Abstract: The apparatus includes a heatable casting bed, a device for tensioning a reinforcement member at the casting bed, a finishing machine movable along the casting bed for casting a component, a cutter for cutting the reinforcement member, a plurality of roller trucks arranged like a train and of increasing height for wedge-like penetration between the component and the casting bed, a slider roller bed at a rear end of the plurality of roller trucks having a length equal to the casting bed length, an actuation device for generating relative motion between the roller trucks, sliding roller bed and casting bed, in order to transfer the component from the casting bed to the sliding roller bed, and a cutting station for cutting the component into segments.

Abstract: Process for the accelerated drying of cement mixes includes the application to the cement mixes of electromagnetic microwaves. The device for the accelerated drying of cement mixes includes a chamber in the form of a tunnel, defined by a supporting framework in which are accommodated cement mixes, preferably on a casting bed, and microwave generator, in the form of a plurality of magnetrons supported by vertically adjustable cross members. The magnetrons are provided with telescopingly adjustable waveguides having an outlet in the chamber, and the supporting framework is slidable on a track.
