Self-reacting carrousel moulds for prestressed tank elements
Longitudinally prestressed wall panels with a maximum length of 10m.
The panels are post tensioned transversely after installation. The wall elements are made in moulds designed as carrousel beds.
Construx-Weckenmann supplies a total of 5 moulds:
- 4 moulds for standard elements
- 1 mould for elements with post-tensioning fittings
Overall mould length: 12,5m Net mould length: 10,5m Element width: 2,4m Prestressing force per mould: 300T.
The angles of the side-forms are adjustable from 17° (tank with 11 panels and a 7,7m diameter) to 2° (tank with 90 panels and a 68,6m diameter). Adjustment is done manually, with four bolts per side.
Once adjusted, the supports can be opened and closed hydraulically with a hand pump.
