Prima 360: next-level wetcast automation platform
Afinitas, leading global infrastructure equipment and services company, has launched a platform of wetcast automation systems aimed at helping precast concrete producers enhance productivity, reduce labor issues and increase throughput to get products to market faster.
The platform, named Prima 360, leverages a wide range of technologies developed in-house by Afinitas to provide automation that works for all types of factory layouts, product requirements, including polymer products, and budgets. The systems are backed by the strength of the Afinitas’ global technical team and service support.
The Prima 360 platform includes:
Prima, Afinitas’ signature wetcast system for high volume production of nearly any infrastructural product. With its state-of-the-art production loop, automatic inventory management system and realtime analytics, Prima brings assembly line efficiency to wetcast production. Prima’s highly optimized workstations reduce labor and increase throughput. In addition, Prima simplifies planning and provides all the metrics needed to optimize processes at every level of production.
Prima Fit, as the name suggests, is wetcast automation that scales to fit producer requirements. It’s a powerful, yet economical option that utilizes vertical product stacking to maximize floor space. In addition, Prima Fit can be easily configured to produce specialty precast structures that would require extra space and set up time on other systems.
Prima Base is an intuitive design software for creating limitless channel flow options for monolithic manhole bases. Prima Base transforms the labor-intensive, inconsistent traditional methods of producing monolithic manhole bases using an intelligent digital configurator and precision EPS milling system. It helps producers increase output and quality while minimizing rework.
Prima Scape draws upon decades of BFS vibration technology to help producers create visually appealing and mechanically precise slabs, pavers, veneers and more. With one automated system, producers can create reproductions of natural stones, slate, granite or terracotta in exact laying units for flooring, pool and fountain slabs, patios, deck slabs and other residential and commercial applications.
