Why Finnish concrete hollow-core slab technologies are changing the precast concrete market
Modern construction requires reliable and high-precision solutions for the production of precast concrete products. Finnish hollow-core slab technologies are particularly important here, enabling companies to deliver products with increased efficiency and consistent quality. TDM Engineering equipment exemplifies an innovative approach proven in time and practice.
TDM Extruder and Line: Precision, Speed, and Reliability
The extruder is the key element of the production line. It forms the slabs from the concrete mix, ensuring uniformity, density, and the required geometry. TDM machines are equipped with a soft, dynamic drive, a next-generation concrete compaction system, and a patented screw design. These features enable precise adjustment and control at all stages, as well as easy maintenance.
In addition to the extruder, the process system includes automatic saws for longitudinal and cross-cutting of slabs, concrete delivery systems, and heated molding beds. This combination enables a complete production cycle—from mixing to finished product.
Where are hollow-core slabs used and why do builders choose them?
Finnish manufacturers’ technologies for producing hollow-core slabs are used in facilities focused on producing high-quality floors of various thicknesses and lengths. TDM extruders are capable of producing slabs with cross-section heights from 6 to 60 cm and operating on track widths of 90, 100, 120, 150, and 240 cm. Custom equipment can also be manufactured to meet individual customer requirements.
Slab cutting is performed automatically or semi-automatically, precisely maintaining specified dimensions and angles, which is especially important for subsequent installation.
Key benefits for the manufacturer: from cost savings to product quality
Using TDM equipment offers manufacturers a number of strategic advantages:
- increased process speed and accuracy;
- reduced operating costs due to reliability and ease of maintenance;
- flexibility in adjusting parameters for different slab types;
- uniform concrete curing thanks to bed heating systems.
Thus, Finnish hollow-core slab production technologies enable companies to achieve consistent product quality at optimal costs.
