT6 automatic concrete block-making machine, which is most popular in Ethiopia currently.

The QT6 production line can produce hollow blocks, solid brick, paver, and curbstone. Based on the currently market situation in Ethiopia, Mr. Alemu makes the hollow block his main product. And he chose 20cm, 15cm, and 10cm hollow block mold, which is the most common and popular block type in Ethiopia’s construction materials market.

As for the raw materials, Mr. Alemu chooses Pumice like most of our customers in Ethiopia. Pumice is cheaper than crushed stone and has great performance in block making. It also has common materials which can be seen all around Ethiopia.

Except for Pumice, we also recommend our customer add the proper amount of sand to make the block stronger and of higher quality.

Al emu’s project adopts raw materials infeed manually. Although the efference will be lower, but it’s the most economical solution and suitable for Ethiopia’s real situation. You also can add a batch to distribute the raw materials automatically. Then you will also need a 3T wheel loader for the batcher.

In 2022 December, we sent our engineer Mr. Yang to Alemu’s factory for the installation and commissioning of his machine. Also training operators for Mr.Alemu. With the guidance of Mr . Yang, Alemu’s engineer installs and operates the machine well.

After completing the installation, Mr.Yang starts the machine and guide local engineers to make the block. And Alemu was surprised by the high-quality block made by the QGM machine. Generally, the price of a block made by a QGM machine will be at least 10% higher than others.

Finally, Mr. Alemu and Abel thanks Mr. Yang for his effort. And they give Mr. Yang their native clothes.

All in all, 2019-2022 is cold winter for Ethiopia’s market, even for the global economy. And now, 2023 is coming. We do believe 2023 is a new beginning for new global economic prosperity. And we will supply more and more machines for supporting the construction after-war in Ethiopia.
