Multi clamp for LOGO-formwork

Steinach (Baden, Germany): The PASCHAL-Werk G. Maier GmbH, service provider and manufacturer in the field of concrete system formwork, presents a new development: The Multi clamp. It was developed for all LOGO-formwork systems: The LOGO.3, the LOGO-Alu and the many LOGO-1 elements that are still used in the market today.

The standard connection panel

... for the LOGO system is the PASCHAL-taper clamp. The clamp weighs just 1.6 kg and is sturdy and easy to handle. The mechanism can be opened or closed with just one strike of the hammer and is used to clamp two formwork elements firmly together. 

Compensation elements important

To adapt the formwork to the exact construction dimensions, all that is needed are the variously sized formwork elements, and if necessary narrow and very narrow fitting and compensation elements.
Wherever a compensation element is placed between two formwork elements, it needs a connection piece that holds these three parts together.

New

The new MULTI CLAMP holds the compensation elements tightly in position between the formwork elements that are up to 12 centimetres wide. It creates tension that is transferred to the jaws thereby clamping the formwork elements tightly to the compensation element. This secure fit means perfect tightness is achieved.

The MULTI CLAMP weighs 5.3 kg and is easy to handle on the building site.

Good to know:

Not for PASCHAL, but for many other formwork systems, residual dimensional compensation is required on site. The inaccuracy of the formwork here means extra time, material and costs for the customer although he actually ordered extensive formwork. The compensation work usually comprises the thickness of a plank, however sometimes it can be up to 20 cm - an improvised, often time-consuming task requiring lots of hands because the material, which can usually only be used once, needs to be disposed of afterwards.

In contrast, PASCHAL offers system-integrated formwork solutions. The narrowest formwork elements only measure 20 centimetres, and there are compensation elements in widths of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 centimetres in PVC and in widths of 5, 6 and 10 centimetres in steel. These are placed between the formwork elements. Therefore the new PASCHAL-MULTI CLAMP is an important accessory that it is hard to imagine doing without on the building site.

When will the Multi clamp be available?

Production began at March 2009 - the market launch has therefore just started.
