Rhino Hardwood Composite Pallets | Pallets for Concrete Pavers

Concrete Block Machine Pallets

Pallets for Concrete Block Machine

RHINO concrete block machine pallets are manufactured from high-quality densified hardwood.

This hardwood is FSC certified ensuring all concrete block machine pallets are made from sustainable forests.

After treatment with waterproof resin, they are hydralucally pressed under high pressure and temperature to create extremely durable pallets for concrete block machines. These pallets for concrete block machines, also known as production boards, are single solid pieces, with no joints or gaps whatsoever.

RHINO concrete block machine pallets are reinforced with dual steel mesh which adds durability and strength of these production boards. production.

Concrete Block Machine Pallets

RHINO concrete block machine pallets are designed in a unique way ensuring that hardwood fibres are structured as reinforcing elements. This structure gives extreme strength and durability that can far outlast many other materials.

Our manufacturing process eradicates the problems experienced from concrete blok pallets manufactured with other materials like softwood, pinewood, plastic PVC etc..

This advancement is achieved through scientific design and advanced manufacturing processes employed to create RHINO hardwood concrete block machine pallets.

From the rust and heavy weight of steel, to the pollution created by PVC pallets, the sturdy hardwood used to create our RHINO Hardwood pallets has overcome such issues.

With a highly densified structure, vibration transmission to the green concrete is optimised resulting in reduced cycle time, and consequently higher production.

REFURBISHABLE DENSIFIED HARDWOOD PALLETS

Not only are our densified hardwood pallets for concrete block machine durable enough to outcompete steel pallets, they’re also refurbishable so they can be used for even longer. This maximises your investment and makes RHINO Composite Pallets the easy choice for you. 

Wondering how refurbishing works? Simply reach out to us at the end of the pallets’ long service life and we will organise a refurbish at the factory for you. The pallets will then be shipped back to you for further use.

But before refurbishing, did you know that our pallets can also be sanded back up to 3 times, in-house, to refresh them?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A concrete block machine pallet is a large rectangular production board used in the manufacturing of concrete blocks, pavers, kerbstones and bricks. The semi-wet concrete in a block machine is formed into the shape of a concrete block or paver on a pallet. Then, this pallet is used to transport wet blocks into a curing chamber, allowing the block to dry into uniform shapes.
A pallet can be made from a variety of materials such as hardwood, softwood, steel, PVC and GMT. These options will be further explored below.
Pallets come in all different dimensions depending on the machine they will be used in. Contact us to discuss sizes that suit you.

Pallets are necessary in the manufacturing process for allowing the wet blocks to dry and form uniform shapes, as well as to transport them during this process. 
Pallets can be stacked one on top of the other in vertical racks in the curing areas to save warehouse space. Without pallets, the concrete block machines would not have anywhere to manufacture the blocks nor be able to transport them within the plant quickly in bulk.

Concrete block machines need production pallets for manufacturing concrete blocks, pavers and other concrete products. RHINO Composite Pallets work with all concrete manufacturing brands like the following:
MASA HESS ILMAR POYATOS TIGER QUADRA TECHMATIK KVM
A pallet should be highly abrasion resistant, moisture resistant, capable of holding heavy loads, and offer resistance to deflection on application of heavy loads. The thickness of the board is decided by the manufacturer and depends upon the load carrying capacity of the material. At RHINO Composite Pallet, we offer boards of all sizes with thickness ranging between 25mm and 70mm. You can also choose to add galvanised steel C-profiles to add extra strength along the edges where the pallets can see the most wear.
In the market today, different manufacturers offer different types of pallets. Material can be softwood, hardwood, steel, recycled plastic, GMT, PVC and composite materials.

The earliest production pallets for concrete block production were manufactured using softwoods like pine, fir and poplar. While they are cheap pallets and easily available, they do not last very long in the highly abrasive environment of a concrete block factory, warping easily due to ambient humidity and must therefore be replaced fairly regularly, sometimes every year or two in especially humid regions

Steel pallets are normally manufactured using mild steel. They come in different sizes depending upon the size of the block machine. Some good examples can be 900x1000mm, 1400x1100mm, 1400x1300mm etc. The thickness of these steel pallets for concrete block machines depends upon the size of the pallet, and are normally 14, 16 and 18mm. However, manufacturers may sometimes make a pallet exactly as per client requirements. Steel is a popular option for pallets however they are expensive, heavy and put a lot of load on the concrete manufacturing machine, leading to high maintenance costs.
GMT pallet for block machines is an acronym for Glassmat Fibre reinforced Thermoplastic. It is the latest entrant in the Block machine business; and is normally manufactured in China. The raw material for making GMT pallets is the discarded scraps of glass fibres and cheap plastic. The use of scrap material as well as non adherence to many quality/safety standards keeps the price of GMT pallets low. The quality of GMT pallets may be questionable as they can often shatter inside a block machine calling for summary factory stoppage causing production loss.
RHINO pallets are an ideal example of a hardwood composite pallet. The wood used to manufacture RHINO boards is a hardwood species. This hardwood is sliced to less than 2mm thickness, and then using waterproof resin, the slices are bonded under high temperature and pressure to form a board of desired dimensions. In case of RHINO boards, it’s then laminated with a variety of abrasion resistant material to increase the working life of the boards. The “composite” part means that the hardwood is further fortified with other materials such as a steel mesh, protective top and bottom surface coatings and edge protection.
Hardwood composite pallets for concrete block machines are durable to match steel pallets and can last longer as they can be refurbished to near new condition. They are affordable when compared to the same and are much more durable than softwood or GMT alternatives.
Choosing the right pallets for you depends on your budget, desired material and the dimensions required. Also take into consideration how long you want your pallets to last when deciding on the material.
