Transformer Stations
Project description
In 2024, several moulds were installed for a new plant in Europe, including modular moulds for compact transformer stations, roof moulds and a cable basement mould.
Modular moulds for transformer stations:
- Mould 1: Fixed width, 2 lengths
- Mould 2: Fixed length, 2 widths
- Mould 3: Length adjustable in 20 cm increments from 3 m to 8 m fixed width and fixed height
- Mould 4: Length adjustable in 20 cm increments from 3 m to 8 m fixed width and 2 heights
Variable basement mould
The length of the mould can be adjusted in 20 cm increments from 2.95 m to 7.95 m, with two widths similar to the elements from mould 3 and 4 and a fixed height. It consists of a fixed and a movable base end core and various core segments in different in lengths, which can be flexibly combined to cover the various lengths. In addition, widening segments are available for the second width. The core segments are moved hydraulically on a base frame.
Over 1000 different variants can be produced
Moulds 3 and 4 as well as the basement mould can therefore each cover 26 lengths, and the basement mould an additional two widths. Mould 4 can also produce two different element heights. For interior walls, the requirement was for eight possible variants for interior walls, six of them in a fixed position and two that can be freely positioned along the length in 10 cm increments. This required a very compact and well thought-out design solution, which was found. For moulds 3 and 4, this gives more than 1000 different variants of concrete bodies that can be produced in one mould.
Various recesses are also available for doors, which can also be varied and positioned freely. The basement mould is also adapted to the elements produced.
Roof moulds
The dimensions of the roof mould were planned to match the room module mould:
Additional equipment
The moulds are supplemented by additional equipment:
- A turning station with a capacity of 30 tonnes, suitable for all elements and cellars
- A hydraulic tilting table
- A high-frequency vibrator for concrete compaction for all moulds
