The focus could be on one or more specific products or on a comprehensive portfolio (lintels, partition walls and/or different kind of loadbearing panels %u2013 for walls and floors/ceilings).To meet the requirements for high volumes a fully automatic plant should be installed, whereby the following elements should be produced:%u2022 The reinforcement wires, meshes or cages areproduced fully automated. In fact, the specifications for the reinforcement, which come directlyfrom the structural engineers' calculations, aredigitally loaded into the machines, which thenproduce the desired reinforcement fully automatically.%u2022 The reinforcement can be suspended on theholding frames in (multiple) mounting wagons,but there is also the option to have it hungautomatically on the frames. Afterwards, the reinforcement holding frames will be handed overto the reinforcement manipulators for a specificmould/cake. Depending on the required capacity, a single- or double-layer gantry structurecan be provided.%u2022 Again, depending on the desired capacity, upto four reinforcement manipulators can beprovided. The scope of supply can also include: one or two coating baths, multiple waiting positions, a fully automatic needle wax bath, preceded by a needle cleaning installation, automatic locking and unlocking systems and provisions to lower the reinforcement frames in the moulds and to lift off the holding frames from the moulds. The comprehensive control system of the reinforcement manipulators ensures that these processes are carried out automatically in the correct sequence and within the required times.%u2022 Additionally, a data tracking system can beinstalled in the plant to ensure that all mouldscan be tracked from casting to the cutting line.This means that it is possible to trace what typeof reinforcement is contained in each cake/element. In most cases the data tracing systemlinks also the raw material data, mixing towerbatches, etc. to each cake. The tracking of thecakes also continues along the cutting line, onthe hardening grids and on the hardening carsthat pass through the autoclaves. That way,each individual panel can be tracked using aseparate coding system for the panels. Thecake's journey through the production processand the reinforcement it contains can be tracedat any time.Panel take-off station Ready for transport: reinforced AAC panelsDouble-layer gantry structure
