High-performance battery mould
High-performance battery moulds are suitable for the vertical production of single layer, large area wall and slab elements or other large area precast concrete parts with both side mould finish. A large mould area is provided on a relatively small base area. Shuttering work is minimal, the use of space is maximized, which provides a high system productivity.
Due to the optional integration of the partitions in a chamber, several concrete elements can be manufactured at the same time. Access to the open casting panels and demoulding are simple due to the construction. Opening and closing of the chambers is either done mechanically or electrically. A specially designed hydraulic system for tightening the individual casting panels as well as its more solid construction even bears the hydrostatic pressure during concreting. A sophisticated vibration system provides the effective compaction of the concrete.
Battery moulds are constructed as mono or duplex configurations. In the duplex version, the fixed centre casting panel is between the moveable casting panels so that the relevant chamber sections can be filled independently.Alternatively, if a production of precast concrete is required close to the construction site, we can provide a semi-mobile battery mould system. Due to the modular construction, it can be dismantled at any time and re-constructed for the next building project again at another site.
Innovative technology
Innovative technology makes high performance battery moulds the first choice for manufacturing reinforced precast elements of various sizes:
- Chamber length up to 10 m, chamber height up to 4.50 m, number of chambers varies depending on the required production capacity
- Construction as mono or duplex battery mould; alternatively as a semi-mobile battery mould
- Gangways and stairways for simple access and working
- Bottom formwork and side shutters made of steel or as a mould grid for ply-wood covering
- High frequency vibrators, optionally with vibration control, ensure a superb compaction result and highest surface Qualities
- Heating system can be integrated into the construction for local supply with hot water, thermo oil and steam; optionally available with heating control system
- Dosing bucket with electrical double flap valve and spiked roller or portal concrete spreader for the efficient spreading of the concrete
Flexible mould construction for versatile precast elements
The concrete chambers are attached with coupling rods for the production process. The intermediate chambers absorb hydrostatic pressure during concreting. The external panels are moved mechanically; an electrically motorised drive can be integrated as an option. The bottom formwork is adjustable in height, which means concrete elements of different heights are possible.
The outer side formwork is rotatable, which makes the demoulding process easier. Intermediate side shutters can also be integrated without any problem, in addition to insulation, window and door recesses. If required, the individual panels can be reinforced, so that it is possible to fill the chambers successively in a single procedure, or even individual chambers can be filled. The benefit: better quality surface finishes, shorter concreting times and the cost-effective production of small series.
