Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

Machines and production plants for manufacturing concrete blocks and pavers have developed enormously in recent decades, both in terms of their complexity and their technology. Understanding the current status of individual components or assemblies is becoming an increasingly challenging task in modern plants, as more automated processes means more potential sources of problems. Many components are subject to wear and can cause defects. PC’s, PLC’s, and other electronic components are particularly affected by aging and wear. This can be exacerbated by unfavorable surrounding conditions, often found in a plant environment.
