Elematic supplies precast concrete machines and complete production plants for building construction worldwide.

Elematic is the leading one-stop-supplier

of precast concrete technology. Our

customers are in the precast business of

floors, walls, frames and foundations,

or even all of them. We offer precast

solutions for all needs – to match today’s

high standards for structural and

architectural design. With support

available throughout the life cycle,

we assist our customers to achieve

maximum profitability regardless of

the investment level. That’s our offer.

Resource efficient

Precast is a resource efficient building

method. In principle it uses less of

everything compared to cast-in-situ:

less steel, less cement, less water, less

scaffolding. And fewer people.

ELEmATIC mAkINg ThE mOST OF PRECAST


3

Precast concrete is one of the world’s

most common building materials. Even

so, its use is still increasing rapidly.

Adaptable and affordable

Precast is individual, adaptable and

affordable, and a perfect fit for all

societies and for the most demanding

conditions. From single-family houses to

large public buildings, precast ensures

faster construction times, higher

profitability, and better quality.

Precast technology works in virtually

all environments – cold, hot, moist, or

dry. But different environments require

different things of the building

technology. We know what it takes.

Precast is a fast and versatile way of building that off ers great architectural freedom. It also saves a signifi cant amount of materials and labor.

Factory-made precast products speed up

construction and require fewer people

compared to cast-in-situ. This ensures

better control and more cost-effi cient

construction. Building with precast

off ers a safer and healthier working

environment. Material handling is

easier and less scaff olding is needed.

Construction generates less waste

– waste that otherwise would have

to be handled and recycled. Further,

with less consumption of cement

and steel, precasting leaves much

smaller CO2 footprint than cast-in-situ

construction.

Combing looks and economy

Precast can be both beautiful and

cost-effi cient – such as sandwich panels

produced with Elematic technology.

The panels are insulated, which reduces

energy consumption for cooling and

heating. Also, the outer layer of the

façade can have a variety of looks, such

as brickwork, polished marble or granite.

Let us assist

Precast products can be used to build

virtually any type of building. Our job

at Elematic is to assist customers in

meeting the needs of construction

companies in their respective markets.

We off er consultation at all stages

– from the very early stages of building

construction planning to production

renewal. We supply production lines,

machines, equipment, and know-how to

anyone who wants to move into precast.

450 PATENTS AT YOUR SERvICE450 patents speak for themselves. And we continue to develop and improve – to make more effi cient and more user-friendly machines and technology.

As far back as 1959, together with our

customers, we have been developing

increasingly smart solutions for the

manufacture of precast walls, fl oors,

frames, and foundations.

If we were to calculate the man-hours

we have spent on research and

development we would have started

back in 1865.

Elematic R&D is an ongoing process of

developing and fi ne-tuning not only

machines, parts, and materials but

also manufacturing processes, user

software, and interfaces.

Here are some of the innovations we

have brought to market:

• FaMe. Fast preparation of side forms

and openings with light, recyclable

aluminum profi les and magnets.

Up to 70% of time saved compared

to welding and bolting.

• Comcaster. Easy-to-operate, radio

controlled casting/compaction.

Accurate and fast dosing saves raw

materials and time.

• Acotec line. Cost-effi cient production

of light-weight and non-load bearing

partition walls. Acotec walls are

moisture and fi re resistant with

good sound insulation.

• Extruder E9-1200e. Effi cient production

with shear compaction and automatic

control system. Saves concrete,

prolongs component lifetime.

Gives very accurate dimensions.

• ELiPLAN ERP. Secured up-time

and controlled/reduced material

consumption are two major benefi ts

off ered by this software – developed

specifi cally for precast production.

Ideas emerge when our technical

expertise blends with our customers

everyday challenges. Interactions

resulting in innovations that generate

added value.

building with precast has less environmental impact compared to cast-in-situ – a message we have worked hard to spread since 1959.

It uses less steel and generates less

waste. It is also a safer way of building

than cast-in-situ and requires fewer

workers on site and less scaffolding. But

there is more to it than that. The overall

energy consumption and CO2 emissions

during the life cycle of buildings need to

be taken into account. The same goes

for the health and safety aspects of

living or working in a building.

