Pallets that are a steal, not steel
steel pallets for concrete block machines holding you back? Home Pallets that are a steal, not steel When it comes to selecting pallets for your concrete block machines, you want to ensure that your investment yields the best result in the long term – long-lasting production boards that cause minimal production disruption. The choice often boils down to steel pallets for concrete block machines or wooden ones. While both have their merits, the RHINO hardwood composite pallets have emerged as a compelling alternative, offering several advantages over traditional steel pallets. Price: One of the most significant benefits of RHINO hardwood pallets is their affordability. Compared to steel pallets, RHINO pallets are substantially cheaper, making them a more cost-effective option for businesses of all sizes. Surface renewability: RHINO hardwood pallets for concrete block machines can be sanded up to three times to create a smooth surface. Steel pallets, however, cannot be resurfaced, limiting their versatility. Board refurbishment: At the end of their lifespan, our pallets can be sent back to the factory for complete renovation and resurfacing. This process extends their service life significantly, saving money in the long run, reducing waste and minimising environmental impact. We even offer the same warranty as we would offer for a new board. Deflection and flatness: RHINO pallets are known for their exceptional flatness and resistance to deflection. Even after years of continuous use, RHINO pallets maintain their shape, ensuring the uniformity of concrete blocks and pavers. In contrast, steel pallets for concrete block machines can experience significant deflection and warping over time, compromising the integrity of concrete blocks. Rusting: Unlike steel pallets, which are prone to rusting, RHINO hardwood composite pallets are completely rust proof. This is particularly important in environments with high humidity or exposure to corrosive substances. Conveyor system and machine handling: The abrasive nature of steel pallets can cause damage to conveyor systems and other machinery, reducing their overall lifespan. RHINO pallets, on the other hand, are gentler on equipment, leading to lower maintenance costs and increased efficiency. Noise: Steel pallets can generate a significant amount of noise during handling and transportation. This can be a nuisance in workplaces and can also contribute to hearing fatigue among employees. RHINO pallets, on the other hand, are much quieter, creating a more pleasant working environment. Finger car lifespan: The heavier weight of steel pallets can limit the capacity of finger cars, reducing the number of blocks that can be transported per journey. RHINO pallets, which are significantly lighter than steel pallets, allow for the design of more efficient finger car systems with higher capacities. In conclusion, it is a no-brainer to switch to RHINO hardwood composite pallets for concrete block machines when compared to expensive traditional steel pallets. They are affordable, durable, resistant to rust and last just as long (if not longer) as steel pallets. By considering these factors, businesses can decide which pallet type best suits their specific needs.

Are you still using wooden pallets for concrete blocks? Home Are you still using wooden production boards? Traditionally, wooden pallets for concrete blocks have been used for manufacturing of concrete blocks, pavers and kerbstones for a very long time. Only reason for the same has been abundant availability off softwood and law cost associated with it. However, concrete block manufacturers have had their fair share of problems with the wooden pallets especially the following: Comparatively small lifespan Surface irregularities Deflection under heavy weight Moisture problems High breaking rates Higher vibration time Wooden pallets for concrete blocks have a finite and Small Lifespan considering they offer little resistance to the abrasive nature of concrete. With a density of softwood at 300kg/m3, it is helpless against the constant grinding of concrete on its surface. Slowly, the splinters start forming leading to eventual delay of the wooden boardSince a wooden board is made up of several individual boards joined together, opening and cracking at seams is very normal and experienced in 100% wooden boards. These Surface Irregularities are detrimental to the concrete products thus formed, creating consistent low quality products. Low density of softwood can cause deflection of wooden pallets for concrete blocks under heavy loads. Deflection causes serious problems due to varying heights of products on the same production cycle, causing immense and continuous quality issues. Some countries are local councils are very strict about the maximum height deviation that can be acceptable. Wood is a perpetual living material, as a result of which it constantly breathes air and water and can be victims of Moisture Problems. By nature, wood is an excellent material with very long lifespan provided it is kept at optimum moisture level at all times. This constantly maintained moisture levels enable boats last a lifetime as long as they stay in water. However, these characteristics change in an industrial environment when the wooden boards are subjected to rapidly changing humidity levels. Keeping the wooden pallets in sun a few times can completely ruin them forever, and require immediate replacement for continued concrete block production. Wood is a soft material and is prone to high breaking rates requiring frequent replacements. This weakness is an irritant faced by production managers all over the world causing frequent disruptions in production schedule, and mismanagement in manpower scheduling. However, the main negative point that production managers across the world face with wooden pallets for concrete blocks is the higher cycle times. Since wood has relatively low density at 300kg/m3, it resists transmission of vibrations, as a result of which, vibrations get absorbed in wooden pallets. Lesser vibrations reaching concrete translated to higher vibration period. Consequently, use of wooden production boards for concrete pallets translates into higher cycle times and to lesser production. It is generally estimated a 2 second faster cycle can enable you produce upto One Million more standard blocks per annum. Maybe it is time that you tried out the most modern engineered materials for your factory. You might be pleasantly surprised at enhanced production levels and quality of your products. And yes, using Rhino Composite Pallets in not a bad idea!!! Tags:wooden pallets for concrete blocks

