Claims17
A vibration assembly for supporting a base pallet of a concrete pipe manufacturing machine, the vibration assembly comprising:
- an assembly frame;
- at least two pallet driving blocks supported for position adjustment relative to one another on the frame, the pallet driving blocks being configured to transmit force to the base pallet of the concrete pipe manufacturing machine;
- and
- a vibrator connected to at least one of the pallet driving blocks.
A method of adjusting a bell packer assembly, the method including the steps of:
- providing a recipe comprising predetermined driving block positions to a controller of a bell packer assembly, the predetermined driving block positions being suitable for driving block engagement with a base pallet of a concrete product of a desired size;
- and
- actuating the controller to command the motor to move the driving blocks to respective positions corresponding to the respective predetermined drive block positions of the recipe.
