Pneumatic De-Mould Table for 100mm thermal moulds
by Belinda TupouConcrete 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.
