MACHINE: CARTHAGE 3000 SS

Turnkey factories

It is a Semi-Automatic installation with a single workstation which makes it possible to produce a wide range of reinforced and unreinforced concrete structures and in particular circular pipes; ovoid pipes, box culverts and various other special pieces of large dimensions.

Depending on the type of installation, the “CARTHAGE 3000 SS” Machine can work with a second casting station: “CARTHAGE 3000 DS”

  • These machines work in pits, according to the principle of “VIBRO-COMPRESSION”
  • Possibility of producing works of rectangular, cylindrical, conical, ovoid shape and special pieces of various sections
  • Possibility of adopting a large grain size with good static results
  • The vibration generation is created by a central vibrator of great power, with frequency and adjustable centrifugal force; mounted inside the interior mold (Core) of the work.
  • The installation of the CARTHAGE 3000 SS Machine is managed by a Programmable Logic Controller with graphical interface and can control one or two workstations depending on the type of installation.
  • Automatic concrete feeding of different forms of molds: cylindrical; ovoid; square; rectangular.
  • Using the program introduced in the PLC and the corresponding electronic elements we can fill the concrete box culverts and irregular parts automatically.
  • Automatic pressing and compression of works with adjustable intermittent cycle
  • Demolding and transport of the product made with the outer mold to the drying area using anoverhead crane.

DOUBLE STATION MACHINE SOLUTION : “CARTHAGE 3000 DS”

Turnkey factories

Several reasons for choosing the “CARTHAGE 3000 DS” Double Station Combined Machine solution:

  • Significant reduction in the cost of investment
  • Increase in production (almost double that of a single station) with the same plant equipment (concrete plant, overhead crane, molds, etc.)
  • Great flexibility for production: Possibility of manufacturing two different structures simultaneously during the day (Pipes / Boxes; Pipes / Pipes; Boxes / Boxes….).
  • Concrete feed by means of a main conveyor belt pivoting between the two stations, and a distribution belt mounted under the front of this, which ensures the Automatic and homogeneous filling of molds of any format (circular, rectangular, square, ovoid….)
