CONCRETE PRODUCTS & CAST STONEwww.cpi-worldwide.com CPI %u2013 Concrete Plant International %u2013 3 | 2025Savings on underlay plates: Economic optimisation in concrete productionA key aspect that often does not receive sufficient attention when considering modern hardening technology is the potential for cost savings in underlay boards. By optimising hardening processes, concrete plants can reduce the amount of underlay boards required, which has a direct impact on investment and operating costs.Reduction of curing times for faster reuseModern curing chambers make it possible to significantly reduce the curing time of concrete products. By precisely controlling the hardness parameters, the concrete products can reach their required early strength more quickly and can therefore earlier be removed from the moulds. This speeds up the production cycle and allows for faster reuse of the underlay boards. Reduction of underlay board quantities and storage requirementsThe shortened curing time leads to a reduction in the total amount of underlay boards required in the production process. This not only has a direct impact on the acquisition costs for the boards themselves, but also on the storage space required.Savings on shelving systems and production hall spaceThe investment costs for shelving systems and hall enclosures can also be reduced by reducing the number of boards. Further, a smaller shelving system is required for a smaller number of boards, which in turn leads to savings in construction costs.Focus on cost savingsA detailed cost analysis can illustrate the economic benefits of this optimization. Investing in modern curing technology is associated with costs, but these can be compensated for by the savings in underlay boards and shelving systems over a Underlay boards in the concrete plant.
