ULMA's CC-4 Horizontal Aluminum Slab Formwork System

CC-4 is a recoverable formwork system. Its elements are built in aluminum, so the system is lightweight and provides an excellent finish.

The CC-4 formwork system is mainly for non-residential building (large surface areas) with a good finishing surface, where geometry and distance between columns is regular.

Basic Components of CC-4 system

Structure made up of components like Drophead, Beam CC and Transversal CC TE.
Shuttering face made up of CC panels (Plywood fitted within Aluminum frame).
Support System made Aluprop (Aluminum Props) or EP Prop (Galvanized European Props).

Important Characteristics of CC-4

Most system elements are manufactured in aluminum, and some elements are plastic, thus this is a very lightweight formwork.
Very low number of props required per m2. This makes it possible to use larger sections of profile, and increase the distance between props.
This formwork stripping system is designed to facilitate the recovery of material without permitting any of it to fall to the ground-achieved by “drophead” system. This helps to increased worker safety and reduces material deterioration.
The drophead and the prop function as the remaining elements.
The system permits prior assembly of the grid and thereafter placement of the panels.
Great versatility which enables to change beam direction; one beam can be installed at a 90º angle to its adjacent beam.
Head automatically fastens to the props via a mechanical hook.
Easy to adjust height and to level the formwork because of few props used in setup.
Simple and safe solution for cantilevers.
High efficiency of assembly and disassembly. Quick framing and stripping is the unique criterion of this system.
