Concrete Hollow Slab Forms

Concrete hollow slab forms are an essential part of hollow slab slab systems in the modern construction industry. These systems offer lighter, more insulated, and more flexible solutions than traditional reinforced concrete slabs. By creating voids within the slab, they save material and improve structural performance. The elements used to create these voids are called hollow slab forms. These forms, usually made of durable and wear-resistant materials such as steel, allow the concrete to take the desired geometric shape during the pour. This reduces the structural load while maximizing thermal and acoustic insulation performance.

This image shows a close-up of a **high-quality** concrete hollow block mold (presumably a "concrete block mold" used for concrete block production) being placed on the ground in a blue-colored professional "workshop" environment of "Conmach". The "close-up" clearly shows the welds and paint quality of the process. The crane, "steel" stocks, and other "machinery" parts in the background emphasize that the weight is manufactured under heavy industrial conditions and is the product of a large-scale "facility.

Basic Functions of Concrete Hollow Slab Forms

Weight Reduction: The voids created by the formwork significantly reduce the slab's weight.

Insulation: Air voids increase the slab's thermal and acoustic insulation capacity.

Reinforced Concrete Design: Creates a ribbed, lightweight slab structure suitable for the desired load-bearing capacity.

Cost-Effectiveness: Reduces overall project costs through material savings and rapid implementation.

How is Hollow Block Formwork Manufactured?

The manufacturing of hollow block forms is a process that requires great care and engineering expertise. Manufactured with the quality and assurance of Conmach Machinery, these forms offer long-lasting, high-precision solutions.

Conmach forms are manufactured from wear-resistant and high-pressure sheet metals. These include high-strength ST52, tempered steel CK45, and special sheet metals such as Hardox, which offer exceptional wear resistance.

1. Design and Engineering: The first step is to create a CAD design tailored to the dimensions of the hollow block or slab required by the customer.

2. Raw Material Processing (CNC): Selected sheet metal is processed on CNC machines operating on the zero-defect principle to create each precision part of the mold.

3. Preliminary Preparation and Welding: These parts, which undergo various processes such as heat treatment, are joined at the Conmach Machinery workshop using a high-strength gas shielded welding technique. This joining completes the mold assembly.

4. Surface Cleaning and Precision: The assembled mold is then subjected to surface cleaning and smoothing at the CNC machining center. This final precision process ensures that the mold surfaces are smooth and suitable for casting.

5. Final Inspection and Painting: The produced molds undergo protective treatments to protect against rust and extend their lifespan. Finally, the "painting" process is completed and the mold is presented to the customer.
