Production line and factory setup overview
Fabricates reusable steel concrete-formwork panels, walers, brackets and connection hardware by plate cutting, punching, stiffener forming, jigged welding, face preparation, coating, assembly and dimensional inspection.
Recommended lowest-entry line configuration Build around standardized panel/module dimensions and one approved concrete-pour system. Confirm design loads, tie pattern, weld procedure, face flatness, release-agent compatibility, crane handling and contractor rental demand before adding automation.
Production process and implementation sequence
- Plate/profile receipt
- CNC cutting/punching
- Stiffener forming
- Jigged panel welding
- Face grinding/flatness
- Coating/assembly
- Dimensional/load release
- Stacking and delivery
Products, capacity and market fit
- Approve a physical sample and applicable standard.
- Launch with a defined product range and documented tool settings.
- Keep material and quality records for each batch.
- Reusable steel concrete formwork - Panel/module size, skin plate, stiffener layout, tie/connection pattern, concrete pressure rating, face flatness, coating, lifting points and reuse cycle - Building contractors, precast yards, infrastructure, rental fleets, housing projects and concrete specialists
