It's a long way from raw materials through the mixture to the finished stone. Many plant components are involved in this process. Only if the system components are matched, can one be assured of a smooth process and economical operation of the block making plant.
It's a long way from raw materials over mixture to the finished (Kerb)stone. Masa Kerbstone presses were developed to fulfill among other criteria, the special requirements of the "British Standard" kerbstones. This "British Standard" is still a condition in countries of the Middle East and the UK.
The manufacturing of autoclaved aerated concrete products demands high standards for mixing and dosing of the aggregates, the control of the fermentation process and the control of each production step. Masa's aerated concrete installations are proven advanced technology processes, designed according to customers specific requirements. This approach allows complete solutions to ensure highly efficient, optimised processes resulting in consistent final product quality.
It's a long way from raw materials through the mixture to the finished sand lime bricks. Many plant components are involved in this process. Only if the system components are matched, can one be assured of a smooth process and economical operation of the sand lime brick production plant.
Masa plants and machines are installed and commissioned by our own experienced fitters. Masa relies on qualified personnel, trained in Germany.
The Masa Lifetime service extends far beyond the actual assembly and commissioning of a plant. Masa can rely on specific know-how and an industry experience of more than 110 years.
Do you need support with your machine? Masa Support scores in both quality and significantly improved accessibility. Whether "first aid" for technical problems, updates, functional expansions of your production plant or technical questions, the know-how provided by Masa Support covers a wide range of services.
One of the keys to increasing productivity and quality is continuous training of the machine and maintenance personnel.

Data backup
in sophisticated manufacturing plantsMachines 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.
Masa Smart BackUp
One of the possible causes of failure in industrial computers is, for example, the failure of hard disks. In this case, nowadays there is no need to lose any recipes or process data that you have developed intensively! Our fully integrated solution for this worst case scenario is called Masa Smart BackUp.
Did you expect anything else?
What is Smart BackUp?
To reduce the associated loss of data, Masa is integrating so-called NAS (Network Attached Storage) systems into production plants. The system, named Smart BackUp, is a backup station equipped with four NAS hard drives. The desired data redundancy is achieved by backing up all relevant plant data on two pairs of hard disks each. In the event of a hard disk failure, the data can be restored from the other hard disks. The backup includes the recipes and product data acquisition database of the production plant as well as all control programs required for automation. The coordination and execution of the fully automatic backups are handled by the Masa Smart BackUp System, which is always active in the background. Restoring the data in this way can easily be done online by Masa technicians.
