In this process high slump concrete(highly flowing concrete) is poured in to the rubber moulds and compacted in vibro forming vibrating tables. The moulds with green concrete are kept for initial strength gaining for 8-12 hours over flat plate. Then the cast concrete tiles are stripped out from the rubber moulds. This wet tiles are then kept in controlled atmosphere for 3 days for further sfstrength gaining. Polyurethane or varnish coatings can be applied for added attractiveness & wear resistance. By handling carefully the rubber moulds can be reused more than 500 times after washing.Attractive long lasting colour faces can be formed by pouring white cement concrete with colour pigments first and then regular gray concrete next, economically with two layers. The high slump face concrete mix is to be mixed in seperate exclusive tile mixer.The base gray concrete mix can be mixed with another tile mixer or regular drum type concrete mixer.Any architectural design(natural stone, wood grains etc.) can be duplicated in the tile face with the rubber moulds. The tiles of various thickness with rich colour & design add attractive, long lasting richness to interior, exterior floorings and wall face.
![]() Rubber Moulds ![]() Cement Tiles
Concrete tiles of any shape, colours, surface design can be produced. The special plastic mould with required texture like wood, stone and finish like matt or glossy which are in the moulds are duplicated in the tile.The required mould is kept on Vibratory Table filled with cement mixture and vibrated. It is kept with mould for initial setting. Then demoulded for curing. |
