Schnell and AWM: the ultimate solution for the precast industry
The Schnell Group is a world leader in automatic reinforcement processing machines, electro-welded mesh production, and management software for rebar shops.
With its ability to design and manufacture innovative products, the Schnell Group has over the years built up a complete range of machines capable of meeting all the requirements of industrial wire reinforcing processing.
With the acquisition of the company AWM, which has specialized in the design and manufacture of high-tech precast machinery for over 30 years, Schnell is now also present in the world of precast machinery and equipment.
The aim is to become one of the leading players in the sector offering the most modern and efficient reinforcement solutions for precasters:
Solid, sandwich and double walls: FLEXIWELD
It’s a flexible plant for the production of electro-welded mesh for the production of precast concrete elements.
Flexiweld is the perfect solution for precasters and mesh producers who need mesh for flat precast elements such as slabs and walls, mesh with holes and openings for doors and windows.
Girderflex is a just-in-time system for the production of electro-welded lattice girders with automatic height adjustment and top edge of the finished product.
Due to its extreme flexibility, Girderflex is ideal for precasters and suitable for the production of precast slabs and double precast panels.
Tunnel reinforcement: TNL
TNL is a ladder mesh welding machine for the production of curved or straight electro-welded ladders from coil and flat, straight or curved spacers, mainly used in precast tunnel segments reinforcing.
Its advanced technology guarantees perfect straight and curved ladders for precast with the lowest tolerances.
Columns, Beams, Lattice girders and Pillars
Schnell has a wide range of machinery and equipment for the precast industry, especially for the production of beams and columns.
The product range includes:
Complete production control: OPTIFLOW Software
The OPTIFLOW software allows production to be organised with the best possible logistics: process optimisation, handling and data input are automated, and the entire production phase is perfectly controlled by the software in the safest possible way.
Optiflow ensures:
• Greater efficiency: full automation makes production processes faster and more efficient.
• Increased productivity: automated machines can operate without interruption, increasing the overall productivity of the factory.
• Greater flexibility: fast solutions can be adapted to different production requirements.
• Increased safety: by reducing the need for direct human intervention, safety risks to employees are reduced.
• Labour savings: with fewer people required to monitor the process, labour costs are reduced.
• Better optimisation: “OPTIFLOW" software enables better optimisation of workflow and resource utilisation.
• Total factory control: automation and management software gives you total control over production and processes.
Cloud software for precasters and mesh producers: GRAFO MESH
Grafo Mesh is the ideal solution for the precast industry and producers of electro-welded mesh. It allows you to create and modify your projects quickly and easily, creating a personal archive of elements to be sent directly to the machine.
Why choose GrafoMesh?
- Maximum flexibility: to produce any type of mesh simply and flexibly.
- Instant verification: once the mesh has been created, the software verifies that it corresponds to the machine’s working capacity and, in the event of inconsistencies, highlights the errors so that the user can correct them immediately.
- Accessible anywhere: thanks to cloud technology, the software offers maximum flexibility and accessibility and can be used from anywhere, making it easy to work remotely.
- Easy to use: to create and save predefined templates to speed up and simplify your work; the editor is intuitive and also offers a convenient 3D project view.
