Show TOQUEPALA PROJECT CONCRETE BLOCK PLANT GENERAL Production began with the first of two esser V3M Vibra-pac units on November 21, 1956. The second unit was placed in operation June, 1957. Production was maintained as required with both machines on one or two 3 hr. shifts until June, 1958, when one unit was removed from the line. Production continued into April, 1959, with one unit. Average sustained peak production was approximately 5000 blocks per machine per 8 hr. shift. Total production, all types of blocks, was 7,737,365, distribution detail as follows: TYPE # NO.
