- The secret of HAMMER AGER* is its unique way of hitting the block edges at 45° to compress, crush and grind similar to a real tumbler. Treating also the front face exposed areas results in a true tumbled block.
- Random impact on both edges and the split face of the block combined with special hammer shape gives each block its own aged personality.
- Proven look in a mature market with more than five years of successful sales.
- Adjustable speed and impact to achieve different textures or to compensate for longer curing time.
