Zero Energy System: the silent revolution  

The production of precast concrete elements was noisy and entailed both high energy consumption and financial costs. Our Zero Energy SystemTM has revolutionized the production process: It significantly reduces energy consumption and machine usage, increases productivity, and improves ergonomics during production.

Customer requirement

  Our solution
  • Saving costs and energy during the production of precast concrete elements
  • Improving ergonomics during production
 
  • The Zero Energy System: reduces energy consumption and machine usage; improves productivity and occupational safety

 


The Zero Energy System has completely revolutionized the manufacture of precast concrete elements ecologically, economically and ergonomically

Reducing energy consumption and machine usage

Concrete produced with the Zero Energy System cures faster, making steam treatment using fossil fuels unnecessary. In addition, the concrete is self-compacting – there is no need for energy-consuming mechanical vibration. Thus, health hazards for workers, such as circulatory problems caused by the vibrations or hearing defects caused by the vibration noise, can be prevented.

A perfect duo

The core products of the Zero Energy System are Glenium® ACE und Rheomatrix®. Their properties complement each other perfectly: The Glenium ACE hyperplasticizer shortens the concrete’s curing time, while the taylor-made Rheomatrix admixture works as a stabilizing additive that renders the highly flowable conrete more robust.
