Precast column mold

Concrete：

Columns are molded horizontally, only in rare cases such as round columns, vertical molds are used. Column mold consists basically of a formwork base with a fixed center platform and movable side platforms. Sections of the mold with different lengths can be operated individually or hydraulically through coupling plates across the entire length. Using an optional sliding plate, which is connected to the side platform by means of a pulling mechanism, demolding is made considerably easier. In this case, the finished concrete element together with the floor mold rests on the sliding plate and is separated from the center mold surface before lifting out. Column molds are also available with an additional mold unit for the production of the foundation footings. A pre-stressing unit can also be integrated for the production of prestressed concrete elements as well as a heating register. To compact the concrete, vibrators are attached to the steel side formworks or side frame grids.
