The present invention pertains to integrated machine for manufacturing anchor embedded cladding elements. Essentially, this machine comprises a cladding block manufacturing machine and anchor feeding and embedding machine, where the concrete block manufacturing machine and anchor feeding and embedding machine are configured for coordinated operation for producing anchors embedded cladding elements comprising concrete blocks and anchors embedded within said blocks. The flexibility and versatility of the machine is in determining the end location of the anchors in the final cladding elements before even manufacturing the cladding blocks. This provides greater degree of freedom, which in turn allows increasing the strength in fixing the cladding elements to a support wall on the one hand, and decreasing onsite or prefabrication workload and difficulties in the cladding process.

A machine for manufacturing anchor embedded cladding element comprising:
An anchor embedded cladding element comprising:
An anchor for embedding in a cladding element, said anchor comprising a long part and a short part, said parts are in 90° orientation one relative to the other, and a bending axis between said long and short parts, wherein said short part of said anchor is configured to be embedded in a bottom “dry” concrete layer of said cladding element and said long part is exposed on a surface of said cladding element and leveled with a surface of said “dry” concrete layer.
