Wetcast production line designed for the manufacture of manholes

Urvoy has chosen Quadra to supply a new wetcast production line for the manufacture of manholes using self-compacting concrete (SCC). The manufacruring process and the equipment were designed in order to meet the range of products manufactured in the line (manhole covers, risers, cones and bases), their dimensions (1m diameter, 300 to 1200 mm height), and their production features : cones and risers require a demolding by mold opening while covers and bases are demolded by flipping over.

This new production line has involved a 3D virtual reality reception in order to provide the client with a total immersion in his future plant, as well as an upstream work and validation of the ergonomic and the maintenance access of each working station of the process.

The production unit is made up of the following equipment : full automatic stacker crane, automated mold filling system, conveying system, demolding and palletizing cuber, and pallet exit conveyor.
