Key takeaways
  • Forlab certifies block quality through compression and flexural tests on the actual material produced.
  • The FORLAB C150T tests compression on pavers and blocks; the FORLAB F250K and F10T test flexure on hollow-core slabs and kerbs.
  • The goal is to tailor the mix formula to each customer's real needs, not just verify it.

In this article, we explain why we believe your precast plant needs a Rometa laboratory (Forlab), and how to set one up.

Why do you need a Forlab laboratory?

At Rometa, we believe your block factory should have a laboratory that certifies the quality of the blocks you produce and helps you guarantee that quality to your customers.

How do we achieve it?

  • Conducting a study of the material and finding the mix formula that best suits the customer's needs.
  • Preparing concrete mixes to verify the strength they can withstand, using Forlab's laboratory and machines.
  • Continuously working and experimenting with the formula to improve product quality.

What equipment does Forlab offer?

At Forlab we provide laboratory equipment for sand and gravel testing, and for compression and flexural testing of concrete pieces:

  • Sand and gravel testing.
  • Compression test: FORLAB C150T, for pavers and blocks.
  • Flexural test: FORLAB F250K for hollow-core slabs and FORLAB F10T for kerbstones.
  • Tests for large concrete pieces, such as beams and pipes.

AUTOMATIC PIGMENT DOSING

Supplied in sets of 1, 2, 3 or 4 colors, each with its own sealed hopper of 0.5 m³, with no pigment mixing. A 50-litre weighing cart with three load cells measures each dose before discharging it onto the aggregate conveyor or skip. Dosing controlled from the control cabin, with less dust and less pigment loss.
