The rising area (Fig. 3), designed without the need for complex pits or foundations, minimizes construction costs and facilitates easy cleaning and maintenance.ReinforcementThe reinforcement area plays a crucial role in the production of AAC panels, as it ensures that panels meet the necessary structural requirements. The process begins with the reinforcement holding frame, which contains specialized clip or bayonet needles, being immersed in the automatic wax bath. This waxing process facilitates the smooth extraction of the needles from the risen cake while leaving the reinforcement steel embedded. After waxing and drying, the reinforcement frame moves to the assembly car, where pre-coated, anti-corrosion steel reinforcement is securely attached to the needles. Depending on the type of needle, a variety of steel reinforcement options is possible, ranging from single bar, single mesh to full cage steel reinforcement. The assembled frame is then transferred to the buffer line, where it waits until it is ready to be placed into an empty, closed mould. Following the casting and rising of the cake, the reinforcement frame is carefully extracted, leaving the reinforcement steel within the green Fig. 4: Installed reinforcement manipulators gantry with the reinforcement manipulator at an end position in the far back.Fig. 3: View of the covered rising area.
