Machine foundation

WPE DiaTec Cast is an extremely high-strength UHPC material. For more than 15 years WPE DiaTec producs are used around the world in many different industrial sectors such as cement plants, power plants, iron/steel plants and mining industry as wear protection and industrial floor material or foundation and anchoring systems for the offshore industry. WPE DiaTec products are developed and produced by us.

As for the preparation of machine foundations of any kind for extreme areas, WPE DiaTec Cast products are ideal.

The advantages compared to all other standard material for machine foundations are

A very high surface quality. With WPE DiaTec an accuracy of 0.1 mm can be achieved from the mold when using appropriate molds. The accuracy can be increased to 0.005 mm by looping.
Very high compressive strength
Very good vibration damping properties compared to cast steel constructions
Thermal properties such as:

- Applicable up to 400 ° C

- High thermal shock resistance

- Inertia in the heat transport

- Low thermal expansion

Extreme fluidity. WPE DiaTec Cast also flows into the finest gaps.
Extreme adhesion to cast fastening and anchoring element.
Very good corrosion resistance
Due to the high strength development, material thickness and material weights can be calculated considerably low.
WPE DiaTec Cast precast parts can be demoulded after 24 hours and reached after 48 hours more than 70% of their ultimate strength.
Faster delivery times
Reduced costs
