Pneumatic De-Mould Table for 100mm thermal moulds

Concrete Test Cylinder Extraction from Thermal Moulds

For over 180 years, the concrete cylinder test, commonly known as the concrete break test, has been a staple in compression strength testing within the construction industry. But what if there was a more efficient and safer way to extract concrete cylinders from moulds without the physical strain of constant bending?

Hylec Controls has the answer! Introducing our cutting-edge pneumatic de-mount table, specifically engineered for extracting concrete cylinder samples from 100mm thermal moulds.

How It Works: Our thermal moulds include a small hole at the bottom center, allowing compressed air to be injected via a small air cleaning nozzle. This straightforward mechanism effortlessly lifts the mould off the specimen.

Key Features

  • User-Friendly Operation:
    • Remove the lid from the thermal mould
    • Place the mould upside down on the pneumatic table nozzle
    • Pull the lever for easy extraction
    • The concrete sample is safely extracted into the table, ready for removal

Specifications

  • Rigid Site Standard Attenuated Cabinet with an integrated air compressor
  • Pneumatic Extraction Mechanism with a nozzle head and positioning ring for seamless operation
  • Heavy Duty Construction featuring crane lugs, fork pockets and wheels for easy relocation
  • Secure Storage with adjustable shelves, dual-locking doors and a powder-coated finish

Compressor Features:

  • 2.8L/Min 6 Bar adjustable, low-noise compressor
  • Oil-free Direct Drive motor for minimal maintenance
  • Dual cylinders with low RPM for reduced noise and power consumption
  • Rubber feet to absorb vibrations and noise

Press Fixture Features:

  • Rapid movement hand press with adjustable height
  • 25mm Diameter Steel Column for adjustable sealing head height
  • 240V single-phase, 10-amp power supply

Hylec Controls' pneumatically controlled extraction jig is expertly designed for the safe removal of concrete cylinders from thermal moulds. The mould is inverted over a recessed basket, and a custom rubber nozzle is fitted. A manually activated air switch then controls the extraction under regulated air pressure.
