Wide Slab Casting Machine
The wide slab casting machine is used to cast pre-stressed wide floor elements. The machine can be operated manually, semi- or fully-automatic. A USB stick is used to load the data for the bed into the machine, the machine can read directly AutoCAD DXF files. It is also possible to transfer the data wireless. The bottom side of the hopper is provided with 24 independent working valves, these hydraulic valves divided over the complete width of the slab make it possible to cast any wishful shape of element. The hopper of the machine is provided with a weighing system, therefore the machine always knows it`s actual onboard concrete amount. The machine automatically calculates the amount needed for the next slab, If the amount left in the hopper is not enough the machine will not cast this slab and will wait for new concrete.
The hopper is also provided special stirrers, so self compacting concrete can be used in the machine without affecting the mix. Positioning of the machine is done with a laser distance measuring system, accuracy 2 mm at 200 meter. Operation of the machine is done with a operator friendly touch screen, when the, machine will be operated manually a ergonomic operator seat can be integrated in the machine. The wide slab casting machine is build on customer specifications, in other words a VD WEERT wide slab casting machine a absolute must have in prefab wide slab production.
