PRECAST CONCRETE ELEMENTSwww.cpi-worldwide.com CPI %u2013 Concrete Plant International | India Edition %u2013 1 | 2026Upcaster, to cast stairs on a rampWith all the various types of technically sophisticated stair moulds for horizontal and vertical production, the stair ramp still occupies a permanent place in precast stair manufacturing, especially in the Uk and Germany. Using the mould, the stair flight is poured as in the installation position, thus enabling a simple and safe production of large stairs or stairs with top and bottom landings. Producing two small stairs side by side is also feasible.Seen the Upcaster is designed for large stairs with landings, it is made extremely solid and stable. This stability is very important, in particular in the case of stairs with a steep angle of inclination, since the top landing can be up to more than 5m above the factory floor. Old-style tiltable stair ramp moulds demonstrate increasing instability when having larger angles of inclination. This point was the main reason why the Construx-Weckenmann engineers decided to build the Upcaster, a new generation of stair ramp moulds.Front view of a Construx-Weckenmann UpcasterStairs made in a CombicasterCONCRETE PLANTINTERNATIONALTRADE JOURNALS FOR THE CONCRETE INDUSTRYAsk me a question.Hello, i%u00b4m CPi Chat!What is recycled concrete?Recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) are concrete waste that can be classified as fine recycled concrete aggregates (fRCA) and coarse recycled concrete aggregates (cRCA). RCA is typically free of masonry or brick components of construction and demolition waste (C&DW), as these materials have porous microstructures that significantly affect the properties of RCA [1]. RCA can be simplified as a two-phase composite material...This link will take you directly to the article:%u2022 [1] The use of recycled aggregates to produce concrete productsHello, i%u00b4mthe AI chatbot from CPI worldwide for the precast concrete industryI%u2018m an intelligent search engine and expert in all CPI contents.
