Accessories SolutionsCore Puller - Automatic production of cored products
Columbia's horizontal Core Puller attachment allows for automatic production
of cored products. The Core Puller shares the electric and hydraulic power
of the block machine. When not in use, the Core Puller simply rolls away
from the machine providing easy access during changes in concrete molds
or routine maintenance. By using a Columbia Machine Core Puller, you can
expand your product line and increase profits simultaneously with minimal
effect on cycle times.Front Feed Drawer - Reduce production expenses
Columbia's Front Feed Drawer is an economical, profit generating solution
designed to allow for the production of extremely high quality products
while reducing the cost of the overall mix. By using the Front Feed Drawer
to put a "cap mix" on concrete pavers, slabs and curbstones,
producers can apply various colors and finer, costlier mixes to the top
of the product only - not throughout - improving the exposed surface appearance.
This value-added feature is not available on some competitor's machines.Cleaner and Oiler - Improves product quality
Among many other innovative concrete building materials and specialty
concrete products, Columbia Machines has developed the Cleaner and Oiler
unit to help producers improve product quality and thus profitability.
By automatically scraping concrete residue from pallets and then lightly
oiling them "in-line", the Cleaner and Oiler leaves the pallet
surface clean and reduces the chance of new concrete sticking to the pallet.
By ensuring clean pallets, the Cleaner and Oiler means fewer pallet jams
in the production line, improved product quality and better overall performance
and throughput.CPT 60 Tumbler - The ticket to the tumbled product market

Columbia's Clamp Turnover is designed to automate the positioning of bricks, blocks or paving stones for specific cubing patterns. The Clamp Turnover, installed immediately after the cured product push-off, gently turns products or groups of products up to 24" (635mm) in length. The Clamp Turnover can eliminate the need for wooden shipping pallets and the need for manual positioning prior to your cuber. Both of these advantages allow for a faster, more efficient production line and increased profits. Pallet Turnover - Extend pallet life
Columbia's Pallet Turnover is a simple, easy-to-install device that saves
dollars and increases throughput in many ways. The Pallet Turnover limits
pallet "sagging" over time by turning the pallets over as they
cycle through the system. At the same time, pallet wear is also equalized,
extending pallet life. The Pallet turnover is fully automatic with adjustable
switches to detect pallets and initiate the turning action. The unit can
be switched to turn pallets over let them pass though as desired without
mechanical changes or adjustments. This simple design requires a minimum
of moving parts and its rugged construction means years of reliable operation.CPM Mold Alignment Fixture - Reduce mold change downtime
Columbia's CPM Mold Alignment Fixture machine allows for quick and easy assembly
and precise alignment of molds "off-line". This piece of equipment
saves valuable time during mold changes and assures proper alignment of
the mold shoes to the mold cavities, guaranteeing a longer concrete mold life and
better product quality. This is one of the simplest and most economical
ways to increase throughput and therefore, profits.Mold Assembly Table - Simple design, real savings
