High-tech molds for high quality products

The cold shutter plates are furnished outside the battery mold in special furnishing racks and transferred into the battery mold after the previously cast element has been taken out.  The cast and pre-cured concrete element is moved from the mold for the rest of the curing. This accelerates the casting cycle significantly.

The novelty in this new kind of battery mold lies in the fact that the capacity of a standard battery mold has been nearly doubled by means of a so-called shutter plate. This means that the casting cell of an existing battery mold is halved with a new shutter plate that is moved by means of a crane. Besides the doubled capacity of each casting cell, the leading idea of the system is two castings per day; only casting and hardening take place inside the battery mold, demolding and outfitting are carried out elsewhere. This speeds up the production cycle and increases the capacity. Further advantages are that the molds require less space and are easy to use.
