A tilting table is a precast formwork system designed to cast, cure and demold large external wall panels (sandwich panels, ribbed walls, facades, bay windows, planks, etc.). The table supports placement of reinforcement, concrete pouring, vibration, heating/curing and hydraulic tilting to remove finished panels.
Standard maximum mold size is 4 m x 9 m, and the system can be supplied in other sizes on request. One formwork can produce different lengths, widths and heights by using interchangeable molds and accessories.
It can produce precast bay windows, planks, sandwich wall panels, ribbed walls, façade panels and similar external wall elements — essentially a wide range of solid and sandwich panel geometries.
Each set is an independent unit equipped to place reinforcement (wire or mesh), accept concrete feeding, apply vibration, provide heating/curing and perform hydraulic tilting/demolding. The design emphasizes higher automation levels inspired by European concepts.
Yes. Several sets can be linked to produce larger elements or to increase production capacity. Because each set is independent, a failure of one mold will not stop the rest of the production line.
After curing, hydraulic cylinders tilt the formwork to the required angle to demold the panel safely. The system includes locking devices and controlled hydraulic sequencing to ensure smooth, reliable release and reduce panel damage.
The table accepts standard reinforcement such as welded wire mesh, rebar cages or prestressing inserts as required by the element design. It is compatible with normal weight and lightweight concrete mixes, and with typical admixtures used in precast production. Specific mix recommendations should come from your concrete supplier or structural engineer.
Cycle time depends on panel size, thickness and curing method. Typical cycles range from about 6–24 hours (steam or accelerated curing at the short end, ambient cure at the long end). Output will therefore vary; consult us with your panel dimensions and curing plan for an estimated daily throughput.
The formwork can be equipped with integrated heating/steam systems or electrical heating mats and insulation to accelerate curing. Options depend on required cycle times and local utilities; the equipment supports both ambient and accelerated curing regimes.
A level, reinforced concrete foundation or base slab is normally required to support the table and hydraulic loads. Adequate crane access, drainage, and space for concrete trucks, storage and demolding operations are also needed. Exact foundation drawings will be provided during project planning.
Requirements depend on the chosen configuration (vibrators, heaters, hydraulic power pack, automation). Typical systems need three-phase electrical supply and a hydraulic power unit. Exact voltage, power and hydraulic flow/pressure specs are provided with the technical datasheet for each configuration.
Standard safety features include emergency stop circuits, lockout guards, mechanical locks for tilting, safety interlocks on access doors, pressure relief for hydraulics and guarded moving parts. Additional site-specific safety measures can be integrated on request.
Yes. Molds can be customized in size, shape and surface finish to achieve architectural textures, reveals or integrated insulation cavities. The equipment is designed to accommodate a variety of interchangeable molds to meet project-specific requirements.
Routine maintenance includes lubrication, hydraulic fluid checks, inspection of seals and vibration equipment, and periodic calibration of controls. Manufacturers typically provide spare parts kits, service manuals and optional maintenance contracts. We recommend an annual service visit and keep critical spares on-site to minimize downtime.
Lead time depends on customization and order backlog; typical delivery ranges from weeks to a few months. Manufacturers usually provide operator and maintenance training during commissioning. Warranty terms vary by supplier — contact the manufacturer or dealer for exact warranty coverage, training packages and delivery times.
