in the ‘industrial approach’:

1 Increase of the efficiency of the production processes and methods.

2 Elimination / reduction of working hours lost due to inclement weather.
3 Elimination / reduction of weather-related fluctuations in performance.
4 Increase of efficiency by clear work-flow processes.
5 Elimination / reduction of searching for material.
6 Elimination / reduction of rearranging material.
7 Reduction of loss of material.

PRODUCTION PROCESS

First of all, one prepares the mould by hydraulically expanding the inner core after which one places the
reinforcement, inserts, etc. After this one closes the exterior mould hydraulically and fixes all the mechanical M O LDT EC H 3D S O LU T IO N

upside down) on the Moldtech hydraulic turning device which can take a wide variety of casted element
sizes.

Advantages of the production process:

Excellent structural qualities as the element has no rigid connections.
Load bearing monolithic structures with high load capacity.
One casted piece consisting of concrete with thermal mass properties and without
joints which could have water filtrations.
Higher productivity as a result of casting the module in one piece.
Minimum tolerances.
Straight walls without conical slope.
FINISHING PROCESS
Possibility to deliver the module almost totally finished on the inside.
After turning the casted element, a first quality inspection is carried out to check if the element complies
with the predetermined standards. Advantages of the moulds and equipment:
Once approved the casted element passes through a multi-stage process. Hydraulically shrinkable inner core.
Possibility of modules creating various rooms in one casting.
This multi-stage “production line” process includes the installation of the electricity, plumbing, finishing of
the floor and walls and accessories. Opening of the exterior walls by hydraulic system.
Quality control takes place after each stage to detect possible mistakes as early as possible. Optimal efficiency with minimum of labour.
Minimum of tolerances.
Moldtech can also provide assessment about the finishing process, factory lay-out and supply of
automatization systems for the movement of the casted elements through the finishing line. All movements can be controlled from control panel.
Possibility of integrating a heating system to shorten the curing process.
Possibility of changing mould configuration for future.
