Moldtech boosts industrialization in Algeria with the supply of a 40-meter self-supporting TT mold

 

Moldtech has ended Argelia The supply and assembly of a 40-meter self-supporting TT mold. This project aims to boost the industrial manufacturing of double-ribbed prestressed slabs for industrial applications, improving efficiency, quality, and competitiveness in the growing Algerian precast concrete market.

 

Evolution towards industrial production in the Algerian market

 

The precast concrete sector in Argelia It continues to move towards more industrialized production models. This transformation is driven by the need to improve the operating efficiencyThe repeatability of the process and quality control at the plant are key factors. Currently, the country has an active industrial sector comprised of more than 190 companies involved in the production of concrete elements, reflecting a rapidly developing market.

 

In this scenario, the incorporation of advanced technological solutions is key for local manufacturers to optimize time and reduce operating costs. The implementation of specialized systems, such as those provided by Moldtech, guarantees greater stability in the manufacture of critical structural elements for the development of infrastructure in the region.

 

Technical details of the project: Self-supporting TT mold L=40 m

 

The equipment supplied consists of a mold TT 400 T With a usable length of 40 meters, it is specifically designed for the manufacture of double-ribbed prestressed concrete slabs. The system consists of four modules that form a continuous production line, facilitating both logistical transport and assembly at the customer's industrial facilities.

 

One of the most innovative aspects of this system is its self-supporting designThis configuration integrates the mold and prestressing heads into a single solution, allowing it to withstand tensioning forces without the need for additional external structures. This feature drastically simplifies initial installation and allows for future relocation between different production sites if the manufacturer's strategy requires it.

 

Capacity and dimensional flexibility

 

The system stands out for its versatility, allowing the geometry of the final pieces to be adjusted according to the needs of the architectural or industrial project. The equipment is designed to work with cable pretensioning and detensioning systems with a total capacity of 400 tonnes , managed by means of four 200-ton double-acting cylinders located in the active head and a hydraulic relaxation unit.

 

Technical Parameter	Configuration Range
Useful production length	40 meters
Prestressing capacity	400 Tons
Nerve height	400 mm to 800 mm
Slab width	1.750 mm to 2.600 mm
Slab thickness	50 mm to 120 mm

 

These double-ribbed plates are widely used in modern construction as a base for concrete slabs in situ (incorporating starter reinforcement) or as roof elements with embedded reinforcement, being a common solution in industrial and commercial buildings.

 

Integrated systems for performance optimization

 

The production line installed by Moldtech It incorporates various auxiliary systems designed to maximize performance and guarantee the quality of the final product:

 

• Pneumatic vibration system: It improves concrete compaction, eliminating air entrapments and allowing the use of mixtures with lower water content to increase final strength.
• Heating system: Using hot water or steam pipes and insulating canvas, this system accelerates the curing process, reducing cycle times and optimizing the plant's energy efficiency.
• Modular configuration: It includes modular longitudinal formwork, interchangeable bottoms, and transverse separators to precisely adjust the length and height of the pieces.

 

With this supply, Moldtech It strengthens its international presence as a leading technology partner in the precast sector. The adoption of these molds allows manufacturers to operate in environments of continuous productionwhere process stability and repeatability are key factors for global industrial competitiveness.
