Abstract: A method and an apparatus for casting thixotropic concrete mix substantially in a horizontal slipforming process, the concrete mix in said method being fed through a limited cross-section to form a concrete product of a desired form, whereby the concrete mix is fed to a space to be vibrated under pressure before it is led to the limited cross-section, the concrete mix being kept plastic in said space by means of vibrating in order to secure the complete filling of the limited cross-section.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for casting self-compacting concrete mix, wherein the self-compacting concrete mix is cast to a mold so that based on the weight and the form of the product to be cast, the total amount of the required concrete mix is determined, the casting points are determined for the product to be cast, at which the concrete mix is cast to the mold, at each casting point the amount of the concrete mix to be cast is determined and the product is cast by casting the determined amounts of concrete mix into the mold at the determined casting points.

Abstract: A sidewall system of a casting mold to be fixed detachably to a casting bed, especially to be used with a sidewall robot, said sidewall system comprising a sidewall element (1) and a magnet unit (3) for fixing the sidewall element to the casting bed, whereby one or a plurality of auxiliary magnets (2) have been located to the sidewall element (1), to the surface of the sidewall element setting against the casting bed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for slip-form casting a concrete product, the product being made from at least two different grades of concrete so that the concrete mix grade can be changed in an uninterrupted fashion during casting at a desired point along the length of the casting bed.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for casting a concrete product using two or more different grades of concrete mix, in which method predetermined amounts of different grades of concrete mix are delivered at appropriate instants into the feeder hopper of the slip-form casting machine.
