Alsina Catalogue Alumecano English

This product brochure summarizes the Alumecano reusable formwork system. It features an aluminum main girder and dropheads that are approximately 50% lighter than competitors' systems. The drophead is reinforced aluminum, making it both lighter and more resistant to weather exposure during construction. The main parts are designed for daily construction use and are coated in weather-resistant paint to protect them from bad weather. The "T" shape of the girder facilitates easy removal of the form boards and prevents grout from falling inside. The system uses girders, support girders, and a new drophead made of structural aluminum, which makes the system light and durable to support formwork surfaces. It allows construction of waffle

Alumecano

Bolivia 33 building, Spain

Features

• The 13’-1 1/4” (4m) main girder together with the Dropheads have
a combined weight of 55 pounds (25 Kg), (approximately 50%
lower than other similar systems on the market).
• The Cantilevered Drophead is made from reinforced aluminium,
with the dual benefits of making it lighter, and more resistant to
the exposure of the build.
• The main parts have been designed for daily use on the build
and are made from highly resistant steel, coated in polyes-
ter based paint that protects from bad weather. The parts are
sealed off at both ends to protect them from residual concrete.
• The design of the Girder in “T” shape facilitates the removal
of the board and helps prevent the grout of the concrete from
falling inside the Beam.
Alsina Systems - Mecanoconcept

Re-usable formwork system for making waffle slabs with permanent coffer, one-way concrete beams and
solid slabs. Alumecano only uses 3 basic components (Girder, Support Girder and Drop head) including
the revolutionary new Drop head made of duralumin (structural aluminum), which makes it light and re-
sistant for the support of the formwork surface. The Support Girders and Main Girders are fixed together
semi-rigidly, facilitating assembly and form release.

The wood lined Cantilevered Drophead adds support of 1 5/8” (4 cm) The Cantilevered Drophead is fitted with a system that cushions the
to the Alisan Panel. The wood inlay can then be easily nailed and fall (rubber plugs), and a standard, predictable drop direction, making
unnailed to the panel, preventing it from moving. This is especially the form release process much safer.
useful for the panels on the edge , and in other risk areas. Our Drop-
heads works always supported on 2 sides: a Post-shore on one side
and a perforated Girder by the pin of the Drop Head on the other.

Working with 6’-6 3/4” (2 m) wide corridors avoids the typical problems Three days after concreting, the System allows for a significant part
that other fixed 6’-6 3/4” x 6’-6 3/4” (2 m x 2 m) grid systems have, when of the Alumecano kit, Panels and Props, to be recovered and re-
finishing off meeting points with columns and walls. used elsewhere on the build, without the need for replacing all of
the original Props.
