Hollow core and T-beam Plant & Machinery, Extruder, Slipformer Wet Casting Cutting Saw, Product Transporters & Turnkey Plants

Modular and interchangeable, Nordimpianti’s Evo range of Extruder machines have been designed for the production of a wide range of prestressed concrete elements such as hollow core slabs both for floors and walls on long production beds. Standard heights range from 150mm to 520mm and they are available in the following widths: 600mm, 1200mm, 1250mm, 1500mm and 2400 mm.

These machines offer a cost-effective and flexible solution for the production of a wide range of prestressed concrete products both for floors and walls on long production beds, including hollow-core slabs, inverted T-beams, vineyard posts, lintels, half slabs, solid slabs, inverted double T-beams and U-panels. Standard heights range from 80mm to 1000mm while the width can be up to 1200mm.

These machines represent state-of-the-art in the production of prestressed concrete products such as hollow core slabs, solid slabs, inverted T-Beams and lintels with special attributes such as exposed wire and a corrugated upper surface. Standard heights range from 60mm to 300mm and widths up to 1200mm.

The saw moves along the production bed and is positioned at the desired cutting point where the element is cut using a diamond blade. Cuts can be transversal, longitudinal or angular at any point along the element. Cut times vary between 90 & 180 seconds depending on the type and height of the product.

Used to lift and carry the cut elements from the production bed to the exterior of the factory, where a forklift or overhead crane transfers them to the stocking area. The lifting machine can be equipped with varying clamps to suit the element being lifted.

This machinery is used to lift and carry the cut elements from the production bed to the stocking area. Various lifting beams with clamps are available for lifting and transportation operations.

This exceptional machine performs 3 vital operations in the prestressed concrete element production cycle:

1. Cleaning the production
2. Oiling the production bed
3. Laying the prestressing wires

Various power options are available including Electrical, LPG Engine and Diesel Engine.

To perform their function, steel wires are fixed on the reaction beams and prestressed before concrete casting. The stressing can be done in two different ways – single or multi-stressing. In both cases, the wires are fixed on the reaction beam by means of anchor grips.

Element marking is widely used to print product information or mark out lines on the concrete elements before cutting. Product data may include name, company manufacturer’s logo, date of production, product length, batch code or the type of stressing wires used.

This machine is used to make openings such as notches, holes or breaks in the wet concrete on elements previously marked out either manually or by a Nordimpianti installed plotter machine.

Production beds are used as the casting surface of the manufactured product and can be  concrete, cast directly on the production factory floor or an assembled metal bed (the type of bed is dependent on the products being manufactured).
