After the concrete is faced with the fixed mold, the sliding mold makes the concrete form.

Used for road shoulder synovial film operation, drainage ditch synovial film operation, curb forming operation, etc.
This type of machine is based on the carrier that meets the engineering standards,
including asphalt products and cement concrete road construction on both sides of the curb and drainage ditches and other facilities
The special industry equipment consists of walking mechanism, vibration mechanism, forming mechanism, generator and power distribution, etc.

The operation process of the sliding form machine is that the concrete is vibrated and compacted by the vibrating rod,
and then formed by the sliding form of the mold, and the continuous operation is carried out while walking.
The shaped curb has high impact strength and stability.
It can be widely used in: highways, highways, airports and other places.
It is fully mechanically operated, saving a lot of labor costs, and is a new type of sliding membrane construction standard.

Concrete laser leveling machine+car type power troweling machine
For large-scale industrial plants, the quality of concrete floor construction directly affects the normal production. Therefore, the floors of industrial plants now generally require special bearing capacity, anti-slip wear resistance, and flatness. Through practical research, we found that in the construction of steel fiber concrete wear-resistant ground in industrial plants, using a wider range of concrete laser leveling/ leveling machines for leveling, coupled with driving double-disc trowels for ground finishing, can Greatly improve the construction quality and speed of the floor. The following briefly introduces the characteristics, principles, processes and benefits of the construction of the concrete laser leveling/ leveling machine + car troweling machine. ◤Construction method characteristics◥: ◆ Higher construction quality: The floor elevation can reach laser-level precision, and the ground flatness and levelness are more than three times that of traditional manual leveling operations, which can guarantee the owner's requirements for ground flatness and levelness. ◆ Faster construction speed: It can greatly shorten the construction period and improve the work efficiency by 100~300% (150~300 square meters of paving work can be completed per hour, and 1500~2500 square meters can be completed every day on average), and the manpower can be reduced by more than 30%. It is especially suitable for engineering projects that require tight construction schedules, large injection areas, and high quality requirements. ◆ Better integrity of the ground: It is very easy to achieve large-area overall paving. This paving technology can avoid the hollowing problem caused by layered pouring of the floor. On the other hand, it can reduce a large number of construction joints and make the overall floor Sex is better. ◆ The post-maintenance cost of the ground is greatly reduced: due to the large-area overall paving, the construction joints can be reduced by 3-5 times, and the construction joints are easily damaged by the load, which can greatly reduce the post-maintenance cost of the ground. ◆ Wide scope of application: Not only can it be constructed on reinforced concrete ground with single-layer or double-layer steel mesh. Among them, the light-duty laser leveling machine is suitable for all kinds of concrete floors and reinforced concrete floors with single or double-layer steel mesh, especially suitable for large-scale, high-quality ground construction. ◤Process Principle◥: ◆ Concrete laser leveling machine leveling principle: use precision laser technology, closed-loop control technology and highly precise hydraulic system to achieve leveling under the automatic control of the computer. This closed-loop control can adapt to the elevation of the concrete surface and can Automatic adjustment 6 times. ◆ Concrete laser leveling machine leveling principle: Rely on the hydraulically driven leveling head, cooperate with the laser system and computer control system to complete the leveling work while automatically leveling. The leveling head is equipped with a scraper with integrated design and a leveling beam with a vibrator, which integrates all leveling work into one body. The computer control system automatically adjusts the elevation 6 times per second in real time, and the vibration frequency of the vibrator with balanced design can reach 30005000 times per minute. ◆ Principle of driving-type troweling machine finishing: the driving-type troweling machine is equipped with a double-disk knife holder, and the hydraulic drive system provides power and torque for the two non-overlapping knife holders respectively. To achieve better results, use the joystick on the handle to control the sprinkler system, so that the dry ground can be sprinkled at any time for remediation. ◤Construction process◥: Construction preparation ➨ D ividing separation joints ➨ Processing the ground base ➨ Supporting construction formwork ➨ Setting up laser leveling system and debugging equipment ➨ Pouring concrete ➨ Leveling with concrete laser leveling machine ➨ Manual leveling after mechanical leveling ➨ Disc extraction ➨ Scattering Abrasion-resistant aggregate ➨ disk operation ➨ drive-on trowel finishing ➨ maintenance and cutting. Compared with the original concrete floor construction technology, the benefits of using the dual-machine operation of concrete laser leveling machine + driving trowel machine are: fast construction speed, low construction investment, good overall appearance of the ground, and large investment in ground construction joints and corresponding materials. reduce and so on. In the future, with the continuous improvement of construction quality requirements for building ground engineering, this construction method will be widely promoted and applied.Read More

