Prepare for
the Revolution!
ONE MAN. ONE MACHINE.
12 BLOCKS. 14 SECONDS!
Total automation made possible by the revolutionary MASA Record 9001-V makes masonry block manufactured any other way too expensive. Here's why:
High rate of production. The 9001-V cycles every 14 seconds, producing 12 high quality, 8 x 8 x 16 in. blocks per cycle.
Lower manpower costs. Only one man is required to operate the 9001-V. Typically, a complete MASA operation requires a staff of only 5: the plant superintendent, computer console operator, forklift operator, mechanic and maintenance man.
Lower breakage waste. The 9001-V's unique vibration process results in a denser, higher-quality block.
Competitive prices.
Heavy-duty construction.
Compatible with other equipment.
