Abstract

Concrete elements and a lifting mechanism are secured against tilting at the time of form removal, and the formwork is fixed in place. In the apparatus, a forming unit, a concreting unit and a form removal unit are provided. The forming unit has a single rigid form adapted to shape the bottom and the sides of the elements or products, is open on top and is assembled for use as required. The form removal unit has means for maintaining the product and the removal unit itself in a fixed position against tilting, as well as means for maintaining the formwork in a fixed position, and means for actuating them.
