PRECAST CONCRETE ELEMENTS134 CPI %u2013 Concrete Plant International %u2013 5 | 2025 www.cpi-worldwide.comDemoulding is handled by a central, mobile hydraulic unit, supplying one formwork unit at a time. The prestressing frame houses powerful hydraulic cylinders capable of exerting up to 60 tons of force, allowing for controlled relaxation and precise operation of the shrinkage system during demoulding. Economic value for the customerUsing the modular formwork system from ConstruxWeckenmann provides the customer with clear strategic and economic advantages. The ability to operate multiple production lines independently and with a small footprint greatly increases total output without requiring extensive prestressing foundations. Simultaneously the mobile hydraulic unit reduces downtime during demoulding and supports fast cycle times.Thanks to the precisely adjustable formwork design, a variety of component geometries can be flexibly produced. Additionally, a wide range of products can be manufactured with relatively low formwork inventory. This lowers investment costs and allows for economically scalable production %u2013 especially beneficial in volatile or project-based demand scenarios. Altogether, this can lead to significantly better utilization of production space, an optimized plant layout, and a flexible, future-proof manufacturing process. Key success factor: partnershipBeyond technical excellence, the collaborative approach was a crucial success factor in this project. From concept development and manufacturing to on-site commissioning, Construx-Weckenmann impressed with a practical, solution-oriented project methodology. Intensive training of operating personnel, close coordination with the client, and flexible responses to project-specific requirements ensured seamless integration into ongoing production.This project once again highlights Construx-Weckenmann%u2019s competence as a technology partner for precast concrete plants seeking to scale their capacity while future-proofing their processes %u2013 without compromising on quality, flexibility, or safety. nModular combi formwork in compact design %u2013 ideal for smaller T-slabs and changing geometries in limited space conditions.FURTHER INFORMATIONWeckenmann Anlagentechnik GmbH & Co.
