Concrete Slipform
When it comes to precast concrete production, Concore has transformed the industry with their slipformer technology. These machines are essential for creating a variety of prestressed concrete products, including hollow core slabs, wall panels, solid floor slabs, ribbed slabs, and T and I beams. The slipformer offers an efficient and economical solution, especially for producers who need to work with multiple slab thicknesses and different types of prestressed products. Whether you need hollow-core slabs ranging from 120-400 mm, wall panels of 120-200 mm, or T-beams of 120-250 mm, the slipformer can handle it all.
With the ability to produce cross-sections up to 400 mm, it’s a versatile machine that meets diverse production needs. The ease of changing slab heights, taking just about 2-3 hours, and the even faster switch between product types, in less than 30 minutes, makes it a game-changer in the industry. This adaptability means that production downtime is minimized, enhancing overall productivity and profitability for concrete producers.
Slipform construction excellence
One of the standout features of Concore’s slipformer is its advanced slipform construction. This machine employs combined shear and vibration compaction, casting slabs in two layers with voids formed by mechanized molds that vibrate and move back and forth. This method ensures a high-quality finish and structural integrity of the concrete products. The whole process is electrically driven, ensuring a modern, safe, and modular design. The slipformer boasts a touch screen control panel where all adjustments are centralized, making it user-friendly and efficient. This panel allows for stepless adjustments of casting parameters, storing the best speed values for each product type in the system memory. This ensures that casting can begin at optimal speeds without needing time-consuming adjustments.
During casting, minimal adjustments are necessary, primarily to the casting speed, with all other functions synchronized accordingly. This precision and ease of control are further enhanced by advanced electronic controls and frequency converter motor drives, offering a faster and wider range of adjustments. Additionally, the efficient vibration system ensures that the concrete is compacted thoroughly, which reduces air pockets and increases the durability and strength of the final product.

Safety and modular construction
Safety and modular construction are important for Concore’s slipformer design. The machine features a flat exterior surface and an anti-slip system on the steps, ensuring safe operation. It provides easy access for changing parts, meeting all safety requirements and coming with comprehensive operator, maintenance, and safety manuals in the required language. The slipformer consists of a modular structure with a feeding unit and a casting unit. The casting unit is product-specific, while the universal feeding unit has two concrete feeding silos, enhancing its versatility. When changing product types, the feeding unit seamlessly transitions to operate with a different casting unit. Additionally, the machine configuration includes a basic set of hollow core pipes and side plates, vibrating shoes for the first stage of vibration, and front and rear plates for the feeding hopper.
The precise design and modular components of the slipformer make it an invaluable asset for any precast concrete producer, ensuring high-quality output with maximum safety and efficiency. This modularity not only simplifies maintenance and part replacement but also allows for future upgrades and modifications, keeping the equipment relevant as production needs evolve. The built-in safety features and ease of operation contribute to a safer work environment, reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring that the equipment can be operated efficiently with minimal training.
