Prefabricated Mold for Whole House

The prefabricated mold for whole house is a molding equipment for concrete prefabricated parts used in factory-prefabricated integral concrete houses. It has evolved from traditional large steel building formwork and features high efficiency and reusability.

Core Components and Working Principle
The core components of the prefabricated mold for whole house include the mold inner liner, exterior wall mold, base, and slide rails, among others. The mold typically weighs over 20 tons and requires strict adherence to safety operation procedures. Its working principle involves forming a casting cavity through mold opening and closing. After concrete is poured into the cavity, steam curing is applied to accelerate the hardening process. This design enables the prefabrication of concrete components in a factory setting, avoiding the complexity of on-site construction while improving the consistency of component quality.

Technological Upgrade History
The mold has undergone four generations of technological upgrades:

• First Generation: Simple structure and basic functions, suitable for the prefabrication of early concrete houses.
• Second Generation: Enabled the molding of vertical walls, enhancing the three-dimensional structural capabilities of components.
• Third Generation: Supported multi-size adjustments to accommodate different housing specifications, significantly increasing flexibility.
• Fourth Generation: Adopted a fully automatic hydraulic system and integrated electric vibration functions, further improving production efficiency and component density.

Performance Parameters and Service Life
The mold can be reused for approximately 5-8 years, with the actual lifespan depending on usage frequency and maintenance conditions. The prefabricated wall thickness ranges from 14-17 cm, and the slab thickness ranges from 10-13 cm, meeting the needs of different structural strengths. By prefabricating components in a centralized manner, construction periods can be significantly shortened, making it particularly suitable for large-scale housing production.

Market Brands and Prices
There are multiple brands and types of prefabricated molds for whole houses on the market, such as Zhongmin, Chengfan Manufacturing, Langda, Hengqi, Yuanmao Molds, Hongxiang, Chaoming, etc. Prices vary by brand, specification, and region:

• The price of an integral gatehouse mold in Baoding, Hebei, is 360.00 yuan per set.
• The price of an assembled building cement house steel mold for villa houses in Shanghai is 80,000 yuan per set.
• The price of a prefabricated house mold independently developed by Haitian Electromechanical starts at 5,000.00 yuan per piece.

Application Value
The prefabricated mold for whole house reduces wet operations and labor dependency in on-site construction through factory-based production, lowering environmental pollution and safety risks. Its standardized and modular design philosophy makes housing construction more efficient and cost-effective, aligning with the development trend of modern building industrialization.
