Frequently Asked Questions
What applications are AVENCO concrete extruder systems used for?
AVENCO concrete extruder systems are used for a wide range of applications including building and construction projects, wall production, on-site printing, landscaping elements, and outdoor concrete furniture at various scales.
What is the difference between the 1K and 2K concrete extruders?
The 1K concrete extruder is designed for large-scale prints with longer layer times, featuring a lightweight structure and low maintenance requirements. The 2K concrete extruder includes an integrated servo motor and mixing system that enables faster curing, allowing layer times below 10 seconds and the production of more complex geometries.
Can the systems be used on-site?
Yes. AVENCO systems can be configured as fixed, crawler, or linear rail setups, making them suitable for both on-site applications and controlled production environments while adapting to different project requirements.
How is concrete prepared for the printing process?
A concrete batching plant must be set up on-site for printing operations. The system uses M-tec pumps to automatically dose materials, ensuring fresh and accurate concrete mixtures throughout the process.
What are the printing speeds and layer specifications?
AVENCO concrete extruder systems deliver extrusion capacities of up to 35 L/min. Layer heights can be adjusted between 5 and 30 mm, with maximum print speeds reaching up to 20,000 mm/min.
What advantages does this technology offer compared to traditional construction methods?
Robotic 3D concrete printing eliminates the need for formwork, reduces material waste, shortens production time, and improves worksite safety. It also enables the production of original, mold-free designs.
In which markets are AVENCO solutions used?
AVENCO solutions are managed through its headquarters in Istanbul and its branch office in Dubai, and are actively used in more than 40 countries across 6 continents.
Which robotic and automation infrastructures are the systems compatible with?
AVENCO solutions are designed to integrate with KUKA robotic systems, Beckhoff automation infrastructure, and advanced robotic CAM software solutions.
