CONCRETE POLE MOLD


Get the right tool for the job.
Good mold produces good concrete poles.


Concrete Pole Moulds

HT Concrete Poles:-
        Length = 33ft = 10m
        Base = 310mm x 270mm
        Top  = 125mm x 125mm

LT Concrete Poles:-
        Length = 28ft = 8.4m
        Base size  = 280mm x 250mm
        Top size    = 125mm x 125mm

Base plates for concrete pole are made to suit the pole mould.
Necessary holes are put in place in the concrete pole mould.
The HT concrete pole moulds are made to be convertible, which means they can be used for either HT or LT concrete poles with little setting.
The customer can decide the type of bowl required short or long. While long ones save materials the short ones give more strength. Long ones are usually preferred by commercial clients.

Materials = 2mm m/s plate / 50 x 5mm thick angle

Calculate cost based on No of Mold and No of base plate.
Advise: Always consider 2 base to one mold. (see “how to”)

How to Use:
Concrete Pole Molds are fixed on base plates firmly as seen in the picture, after which concrete are poured. 
The concrete pole molds are loosened when the cast is set, which can be the following day or if the weather is right in the evening.
The concrete pole mold can then be used the next day on another base plate. Or same day, in the evening.
Therefore it is advisable for at least two base plates to be made per each pole mold set.
The molded pole is left on the base plate for 48hrs (2days) to be fully set before turned off.

Things you should know.

You need to determine the base size of your concrete pole as a pole maker, this depends on the sizes of concrete poles being produced or in use in your area. Some makers prefer the robust (310 x 270), while some prefer the slimmer (300 x 235). The slimmer it is the better for profit, but this could be judged as low quality when compared with other sizes in the market. The mold will be made to suit your need. Your concrete pole should be better than competitors’ while maintaining good profit.
A leveled ground is very important, especially when the concrete pole is off the base. If the ground is not level, the concrete pole will tend to take the shape of the floor while setting.
Adequate supply of water on the site is also very important. The concrete poles are watered frequently for about 21 days. Some even make a pool in which the poles are soaked for days after setting to give extra strength.
If order is much and time becomes an issue, then a heating chamber can be manufactured and trolley made for the base to give quick setting. With this more concrete poles can be made per day, concrete pole bases are more available and more quantities are sold off within shorter time.
Semi - automation or total automation is possible, after starting with manual, other necessary features shall be gradually put in place, if so desired.
we are designers and fabricators of equipment to suit your needs.

It is good to make adequate preparation before commencing the project. Issues of space should be well planned for space is necessary for - pole moulding area, pole storage while setting, pole storage post-setting, pool of water, Bole hole and surface water tank..
