Hollow core slab production
Concore has got two machines for hollow core slab production: the slipformer and the extruder. The slipformer stands out in its adaptability and efficiency in creating precast concrete elements. This machine is capable of producing slabs of various sizes, ranging from 600mm to 2400mm in width and 80mm to 1000mm in height. The process of changing the dimensions of the hollow core slab is streamlined, thanks to the use of interchangeable forming inserts—sf 300, sf 500, and sf 1000—each catering to different slab heights. For instance, the sf 300 is used for slabs from 80mm to 300mm, while the sf 1000 accommodates the production of slabs up to 1000mm in height.
Moreover, the flexibility in customizing the number and shape of voids within the slabs allows for bespoke solutions tailored to specific structural requirements. This is facilitated by easily swappable forming tubes, which not only simplify adjustments but also eliminate the need for skilled labor during the process. Each insert comes equipped with multiple concrete feeders and a smoothing device to ensure a consistent supply of concrete and a smooth surface finish. Quick couplings for mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical connections further enhance the machine’s efficiency by reducing downtime during product changes. The Slipformer’s ability to seamlessly switch between producing slabs for floors and walls makes it a crucial tool in modern construction.
The Concore Extruder: A model of precision and efficiency
The Concore Extruder, another crucial piece of equipment for hollow core slab production, is renowned for its precision and operational ease. This machine’s setup includes a power unit, hopper, and nozzle modules, all designed to facilitate the production of slabs with cross-sections between 150mm and 500mm. With a standard width of 1.200mm, the extruder excels in its capability to adjust to varying requirements such as fire resistance and insulation placement. The accessibility and maintenance of the machine are streamlined by an integrated platform that allows easy movement over the slab and quick access to the hopper.
An essential feature of the Concore Extruder is its automation and reliability, engineered to ensure uninterrupted operation and optimal output. The machine’s electrically driven cable drum, which operates independently of external power supplies, underscores its self-sufficient capabilities. This design consideration not only enhances safety and convenience but also underscores the manufacturer’s commitment to creating robust and user-friendly systems. The adaptability and ease of use embodied in the Concore Extruder make it an invaluable asset for producing hollow core slabs that meet diverse construction demands efficiently.
