Mass production of concrete block (or any product for that matter) is highly impacted by even subtle changes.

With standard units comprising the bulk volume of most block plants, it is here where the efficiencies can pay the greatest dividends.

The unique chemistry of our Tech Shield 900 Series of admixtures pay for themselves in a variety of ways and go beyond “break even”. They improve concrete feed rates, mold fill consistency, compaction, and compressive strength. They also make the concrete slipperier and less abrasive to equipment. Put simply, mix designs and machinery can better achieve their full potential when using this technology.

• Optimal mix moisture increases strength potential
• Improved mold fill consistency reduces variances and defects
• Higher production rate further spreads fixed overhead cost
• Longer mold life further reduces unit cost
