Abstract

Abstract The invention is concerned with a method for continuous slide-casting of large-size concrete objects or corresponding elements for compacting high-viscosity casting mix. The slide-casting mould (33) comprises a bottom plane (34), side walls (38, 39) of the mould, as well as means (37) for pressurizing the casting mix mechanically. According to the invention, before the parallel side walls (44, 54) at the outlet end of the slide-casting mould (33), within the casting line concerned, walls or wall portions (40 to 43, 50 to 53) are provided as fitted to each other or to their corresponding portions, provided as pairs, as pivotable always in the same direction around substantially vertical shafts (45 to 49, 55 to 59) included in their planes. The moving parts of the side walls (38, 39) may be displaced in pairs in the lateral direction, relative the casting direction, e.g., by means of cylinder-piston devices (61 to 63). Thereat, repeated parallel dislocations back and forth are produced in the various regional zones of the mechanically pressurized high-viscosity casting mix (35) present in the slide-casting mould (33), and in particular in parallel dislocation planes of casting mix (35) in the mould (33), placed perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the casting base.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 138 words
A method for continuous slide-casting of concrete objects or corresponding elements for compacting a high-viscosity mix in a slide-casting mold having a casting base and opposite wall portions comprising: producing only parallel dislocations back and forth in various regional zones of the mechanically pressurized high-viscosity casting mix present in the mold, and in particular in parallel dislocation planes of the casting mix placed perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the casting base, pivoting at least two opposite wall portions of the slide-casting mold so as to be synchronized and always in the same direction in relation to each other, said pivoting provided around substantially parallel vertical shafts placed at a distance from each other, included in the planes of the mold walls, and being placed side by side in relation to the longitudinal direction of the casting base.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 138 words
A method for continuous slide-casting of concrete objects or corresponding elements for compacting a high-viscosity mix in a slide-casting mold having a casting base and opposite wall portions comprising: producing only parallel dislocations back and forth in various regional zones of the mechanically pressurized high-viscosity casting mix present in the mold, and in particular in parallel dislocation planes of the casting mix placed perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the casting base, pivoting at least two opposite wall portions of the slide-casting mold so as to be synchronized and always in the same direction in relation to each other, said pivoting provided around substantially parallel vertical shafts placed at a distance from each other, included in the planes of the mold walls, and being placed side by side in relation to the longitudinal direction of the casting base.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 32 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the frequency of oscillation of the portions of the walls of the slide-casting mold is, at the maximum, 10 to 20 oscillations per second.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 34 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the wall portions of the slide-casting mold, at a first compacting zone, are displaced by the pivoting from a center position by about 10° to 15°.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 32 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the frequency of oscillation of the portions of the walls of the slide-casting mold is, at the maximum, 2 to 10 oscillations per second.
