With the further development of formwork solutions for precast concrete element production, especially for volumetric elements (e.g. room modules), intelligence solutions for filling these formworks are required to enable high surface quality and efficient production. In addition to its formwork solutions, Ratec has developed a practical pumping technology for filling closed formworks that is specifically tailored to the requirements of the precast plant. The pump solution emerged from the upcrete technology developed by Ratec, which represents a procedure for production of particularly complex and structured flat or volumetric precast concrete elements that has been established in the market for over ten years. Centrepiece of the upcrete procedure is the UPP100 concrete pump, which has been continuously developed and optimised for diverse applications in numerous projects and test series.
