Tamping machines

Tamping machines are typically made to carry moulds on a turntable passing various stations with the exposed side of the mould facing downwards. This production machine has the great advantage of a quick throughput process and provides a final product with closed surface and a high degree of compaction compared to vibration systems.

• Moulds are moved along processing stations and have a movable face plate (matrix).
• Products of different thicknesses can be made from one mould;
• Compaction is achieved by tamping the concrete into the mould from above. During compction the face plates are laying on an anvill;
• The product is pushed upwards from the mould and placed on curing pallets;
• The face plate will be  cleaned on each production cycle.
• The use of matrixes allows various design opportunities of flat or structured surfaces.
• The tamping technology anables the production of stabilized earth concrete (SEC)
• This technology anables earlier surface treatments
• Sunstantial longer lifetime of moulds due to the use of liners instead of the replacement of the complete mould 
• Possibility to use higher percentages of small size aggregates (fly ash)
