Framed formwork Framax Xlife

Framed formwork Framax Xlife

Very cost-effective, thanks to high number of re-use cycles

For crane-assisted gang-forming of large areas

Framax Xlife is the framed formwork system that uses only a very few different panel formats to achieve a consistent 15 cm increment-grid, no matter whether the panels are stood upright or on their sides. All the connectors and accessories fit seamlessly into this grid – making for fast forming-times and high efficiency.

Fast

due to the low form-tie count

Short forming-times and lower labour costs, achieved by

  • wide spacing (up to 1.35 m) between form-ties

  • ease of handling, with the logical system grid

  • optimum adaptability to every layout

Strong

because of its rugged components

The system for the very toughest requirements:

  • rugged frame construction

  • optimised connectors and accessories

  • 21mm Xlife sheet with force-orientated structure

  • fresh-concrete pressure up to 80 kN/m²

Reliable

thanks to superior product quality

Highly economical, thanks to

  • its plastic-coated Xlife sheet for long service life

  • its hot-dip galvanised and powder-coated steel frames

  • the fact that the Xlife sheet is so easy to clean and recondition

  • optimised, ergonomically designed safety products

Framax Xlife

  • The ingeniously co-ordinated panel formats let you get the greatest possible use out of the formwork
  • The 15 cm grid, achieved with only 5 widths and 3 heights, simplifies planning, forming operations and logistics on the site
  • The frames come with practical cross boreholes, for stop-ends, corners and columns
  • The rugged galvanised steel frames ensure plane, even concrete faces

Framax Xlife sheet

  • Extremely high numbers of re-use cycles with superlative concreting results, for unparalleled cost efficiency and fewer changes of form-facing
  • No burst-off plywood chips, and less water absorbed through nail-holes, for longer service life
  • Special surface structure for less touching-up and reduced close-out costs
  • Timber-plastic composite sheet that can also be cleaned using a high-pressure washer

Framax ex­tra-large pan­els 240 cm x 270 cm and 240 cm x 330 cm

  • For large-area formwork units, meaning fewer inter-panel connections and short repositioning times
  • Both panels can be used facing one another in the upright
  • The large-area elements are especially suitable for producing fair-faced concrete

Clo­sures

With its 15 cm clamping range, the Framax multi-function clamp matches the panel size-grid exactly. This means that often only one closure per wall plane will be needed.

Sin­gle-sid­ed ties

This ergonomically comfortable option for manipulating the ties from just one side of the formwork saves time and shortens the forming-times even further. Available for standard and extra-large panels.

Shaft formwork with Strip­ping corn­er I

The Framax stripping corner I was designed specifically for use with shaft formwork. It enables the formwork to be set up and stripped in accordance with accident protection regulations, i.e. without using the crane, simply by operating easy-to-turn spindles with a reinforcement rod or the convenient ratchet.

It is then lifted and reset in one piece, thus saving crane-time. The Framax stripping corner I is also suitable for use on pilasters and as an inside corner on wall formwork.

Uni­ver­sal pan­el SCC

This makes it possible to place self-compacting concrete (SCC) by pumping it into the formwork from below: It can be used for both walls and stop-ends.

For operating the lifting hook safely from ground level, for plumbing and aligning the formwork and for pulling out double-headed nails

Ty­ing

The wide form-tie spacing of up to 1.35 m delivers huge cost-savings.

The large, conical form-tie sleeves in the panels enable them to be stood at an angle on one or both sides, and to be height-mismatched.

In­te­grat­ed wal­ing sys­tem

Connector-rails across the entire width of the panel make quick and easy work of attaching accessories like panel struts, universal walings and pouring platforms, with no obligatory fixing points.

Joining, vertical stacking and end-shuttering

Join­ing

A blow of the hammer is all it takes to join the elements. This makes for fast working, with no need for any additional tools.

Ver­ti­cal stack­ing

Up to a panel height of 5.40 m, the panels can be stacked using Framax multi-function clamps only, with no need for universal walings. Simply tightening the multi-function clamp against the frame profile provides a self-aligning inter-panel connection.

Uni­ver­sal wal­ings

provide improved rigidity, particularly on taller vertically stacked gangs. This also makes it possible for large gang-forms to be crane-lifted into the upright or set down by crane.

End-shut­ter­ing

The special hole-grid in Framax Xlife universal panels makes them ideally suitable for cost-saving forming of outside corners, wall junctions, stop-ends and columns.

Corn­ers and junc­tions

Corners at any angle, stop-ends and T-junctions can all be formed swiftly and dependably using the inside corners, hinged corners and versatile Universal panel from the Framax "construction kit". This is the way to avoid costly field-built solutions.

Safe pour­ing

The wide working platforms make work both faster and safer. Framax pouring platforms can be unfolded very quickly and slotted into place ready for pouring to begin.