Concrete is one of the most frequently

used materials. It is non-toxic and

composed of natural materials. It does

not mold or rust. However, cement

production currently accounts for

approximately 5% of global CO2

emissions. And since concrete consists

of 10–15% cement, it is vital to reduce

consumption and minimize waste as

much as possible. The same goes for

water, which is an essential part of the

process and in the concrete.

Health and safety. Reduce, reuse, and

recycle. These are all important ideas in

precast manufacturing. We do our very

best to address these – and we have

come a long way since the 1950s.

A few examples:

• Reduced cement consumption in

hollow-core slab production with

shear compaction technology

developed by Elematic.

• Reduced environmental impact in

precast production with slurry

recycling system that separates solid

particles from water. Solids can, for

instance, be used in landfills whereas

water is recycled and reused in the

process.

• Healthier working environment in

precast production. Both air quality

and the level of noise are improved

with Elematic technology. The first,

by means of the dust collection

system of our latest saws, and the

second by our extruders with shear

compaction technology.

• A safer and healthier living

environment with precast products

manufactured with Elematic

technology. For instance, sound

insulated and fire resistant Acotec

walls, or the sandwich walls with

insulation for energy savings.

Environmental concern has never been

more urgent. With over 50 years of

experience, lots of know-how, and

smart technology, we take our trade

one step further.

Elematic supplies precast concrete machines and complete production plants for building construction worldwide.

Elematic’s history began in Finland in

1959. The business idea was to develop

and sell technology for the manufacture

precast products. From the very

beginning the spirit of the company has

been to exceed all expectations and

push the envelope of our industry. The

world’s first circulation line, developed

in 1965, was one of the first steps on

the road to success. And it was followed

by many other innovations in the years

to come. Our ability to pay attention to

customer needs and realize their

dreams through ingenuity and technical

expertise is our number one success

factor. Over the years, Elematic has

grown organically and through

acquisitions. Today, we are present all

1965 Housing market booms in Finland. A major residential developer needs to speed up production. Our solution: the world’s fi rst circulation line with concrete transportation tracks, movable/vibrating molds, and heat treatment.

1967 We start to export. First out: battery molds to Sweden.

1969 German daughter company, Finnelement GmbH, established.

1970s Finland standardizes all dimensions of concrete products, while research results in a new product – the hollow-core slab. A major precast manufacturer needs to produce 400000 m2 of these new slabs in the next two years. Our solution: one hundred meter long casting beds complete with prestressing strands, a machine that vibrates the concrete, extruding it as it moves along the bed. We call the machine Variax.

1976 Export expands as the fi rst hollow-core slab plant is sold to the Middle East.

1980s Export moves into the Soviet market.

1992 Introduction of patented casting machine, the Comcaster.

1959 Elematic is founded.

1995 Looks matter. Industrial design combines functionality with a stylish exterior. Our solution: to start doing exactly that. When we display a new extruder, the EL900E, at theBauma trade fair, it is a smash hit. The machine is chosen as one of the Finnish entries for the 1996 European Design Prize and receives an honorable mention in Finland’s Pro Finnish Design Competition.

2005 Precast technology is still relatively unknown to many markets. But they all are keen to learn. Our solution: a Precast Academy. A forum dedicated to improving and developing the understanding of precast production technologies. A place for meeting and sharing knowledge.

2006 Precasters are looking to gain more control – of bidding, job management, daily scheduling, manufacturers, etc. Our solution: ELiPLAN. A state-of-the-art Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP) for real-time control of production fl ows and optimization of precast concrete factories.

2009 One hundredth wall production line delivered.

2010 A Norwegian customer needs to be able to follow through on more extensive construction projects that require hollow-core with larger spans and profi les. Our solution: the recently launched Extruder E9 utilizing controlled shear compaction. A very quiet machine that saves more concrete than any other extruder in the world and gives more accurate slab and cross-section dimensions – and smoother surfaces.
