Hollow core slabs
Hollow core slabs are widely used in the construction of floors, roofs, and room partitions due to their numerous advantages.
Manufacturing Process
- Long-line Beds: Produced on beds that are typically 120-150 meters long.
- Manufacturing Methods: Can be either extruded or slipformed.
- Thermal Insulation: Some units may include a thermal insulation layer on the underside, particularly for ground-level floors.
- Cutting: The slabs are cut to the desired length using a circular saw.
Specifications
- Width: Nominal width of 1200 mm.
- Thickness: Ranges from 120 mm to 500 mm.
- Casting Width: 1.2 to 2.4 meters.
- Load-bearing and Spanning: Offers excellent load-bearing capacities and longer spans, providing architectural and structural design flexibility.
Applications
- Floors: Suitable for both commercial buildings and homes.
- Roofs and Walls: Can also be used as roof elements, walls in storage buildings, or as fence elements.
Advantages
- Efficiency: Speeds up project completion.
- Sustainability: Environmentally friendly.
- Lightweight: Uses less concrete and rebar.
- Load-bearing Capacity: Excellent performance.
- High Spanning Capability: Capable of spanning up to 23 meters, typically ranging from 5.0 to 10.0 meters for residential buildings.
- Fire Resistance: Ranges from 60 to 240 minutes.
- Ease of Transport: Easy to handle and erect.
Production Efficiency
- Automatization: Highly automated production system.
- Compact Layouts: Efficient plant layouts.
Low Labor Requirement: Efficient production process.
Hollow core slabs provide a robust and efficient solution for modern construction needs.
