Bibat
Hydraulically movable battery mould for precast reinforced concrete beams and columns.
A standard configuration consists of 1 fixed centre panel and 2 movable panels.
Depending on the application, the panels are equipped with a 6mm or 8mm steel sheeting.
The panels are opened and closed by means of hydraulic cylinders. The panels are therefore opened and locked without any manual intervention, so no tie-bars needed on top.
There is also the possibility of installing additional movable intermediate panels in between the movable panels and the fixed centre panel. In that case, the additional panels will have to be locked into position with the use of tie-bars.
Customers are free to choose any panel length or height. Lengths of 10m to 15m and multiples (connected) are very popular. The stroke length of the cylinders combined with the height of the panels determines the maximum and minimum sections of the elements which can be made in a Bibat battery mould. Anything between 600mm and 1000mm is considered to be a standard height.
The centre panel can either be open (with working platform) or closed.
