Recently, as part of the modernisation of its Neumarkt site, Kann chose to equip the plant with a robotised palletising system to replace the old conventional equipment. Quadra, a French manufacturer of automated equipment for the concrete industry, supplied the new facility.
With Lithosys, the Vicat Group aims at becoming a major player in concrete 3D printing both on the French and international markets. To support the unit in the continual enhancement of this innovative technology, Vicat has selected Quadra, the French equipment manufacturer for the concrete industry and an expert in automated processes, as partner.
Collaboration between Heinrich & Bock and Quadra began as part of the modernization project for the Wittenheim and Steinbourg facilities. Looking for a reliable and technologically advanced partner, Heinrich & Bock’s management was quickly attracted by the innovative dimension and versatility of the equipment offered by Quadra.
New concept of vibrating press with immediate demoulding characterized by the fact that this equipment can produce according to two different modes
of operation:
• A demoulding mode by turning the mould over
• A demoulding mode by raising the mould
This special vibrating press has thus the ability to manufacture a wide range of products. The production is fully automatic with particularly optimised industrial
production rates.
