Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

In late 2006 the form manufacturer, Weckenmann, approached the vibration specialists at Brecon with a request for a joint venture in a project that, with 9 battery forms, was in every respect, extraordinary. As part of modernization measures at the DSK Blok concrete precast factory in St. Petersburg, Russia, the intention was to install battery forms for the vertical manufacture of wall elements, in addition to, a new pallet circulating plant for the horizontal production of slabs. A total of 9 battery forms, for vertical manufacturing of wall panels each with 2 sections containing 10 chambers each for wall panels were planned in two neighbouring bays. Besides the enormous dimensions of the steelwork, high demands with regard to vibration technology had to be discussed.