How to avoid concrete surface delamination
Concrete surface delamination-that frustrating "peeling" of the top 3-6mm of a slab-is a project manager's nightmare. For international contractors, it often leads to failed inspections and expensive grinding or re-topping. In the industry, we know the main culprit: trapped bleed water or air. If you seal the surface too early, you create a hollow "blister" that eventually snaps off. To avoid this, you need a workflow that prioritizes timing and uniform compaction. Here is how to eliminate delamination risks using a professional-grade fleet from Vanse Machinery. Delamination often starts with inconsistent concrete placement. If one part of the bay is thicker or wetter than the next, the bleed water will rise at different rates. The Vanse Workflow: Instead of dumping large, uneven piles that create "wet spots," use a Vanse Concrete Distributor to ensure an even ribbon of material. If the slab isn't consolidated from the bottom up, air pockets can migrate to the surface during finishing, leading to "blisters." The Vanse Workflow: A Vanse Concrete Laser Leveling Machine (like the YZ28-4S or the telescopic YZ30-4E) doesn't just "scrape" the top; it uses high-frequency vibration (up to 4000rpm) to liquefy and consolidate the entire depth of the slab in one pass. This forces out excess air and ensures the bleed water rises naturally and evenly across the entire floor. Many delamination issues occur because manual dry-shake hardener is applied unevenly, preventing a proper bond with the base slab. The Vanse Workflow: Use the Vanse Automatic Topping Spreader. By mechanically applying the hardener immediately after the laser leveling pass, you ensure the material integrates perfectly with the wet paste. This creates a monolithic bond that won't "peel" under heavy forklift traffic. The most common cause of delamination is premature troweling. If you start "burning" the floor while bleed water is still rising, you are guaranteed to have peeling issues. The Vanse Workflow: When you use a high-performance Vanse VS1046 Ride-on Power Trowel, you have the torque and weight to wait for the "Goldilocks" window. Because Vanse machines are so efficient, you don't have to rush the first pass. You can wait for the bleed water to fully evaporate, then use the precision pitch control to densify the surface without trapping moisture underneath. Sometimes "peeling" happens near the edges of joints due to localized stress or "spalling." The Vanse Workflow: As soon as the floor is hard enough to walk on, use a Vanse Concrete Cutting Machine (Floor Saw). A clean, straight cut ensures that the slab can "breathe" and move during the curing process, preventing the edges from lifting or delaminating during the critical first 48 hours. Technical Cause of Peeling Prevention Strategy Vanse Advantage Inconsistent Placement Controlled, even distribution. Concrete Distributor & Mini Dumper Trapped Air/Water Bottom-up consolidation. High-Frequency Laser Leveling Machine Poor Hardener Bond Mechanical, even application. Automatic Topping Spreader Premature Sealing High-torque finishing at the right time. VS836 / VS1046 Power Trowel Edge Stress Early, clean joint execution. Stable Concrete Cutting Machine Avoiding delamination is all about respecting the concrete's timeline. You can't force the water to stop rising, but you can use equipment that works with the material. By combining the placement precision of the Mini Dumper, the leveling power of the Laser leveling, and the finishing torque of the Power Trowel, you ensure a floor that is as durable as it is flat. Don't risk your reputation on a "peeling" floor. Explore the full professional lineup at www.vansemac.com and build it right the first time.
