Hollow core slabs are a popular and reliable building material known for flexibility, long life span and structural efficiency. Ultraspan is a trusted hollow core machinery and other hollow core equipment that together make exceptional hollow core production system.
From basic production lines for low budget projects to fully automated facilities. UltraSpan supplies complete hollow core equipment solutions for precast plants. Production is independent from weather conditions.
Indoor hollow core solution. When does it makes sense?
- Highest control over product quality and concrete curing conditions
- Higher level of automation possible
- Easier to install overhead cranes and concrete delivery systems
- Superior conditions for labor, resulting in higher productivity
The outdoor solution:
- Common in hot climates, tropical geographical areas
- Lower infrastructure costs make it a more affordable solution
- Increase in production capacity can be done at lower cost
- Weather conditions may interfere with production (heavy rain, thunder storms, ice)
- Labor exposed to the elements = decreased productivity
- Ultra Span’s equipment is built ready for any weather conditions, but some components will rust at an accelerated rate compared to indoors operations
- Difficult conditions for process automation
- Lower control over curing process and product quality
Hollow core slabs offer many advantages, including:
- Speed of construction
- Speed of erection
- Immediate uncropped working platform
- Minimum site in-situ concrete
- Long spans
- Diaphragm action
- Flexibility of design
- Performed site services
- Structural efficiency
- Factory produced to rigorous quality standards
