MCT state-of-the-art concrete spreader type BR
Among the MCT concrete distribution system solutions to optimize the flow of concrete on precast factories, the smartest tool is the concrete spreader type BR, one of the best results of the research and development efforts by MCT engineers to achieve the maximum functionality, efficiency and reliability for rapid and precise casting of concrete under any conditions. This type of machine has evolved from the first prototypes in the ‘70s to the latest generation versions, always more versatile and user-friendly, the result of years of experience and development.
The casting machine type BR is designed to feed concrete to any kind of mold or formwork, and it can be moved using a fail-safe radio remote control unit along the mold and up/down with custom strokes to reach a range of heights based on the feeding device, to clear obstacles and to reach minimum height for the pour. It is therefore specifically designed based upon the dimensions of the building where it operates, and the bucket can rotate 180° other than control the weight of concrete left in the machine. Discharge gates are specifically designed upon the receiving mold or formwork pattern, or to achieve the maximum flexibility for the pouring in different molds in the production hall or building.
Return on investment is always guaranteed
One of the most important features of this casting machine is that it doesn’t require a dedicated overhead crane for its operations. It is detachable from the crane itself, which can therefore be used for lifting purposes when not in the concrete pouring phase. The casting machine is hold in place with a customized interfacing framework, which is specifically designed and compatible with any type of double girder overhead crane, making it possible to retrofit all buildings with the MCT distribution system. Parking stations with maintenance and washing areas are part of the standard supply of the machine.
The concrete spreader can, as an alternative, also be integrated in a dedicated crane operating on a specific area of the factory or mold, in order to be fully customized and automatized over the formwork’s pour specifications.
All MCT casting machines, and specifically the concrete spreader type BR, perfectly combine with the distribution system by flying buckets, designed to deliver concrete automatically to the casting machine with a fresh batch during the pouring phase, constituting the fastest, safest and most cost-efficient way to deliver concrete from the batching plant to the molds.
These machines can also be fed directly from the mixers or other means, by moving the operating crane to the required feeding point. Upgrading production halls with MCT casting machines will optimize and cut the concrete pouring phase timing, enhancing the efficiency of operations’ productivity in the safest way, ensuring the lowest emissions of your factory. The return on investment is always guaranteed, sooner than expected.
