The Besser Model SPT splitter can split 4" (100 mm), 8" (200 mm), 10" (250 mm), and 12" (300 mm) units and turn them automatically. When split, 8" (200 mm), 10" (250 mm), or 12" (300 mm) units are turned together. Once turned, the unit's core holes are in position to allow the turned unit to be used as a base course; avoiding the need to use expensive shipping pallets. Once 4" (100 mm) units are split they are turned 90 degrees as a complete unit and sent to the cubing line.

To assure the highest concrete product quality, a pusher bar positions the product for splitting. Any contact from the pusher bar during the splitting process could mar the unit. The SPT pusher bar reverses before the unit is split to eliminate any possible contact with the masonry unit. The reversing pushing bar is a unique quality to Besser SPT splitters.

The SPT features a space conscious design, therefore, saving valuable room on the plant floor. In addition, it does not need to move in and out of line because it is a dual purpose machine. It is always ready to be put into action.
