Different mould variants are available for different applications, each differing significantly in the design of the inner core and production process.
Core Technology | Concreting Process | Conversion Options | Areas of Application | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Fixed patented shrinking core, where shrinking of the core and lifting of the element by the base formwork take place simultaneously | From the top | Modular design of the core and exterior panels, made from standardised base elements that can be recombined as needed |
| |
Fixed conical core (non-shrinkable) Demoulding is by lifting the base formwork by up to 10 cm. The conicity of the inner core ensures that the concrete element is detached from the core and can be lifted off | From the top | Inner core consisting of different sized core elements and attachments can be flexibly combined. If required, a mould can be used to cover a range of lengths in 10 cm increments with up to 4 widths at the same time |
| |
“Flying” movable shrinking core (upcrete®), which is lifted out of the mould for demoulding. The precast concrete element is produced in the final installation position–no turning necessary | From below – pressure filling by pumping station | None |
| |
From the top upcrete® roof moulds also by pressure filling from below | Element sizes can be varied using magnetic formwork |
| ||
Conventionally from the top or pressure filling from below by pumping station | Extension with additional pockets possible (up to 2 x 10 pockets in total) Element sizes can be varied using magnetic formwork |
