Prensoland manufactures block making machines and hollow core slabs machinery since 1959. Over the years, the company has developed its technology to fulfil market demands and the needs of customers. More info to http://www.prensoland.com
2. With half a century of history, Prensoland is a leading edge
technology company which develope machinery for manufacturing
precast and prestressed concrete. Their machines incorporate the
latest technology and are characterized by their tough construction,
excellent production quality, minimum maintenance, versatility
and very high efficiency.
All Prensoland’s machines are exported to over 80 countries around
the world, and they are adapted to trends and architectural needs of
the moment, providing solutions with a wide range of possibilities.
Let’s get to know the history of our company and our machine
TENSYLAND, which has been perfectly adapted to the continuous
demands of the market.
3. 1959
Prensoland was founded in Sant Martí de Centelles, a town
located to 50 km from Barcelona, in a region with a deep textile
and metallurgical tradition. The company comes from a small
workshop that was commissioned to develop three presses to
manufacture precast concrete products, in order to be used in
construction.
That’s how Prensoland designed the first press’ prototype,
exceeding all technique expectations. It was such a big success
that its creators decided to jump right into the field of precast
concrete. The first press manufactured was the G2-25, a very
manual model that required two people to be managed. It was
marketed until 1970, mainly exported to America.
4. 1970
After a decade of activity, Prensoland began to develop the
installations for the production of prestressed beams and hollow
core slabs. The company acquired the patent of Tensyland
molding, which optimized very soon to manufacture six beams
instead of two. Also, Prensoland incorporated the revolutionary
finishing mould change system. With the later model S-77, the
finishing mould is incorporated in the machine, the monorail
crane system on the roof and wire tensioning, getting more speed.
Different versions and special models of S-77 were manufactured
(producing up to twelve beams).
In 1970, the presses to manufacture blocks Compacta 600 and
laying machines came. Later on, in 1977, the press Compacta
2000 Sprint came.
5. 1980
The Serie 80 model was a great evolution for Tensyland molding.
The dosing overhead hopper was incorporated to feed, which
provided an increase in molding quality and a compacter final
result. The height of the machine was also increased, the mold was
extended to 9 beams and was equipped with a winder for the power
cable.
Upon entering into the French market, automation was
incorporated to make the exposed wires system and crantage
technique (top or side marking), which provides a relief to the
beam, suitable in the production of beams for seismic zones.
6. 1990
Tensyland Series 90 appeared with its main innovation in
the vibration system, to be located at the rear of the machine,
allowing to achieve a greater compaction of the concrete and
considerable savings in cement. Controlling plasticity according
to Abrams’ cone system, concrete’s settlement went from 5-7 cm
to 0-2 cm. Using less cement we obtained more strength. This
technological breakthrough brought higher quality, specially
in the manufacture of hollow core slabs. The model was a
great success, exported to England, France, Belgium, Italy and
Portugal.
In 1991 the first Compact 3000 press also appeared.
7. 2000
EV-5 appears with important innovations, such as increasing the
height of the chassis, facilitating cleaning and maintenance of the
machine. The mobile overhead hooper and its vibration system, the
system guides’ protection of the the wires and lateral closing system
of the molds are also optimized. Likewise, there are improvements
in the automatic safety system and the protection of the electrical
panel is reinforced to improve accessibility. The EV-5 model
manufactures hollow core slabs up to 50 cm high and beams up to
30 cm.
In 1999 Prensoland also developed the Eurocompacta new press,
fully automated and equipped with the latest technology to get high
production with minimum maintenance.
8. 2013
The EV-6 model has modified some aspects of the machine to
meet the current needs of the growing markets such as Russia.
The most important change is the expansion of the machine
to manufacture slabs up to 1 meter and a half of width, and
increasing production and versatility of the products. Also,
the cable traction method is complemented by an own traction
system.
All these innovations are the result of a relentless spirit of
improvement and research. Moreover, they are the key to
Prensoland’s success, a company that is perfectly suited to
market needs and technological environment. Currently, the R &
D is working on new models of Tensyland molding machine and
Compacta presses.
