An atypical-molded-body manufacturing device according to the present invention comprises at least one shape output unit comprising a plurality of movable rods provided to be able to move up and down and arranged along a first direction. A driving module transfers a driving force to the movable rods, thereby moving each of the plurality of movable rods to a predetermined height. An atypical curvature is formed by a difference in level configured by the upper end of each of the plurality of movable rods that have moved to the predetermined height.

The problem of wet-cast concrete products getting stuck in a flexible mold during demolding is solved, prior to demolding the wet-cast concrete products, by removing a vacuum on the flexible mold by moving at least one side edge of the flexible mold away from a part of the flexible mold that is adjacent to the at least one side edge in a direction opposite the open side of the flexible mold.

A method of forming simulated stone or brick column or a retaining wall is made up of rows of masonry blocks of generally trapezoidal configuration arranged in end-to-end relation to one another in each row, each block including a recessed portion being aligned with one another in each row and each block having textured wall surfaces simulating the appearance of brick or stone along one or more wall surfaces arranged in different configurations without the necessity of interlocking the blocks together.

A system for the automatic release of cast concrete products from flexible and deformable moulds is described. The system has an apparatus configured to supply the moulds and carry out the pre-mould-release of the products contained within such moulds. The apparatus has a first conveyor belt associated with a first pre-mould-release group and a second conveyor belt associated with a second pre-mould-release group. The second conveyor belt is placed downstream of the first conveyor belt and both pre-mould-release groups are configured to facilitate the subsequent mould-release of the products. The system further has a mould-release machine arranged downstream with respect to the first and second conveyor belts. The mould-release machine has a mould-release group, configured to carry out the extraction of the products from the respective moulds, and a plurality of conveyor belts, configured to move the moulds and the products inside the mould-release machine.

A production process includes introducing the material to be moulded into a mould, placing the mould in an envelope comprising a vacuum port; creating a low pressure in the envelope by formation of a gas flow through the vacuum port; deforming the mould; stopping the gas flow; and applying pressure on at least a portion of the mould, optionally with interposition of the envelope, at least after the gas flow is stopped.

Molding equipment comprising a mold having at least one cavity is disclosed. Each cavity allows the formation of a brick. A brick molding element is installed on top of each cavity to allow the formation of a mortise interlock element. The brick molding element is typically secured in place by mean of a securing mechanism. The molding equipment may be used for molding a variety of inter-engaging stackable brick element.
