Panel connection
Depending on whether
the AluFix-panel with
double groove (see
page AF-4) or single
AF
groove (see page AF-5)
is used, the EA- or the
E-assembly lock has to
be used. Both allow
for a fast and efficient
connection of the
panels, no matter if the
panels are assembled
side by side or on top
of each other. The lock
can be attached on the
frame at any position,
and its 5-point contact
(EA-assembly lock;
Fig. 7.2), or 3-point
contact (E-assembly
lock; Fig. 7.3) does not
only draw together the
panels, it also aligns
them (Fig. 7.1). Since the
lock weighs only 1,5 kg
or 0,8 kg it can be easily
attached with one hand.
Three assembly locks per
panel joint are sufficient
for the 3,00 m high
panels. Two assembly
locks per panel joint are
sufficient for the 2,64 m
and 1,32 m high panels.

and columns other
configurations are valid

21 be inclined.
On sloping formwork the
articulated flange nuts
15/120 have to be used.
These flange nuts can be
easily installed by using
a hammer (Fig. 9.2) or a
Fig. 9.1 spanner SW 27. In order
to secure the formwork
against uplift it has to be
tied to the ground.
Please note
If two panels of different
width are assembled side
by side, the ties should
always be placed through
the panel with the larger
width (Fig. 9.3).
When using Uni-tie claws,
the ties can be placed
at the outside edge of
the panels, for example
when forming stop ends,
or directly above the
panels when forming
foundations.

Transport:
When unloading the
truck and moving
piles of panels on the
construction site take
care to use appropriate
crane slings or the like.
Assembly:
Erect the first panel and
immediately attach a
push-pull prop or brace
(Fig. 33.1). Anchor the
brace to the ground in
order to prevent the
Fig.33.1
panel from tilting over.
Erect further panels and
connect them to each
other with assembly locks
(see pages AF 7 and
AF 8).

Assembly and stripping (step-by-step)
Closing of formwork
After the reinforcement
is installed you can start
to close the formwork.
After the ties have been
installed the opposite
side of the formwork is
secured against tilting
over (Fig. 34.1).
However, for this side
you may not necessarily
need braces.
1. Insert the ties through
the first formwork equal
to the required wall
thickness.
2. Install spacer cones
and PVC sleeves over
the ties.
3. Lift and move the
second formwork into
place.
4. Push the ties through
the second formwork
and secure them on both
sides with flange nuts.
5. When using systems
without spacers apply Fig. 34.1
Z-bars to ensure a con-
stant wall thickness.
Pouring
Watch rate of pouring
and observe DIN 4235
part 2 when pouring
(see also page AF-10).

until the concrete has
set to the point where it

cannot deform anymore.
1. Remove planking of

2. Remove scaffolding
brackets.
3. Remove ties.
4. Remove panels.
If stripping is done by

from the wall and place