Our Pallets far outlast traditional pallets. Truth or Myth? Home Our Pallets far outlast traditional pallets. Truth or Myth? Evolution in material forms has always been associated as an indicator of progress of any system or society. Humans have progressed by improving existing systems since time immemorial and Rhino Composite Pallets are no exception. Born out of sheer requirement to technologically improve the status quo in manufacturing hardwood pallets for concrete paver machine, as also to challenge the supremacy of monopolistic supply; Rhino Composite Pallets have evolved primarily from commercial market requirement, and perfected to enhance the overall experience of concrete block manufacturing. With an aim to satisfy every user, these production boards have been designed from ground up, embracing the best qualities of traditional timber. Making a seamless surface further perfected it, as board joints traditionally have been a nightmare of any production manager to create consistent quality of concrete products. Multiple types of surfaces were created and tested rigorously to ensure that the boards are able to offer consistent resistance to the abrasive nature of concrete, topped with continuous grinding with steel surfaces of the handling system in any concrete block manufacturing facility. Price forms one of the main basis of any products, and three different surface finishes are offer to the clients catering to different budgetary requirements. While a Glass Fibre finish is superlative offering extremely high abrasion resistance, Industrial Fabric and Synthetic films offer varied degrees of abrasion resistance. The core of Rhino Composite Pallet is formed by numerous cross laid thin veneers shaved from planation hardwood. They are individually coated in industrial strength waterproof resin, and then hydraulically pressed using superheated steam. The whole process results in formation of a waterproof board ideal to be used in concrete block manufacturing. To keep the quality of resin consistent, it is manufactured in-house to ensure constant quality and supply without any dependence on outside factors. Any product is considered superlative if it is able to reduce costs and improve the quality of the end product, a concrete block in this case. This is the founding basis of Rhino Composite Pallet’s design, and a dense hardwood pallets for concrete paver machine is a testimony to that design idea. High consistent density ensures transmission of vibrations across the pallet, from the vibrating table to the raw concrete, in a very efficient way. It ensures that the vibrations are not absorbed by the pallet, and get passed on to the concrete for product formation in minimum time possible. One of major qualities of Rhino Composite Pallets is the possibility of refurbishing these hardwood pallets for concrete paver machine. Once the pallets, after years of continuous working, show signs of aging; they can be refurbished to make them last a few years more. All that is needed is grinding using 36 Grit to remove any undesired surface; to be used immediately thereafter. Consistent to the quality of manufacturing, Rhino Composite Pallets come with a standard 3-year replacement warranty as long as they are not abused and manufacturers’ recommendations followed. It is in our long-term interests that our clients remain completely satisfied with Rhino Composite Pallets as well as the services associated with it. Tags:hardwood pallets for concrete paver machine

Read MoreEvolution in production pallets for concrete blocks
Evolution in Production Pallets for Concrete Blocks Home Evolution in production pallets for concrete blocks Over the past 15 to 20 years, numerous materials have been experimented for manufacturing precast concrete boards. Initially, automatic block factories were limited to advanced countries of the world, but lately we have seen a surge in such factories being installed in almost all countries of the world. The demand for concrete pallets has surged, necessitating technological up gradation in production board technology for better products. The good ones have stayed on while the mediocre one have phased out. We have seen softwood production boards for concrete pavers coated with Polyurethane, recycled plastic reinforced with steel pipes, bamboo pallets and many of the types coming to the market. Each type of production boards for concrete pavers has its own market, utility and a customer base that it addresses, some of which is defined by price levels. Different materials have been used in different parts of the world. Some companies even use production pallets made from bamboo and recycled plastic. It is quite obvious that decisions to buy such concrete pallets are made purely on short-term economic basis, which is quite understandable. After using production boards for concrete pavers that do not go a long way in quality production of concrete products, or those who simply cannot last against constant corrosive abrasion of concrete, production managers are keen to check out the latest technological innovations to improve their production as well as quality. Softwood and hardwood have their own inherent issues in terms of longevity and absence of consistent quality. Softwood coated with polyurethane has not found a lot of takers, as there have been talks of moisture seepage through inevitable holes. Recycled plastic pallets, although a great idea, are not able to remove their brittle nature, causing mayhem on production line. Rhino Composite Pallets, in contrast, have been able to engineer fine layers of hardwood and choose the best quality of each of different types. Research and development of such precast concrete boards has ensured that it offers excellent vibration transmission, longevity, choice of surfaces, high density and abrasion resistance; all in one go. Imagine using a concrete pallets for your concrete blocks with a surface of Polypropylene (Rhino Plastico).
