Framax Xlife panel in detail

High load-bearing capacity Clean concrete surfaces with the
innovative Xlife sheet
The Xlife sheet consists of a combination of a tradi-
tional plywood core and a novel and innovative
plastic coating.
This combination of materials ensures high numbers of
repeat uses, with superb concrete results every time,
and reduces the proneness to damage.
● High quality concrete finish
● Less touching-up needed
● Less cleaning work - the Xlife sheet can also be
cleaned using a high-pressure spray cleaner
● No breaking away of plywood chips, and less water
is absorbed through nail-holes
● Because the Xlife sheet is screwed on from the rear,
this leaves no screw imprints on the concrete

and powder-coated steel frame

CAUTION
There is a risk of the formwork tipping over in
high winds.
➤ If high wind speeds are likely, and when
work finishes for the day or before prolonged
work-breaks, always take extra precautions
to fix the formwork in place.
Suitable precautions:
- set up the opposing formwork
- place the formwork against a wall
- anchor the formwork to the ground

The stacks must always be of panels of equal width.
The top layers may also consist of "half-width" pan-

be held by at least two round slings and that no "gaps"
may be left open between panels.
It is forbidden to transport stacks where the edges of
the panels are not all in alignment!

The four round slings of the transport gear hold the
stack together on all four sides, in such a way that it is
impossible for individual panels to slip out.
Advantages:
● Spring-loaded slinging hooks reach from underneath
into the beads of the panel frame and prevent the
transport gear accidentally detaching itself when the
cable tension slackens.
● The automatic length compensation feature of the
Framax transport gear ensures that the load is dis-
tributed evenly.
● The Framax transport gear can easily be suspended
and detached by just one person working on their
own.
● There is no need for anti-slippage protection using
Framax stacking cones here.

2 positions:
● As a basic rule, use Position (a).
- Advantage: more headroom on the platform.
● For formwork of 5.40m to 6.30m in height, where
the basic panel height is 2.70m:
Use Position (b).

Before crane-lifting the gang-form, check that

the lifting waler has been correctly mounted to
the platform waling (2 bolts, each secured by
a linch pin).

☞ Gang-forms larger than15 m2 (approx.

1600 kg) require a pressure bracing (Scaffold
tube 48.3mm) to be fitted between the lifting
walers.
The couplers needed for this are integrated
onto the lifting waler.

Striking and repositioning the panels

Before lifting: Remove any loose items from the form-
work and platforms, or secure them firmly.

WARNING
The formwork tends to adhere to the concrete.
When stripping the formwork, do not try to
break concrete cohesion using the crane!
Risk of crane overload.
➤ Use suitable tools such as timber wedges or
a special pry-bar to detach the formwork
from the concrete.
➤ Lift the gang-form to its new location (guide with tag-
lines if necessary).

Design of column formwork

Erecting and striking the formwork
Erecting:
➤ Pre-assemble the formwork-halves flat on the
ground.
➤ Secure the first formwork-half with panel struts
before detaching it from the crane.
➤ Join the second formwork-half to the first half of the
formwork, then detach it from the crane.
Striking:
➤ First attach the formwork-half that is without panel
struts to the crane. Then undo the connection
between the formwork-halves, hoist the second
formwork-half out of the way and set it down flat for
intermediate storage.
➤ Attach the formwork-half that is with panel struts to
the crane. Take out the ground anchors of the panel
struts and reposition this half of the formwork.

☞ ● To achieve exact plumbing & aligning of the

column formwork, the best arrangement of

● Always attach panel struts to free-standing

Key data of structure:

Inside radius [cm]: 580

Outside radius [cm]: 600

Permitted deviation from circular arc [cm]: 1.0

Length of concreting section [cm]: 911 (1/4 of the inside circumference)

Width of panel:
● Determine the max. panel width in the radius segment diagram, with reference to the radius
Panel width = 60 cm
of the structure and the permitted deviation from the circular arc.

Width of circular forming plates for inside formwork:

● As a general rule, use the Circular forming plate 0.20m with the inside formwork. Width of circular forming plate = 20 cm

Number of circular forming plates and panels for inside formwork:

● ( Length of concreting section - panel width ) ÷ ( Panel width + 20 ) = ... ( 911 - 60 ) / ( 60 + 20 ) = 10.64

● Number of circular forming plates = Rounded-up result Number of circular forming plates = 11

● Number of panels = Number of circular forming plates + 1 Number of panels = 12

Widths of circular forming plates, and numbers needed for outside formwork:
● ( Outside radius ÷ inside radius ) · ( Panel width + 20 ) - Panel width = ... ( 600 ÷ 580 ) · ( 60 + 20 ) - 60 = 22.76 cm
Width of "Type A" Circular forming plate =

Cleaning and care of your equipment

The high-grade powder-coating of the frame and the
special coating of the Xlife sheet greatly reduce the Cleaning equipment
amount of cleaning needed.
High-pressure spray cleaner
Cleaning The special coating of the Xlife sheet also makes it pos-
Immediately after pouring sible for the sheet to be cleaned with a high-pressure
spray cleaner.
➤ Remove any blobs of concrete from the back-face of
the formwork, using water (without any added sand).
Immediately after striking the formwork
➤ Clean the formwork with a high-pressure spray
cleaner and a scraper.
Cleaning high formwork:
Provide a service tower at a suitable cleaning
location.
● Wheel-around scaffold DF
(up to a formwork height of 4.20 m)
● Doka mobile scaffold tower Z
(up to a formwork height of 6.70 m)
● Load-bearing tower Staxo 40
(for formwork of over 6.70 m in height) 9764-278-01

Observe the following points:

● Appliance pressure rating: 200 to max. 300 bar
● Keep the water-jet the correct distance from the
formwork, and move it at the right speed:
- The higher the pressure, the further away from the
formwork you must keep the jet and the faster you
must move it across the surface.
● Make only moderate use of the jet around the sili-
cone sealing strip:
- If the pressure is too high, this will damage the sil-
icone sealing strip.
- Do not aim the jet at one place for too long.

using a Double scraper Xlife and a spatula. ● No hammer-blows to the frame profiles

This prevents the formwork sheets from being dam-

aged by the connector components.
Release agents
Before every pour
➤ Apply release agent to the formwork sheet and the
end faces extremely thinly, evenly and in a contin-
uous layer (make sure there are no traces of
release-agent running down the formwork sheet)!
Applying too much release agent will spoil the con-
crete finish.
To determine the right dosage and to make
sure that you are using the agent correctly, test
it on less important parts of the structure first.
