Precast Floor & Roof Slab Moulds

Steel Moulds for Precast Floor and Roof Slabs

Project-specific steel mould systems developed around your slab geometry, production arrangement and factory requirements.

  • Designed around the finished slab
  • Fixed or movable production arrangements
  • Adjustable details where required
A slab photo, approximate dimensions or an early drawing is enough to start.

Start with the finished component

What slab do you plan to produce?

Floor and roof describe where the slab will be used. The mould itself is defined by the slab geometry, project details and production process.

Precast floor slab during production, handling or installation
Precast floor slabsFor structural floor elements produced to project-defined dimensions, edges, openings and lifting requirements.
Precast roof slab during production, handling or installation
Precast roof slabsFor roof elements whose geometry, interfaces, drainage details and handling requirements are defined by the project.

The application alone does not determine the mould. A floor slab and a roof slab may use a similar production arrangement. We review the actual component before recommending the mould direction.

What defines the mould

The slab details come before the mould mechanism

The same basic slab can require a different mould when its dimensions, edges, openings, cast-in items or release method change.

A slab photo, approximate dimensions or an early drawing is enough to start.

  • Slab type and geometryApplication, length, width, thickness, cross-section and the required range of variants.
  • Edges, openings and cast-in itemsProfiles, recesses, penetrations, sockets, plates, lifting anchors and their reference positions.
  • Casting and releaseVisible face, concrete placement, curing, demoulding and lifting direction.
  • Factory processAvailable space, handling equipment, station sequence and target production cycle.
Project fit

Built for repeat precast production in a factory

This page covers project-specific steel mould systems—not finished slab supply, site formwork or small paving moulds.

01

Defined slab family

You have a known component type, initial dimensions or a related range of slab variants.

02

Repeatable details

Edges, openings and cast-in items need controlled positioning across repeated production.

03

Factory production

Casting, curing, release, lifting and stacking must work as one production sequence.

Specialised slab system? Hollow-core extrusion, double-tee, half-slab, lattice-girder and prestressed long-line production require a separate technical review. Tell us the exact slab type so we can confirm whether this mould scope applies.

Production arrangements

Choose how the slab will move through production

The first decision is whether the casting surface remains at one station or moves between production stages.

Fixed horizontal casting table for precast slab production
Fixed casting tableThe casting surface stays at a defined station while preparation, casting, curing and lifting are organised around it.
  • Stable slab families
  • Defined casting and lifting access
  • Factory space organised around the table
Movable production pallet for precast slab production
Movable production palletThe casting surface moves between defined preparation, casting, curing or release stations.
  • Planned travel route and positioning
  • Station and utility interfaces
  • Handling and safety sequence

Mould customisation

Add only the functions your slab requires

These functions are reviewed after the slab family and production arrangement are understood.

01

Adjustable side and end forms

For approved dimensional changes within a related slab family.

02

Replaceable inserts

For openings, recesses, sockets, plates and other local details.

03

Hydraulic functions

Reviewed where powered opening, lifting or adjustment supports the agreed operating sequence.

Engineering, fabrication, surface finishing, assembly and inspection are connected around the approved mould scope.
Engineering and manufacturing

Turn the slab requirements into a manufacturable mould

Realjet connects process review, mechanical design, steel fabrication, mechanical or hydraulic integration, workshop assembly and inspection.

Final dimensions, tolerances, functions, interfaces and delivery boundaries are confirmed in the approved project documents before manufacturing.

Why Realjet

One team connects the slab, the mould and the manufacturing route

A custom slab mould is not just a welded steel structure. Its geometry, operating sequence, fabricated parts and acceptance requirements must work together.

Drawing-led engineering

Slab geometry, production constraints and available drawings are reviewed before the mould scope is defined.

Robotic welding of fabricated steel components at Realjet

Connected fabrication

Cutting, forming, welding, machining and surface treatment are coordinated around the approved mould design.

Machining and assembly work for steel equipment components at Realjet

Integrated assembly

Structural parts, adjustable details and mechanical or hydraulic interfaces are brought together for workshop assembly.

Inspection against the scope

Critical dimensions, interfaces, finish and final condition are checked against the agreed project documents before release.

From enquiry to proposal

Start with what you already know

You do not need to select the mould mechanism before contacting us.

  1. STEP 01

    Show the slab

    Send a component photo, approximate dimensions or an available drawing.

  2. STEP 02

    Review the production process

    We discuss variants, openings, casting, release, handling and factory constraints.

  3. STEP 03

    Confirm the mould scope

    Drawings, functions, interfaces and delivery boundaries are confirmed before manufacturing.

Frequently asked questions

Questions before you send an enquiry

Start with a photo, dimensions or a drawing. The detailed mould scope can be developed during the technical review.

Can one mould produce different slab sizes?

Related sizes may be covered with adjustable side forms, end forms or stops within an approved slab family. The practical range depends on the slab geometry, openings, inserts and production method.

Can the mould include openings and cast-in items?

Project-specific formers and positioning details can be reviewed for openings, recesses, sockets, plates and lifting anchors. Their location and release direction must be confirmed from the slab drawings.

Do I need complete slab drawings before contacting Realjet?

No. A component photo, approximate dimensions or an early drawing can start the discussion. Approved technical documents are required before final design and manufacturing.

Should I use a fixed table or a movable pallet?

That depends on the slab family, output, factory layout, curing route, handling equipment and station sequence. We review the production process before recommending an arrangement.

Can hydraulic functions be included?

Hydraulic opening, lifting or adjustment can be reviewed where it supports the agreed load and operating sequence. The final scope depends on safety, controls, interfaces and maintenance requirements.

Is this page for hollow-core or prestressed slab production?

Not by default. Hollow-core extrusion, slipforming and prestressed long-line production follow specialised production routes. Share the exact slab type and process so the required equipment scope can be reviewed separately.
