Different mold 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) Demolding is by lifting the base formwork by up to 4 inches. 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 mold can be used to cover a range of lengths in 4 inch increments with up to 4 widths at the same time |
| |
“Flying” movable shrinking core (upcrete®), which is lifted out of the mold for demolding. 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 molds 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 |
