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.
Avec Lithosys, le groupe Vicat ambitionne de devenir un acteur majeur de l’impression 3D béton en France et à l’international. Afin de l’accompagner dans la conception et le développement de cette technologie innovante, Vicat a sélectionné Quadra, constructeur français de matériels pour la filière du béton, expert en processus automatisés.
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.
Inauguration of a new plant dedicated to the manufacture of innovative concrete blocks
On October 21 and 22, 2020, the brand new Perin & Co. plant was inaugurated. Located in Saint Maudez, this facility is the 3rd Air’Bloc® plant.
established in France. In 2014 Perin & Cie will design and develop the Air’Bloc. It is the combination of a concrete block and an all-mineral cement-based insulating foam called Air’Mousse. To generate the insulation, Air’Mousse, patented by Perin & Co., a special filling machine must be installed. This machine is the result of a 3-year collaboration between Quadra and the Perin & Co. group.
Collaboration between Quadra and Perin & Company
As an industrial partner, Quadra participates in the development of Air’Bloc installations, provides innovative equipment, while improving existing production lines. As part of its new investment in Saint-Maudez, it was important for Perin & Co. that their partner was able to meet precise specifications. Thanks to its technical expertise and after an in-depth study of the various aspects of the project, Quadra was able to provide an appropriate response.
Plant layout
Given the particularity of the Air’Bloc® manufacturing process, the equipment was installed in a rational and functional manner. This layout allows each stage of the manufacturing process to operate simultaneously and continuously. With its different equipments, this versatile production unit can produce classic blocks, rectified blocks and high quality Air’Bloc®.
The installation of this new plant had to meet very precise specifications both in terms of production performance and product quality. To meet the group needs, Quadra presented a solution capable of ensuring continuous operation of the vibrating press.
To achieve a high efficiency rate, simultaneous or independent production cycles have been proposed for the fresh products, the dry products and the packaging line:
- By ensuring at all times, the supply of the press with empty pallets to consume concrete continuously.
- By pre-storing a large quantity of dry products pallets, thus avoiding the presence and systematic intervention of an operator.
The handling solutions offered and the automated management of materials favoring the continuous operation of the vibrating press are the reasons why PREFER decided to renew their confidence in QUADRA for this new project.
