A universal construction system integrated in one compact production line. This is the concept behindAcotec Combi, automated machinery for continuous prefabrication of concretewall modules and slabs. The equipment, from Acotec Ltd. in Finland, can be converted within less than 90 minutes to the production of all concrete elements necessary to build a house frame. Only three to four men are required to operate the machinery which has a maximum capacity of 80 m2 concrete elements per hour.

The German company Estelit will startlarge scale prefabrication of light-weight concrete elements for partitionwall panels. By installing a highlyautomated production line from FinnishAcotec, the Dülmen based building firmexpects both to lower costs and to beable to target new customer segmentson the German market.
