Chonburi Concrete Products PCL (CCP) Thailand, relies on the Slipformer S-Liner® from Echo Precast Engineering for their production of hollow core slabs. One of the seven companies belonging to the PROGRESS GROUP, Echo Precast Engineering is a leading global specialist equipment supplier to the precast industry. CCP are predominantly using the new Slipformer S-Liner® to produce hollow core slabs, which are mainly used for flooring applications. The Slipformer S-Liner® enables them to produce the 1200mm wide slabs in a range of thicknesses, including 8, 10, 12, 15, 20 and 25 cm, and in lengths ranging from 1 to 10 metres.

CCP uses the Slipformer S-Liner® to produce hollow core slabs ranging from 1 to 10 metres in length and in thicknesses from 80mm to 250mm.

Mr Chayakorn Srinual, Plant Manager and Mr Nora Saengsa-ngasri, Assistant Vice President of Production supervised the installation of the new machine.

The precast elements are used for a wide variety of projects including factories, large buildings, hospitals, hotels and schools, as well as in residential construction.

The new machine from Echo Precast Engineering provides the ideal solution for versatile, flexible production requirements to meet CCP’s requirement.
