Abstract
A cement block splitter is disclosed. The cement block splitter comprises a splitter frame adapted to be mounted perpendicularly over a conveyor belt carrying several consecutive rows of cement blocks, two tables mounted on the splitter frame, one on each side of the conveyor belt at the same level as the conveyor belt, a pair of cutter supports mounted at each end of the splitter frame and each supporting a fixed lower cutter blade located at the level of each cable and an upper blade pivotally mounted on the splitter frame and located above the lower cutter blade, a first carriage frame mounted for reciprocating movement on the splitter frame and adapted to sequentially move the cement blocks of each row between one pair of cutter blades in one direction of movement and between the other pair of cutter blades in the opposite direction of movement of the first carriage frame, and a second carriage frame slidably mounted on the first carriage frame for moving the cement blocks off the conveyor belt onto respective tables in both directions of movement of the first carriage frame.
