Information on hollow core machinery including what is hollow core, the requirement of hollowcore slabs prestressed and production process, the importance of hollow core solutions in construction industry. Hollow core slabs are produced through different manufacturing processes under quality controlled conditions in specialized environments. However the dry cast production system uses the extrusion method of forming precast voided slabs. Therefore slab extruders are used in hollow core production facilities.

All You Want to Know About Hollow Core
Hollow core solutions have become famous methods in construction industry. Constructors and property developers are now opting for hollowcore installments in their developments because of the valuable benefits and reduction in cost they get from them.
What is Hollow Core?
Hollow core is a term used to mention the void slabs used in the constructions today. The hollowcore slabs are precast slabs made of prestressed concrete. These are made of continuous longitudinal voids and thereby reduce the weight and costs. The hollow core slabs are primarily used for flooring, walls or roof constructions.
Why are Hollow Core Solutions Preferred in Constructions?
Hollow core slabs offer an efficient and cost effective way of erecting floors, walls and roofs in a construction process. Made of prestressed concrete, these elements offer efficiency to the constructions with unsurpassed load capacity, span range, and deflection control. The precast hollow core concrete slabs offer durability, speed of erection and flexibility in design for better constructions.
Why are Hollowcore Slabs Prestressed?
Hollowcore slabs are made of prestressed concrete. Prestressing gives concrete longer spanning capacity, shallow depth and the ability to carry heavy loads. Therefore better space planning and a lower floor height is possible thereby enabling addition of extra floors in a construction. Lengthening the span is economical with fewer slabs to make and install.
How are Hollowcore Slabs Produced?
Hollow core slabs are produced through different manufacturing processes under quality controlled conditions in specialized environments. However the dry cast production system uses the extrusion method of forming precast voided slabs. Therefore slab extruders are used in hollow core production facilities. The process starts with the formation of casting beds. Concrete in casting beds is prestressed with the help of tensioned wires or strands.
Spanning Range with Hollow Core
The hollow core concrete planks are widely manufactured in 6”, 8”, 10”, 12” and 16” sizes and can be used to span 20 to 55 feet of distance approximately. Even customized sizes of hollow core planks are available for enabling better spanning in the required way.
