Novatec carrousel plants: efficiency, automation and customisation for precast productio
The carousel plant provided by Novatec allows for the production of various prefabricated elements such as panels, slabs, and cover plates. This system is designed to achieve maximum industrialization of production, enhancing efficiency and minimizing manual labour ensuring a daily production output up to 1.000 sq. mt. Unlike traditional methods where materials are moved to different workstations, this innovative technology keeps the various processing stations and related machines in fixed positions, while the formworks are moved through the stations. This setup enables personnel to specialize in specific production phases, optimizing their skills and reducing errors.
High Degree of Automation: The carousel plant incorporates a high degree of automation, ensuring a smooth and continuous production flow. The integration of automated systems for different production stages—such as concrete pouring, reinforcement placement, and insulation application—significantly increases production speed and ensures consistent quality across all prefabricated elements.
Production Flexibility: The system is highly flexible, allowing for the production of elements of various thicknesses, widths, and lengths according to the specific needs of the customer. The equipment allows for easy modifications in size and geometry of the beams within minutes, eliminating the need for manual labour and enabling quick, economical, and precise transitions from one type of production to another.
Material Handling: By automating the movement of formworks, the system minimizes the need to transport materials like concrete, reinforcements, and insulation over long distances within the plant. This approach reduces the risk of material handling damage and cuts down transportation time, further enhancing overall efficiency.
Customization: These plants can be highly customized to meet specific production requirements. Different degrees of automation can be implemented, ranging from basic mechanization to fully automated systems. This flexibility allows manufacturers to gradually increase their level of automation as their production needs grow, thus spreading out investment costs and minimizing disruption.
