PERI India launches HANDSET Alpha - a lightweight panel formwork system
HANDSET Alpha is a modular panel formwork system suited for various walls and column applications. It is designed in such a way that all panels are multi-purpose, which means that they can be used in any direction. With two sizes in height and three sizes in width, all possible configurations are available to meet different pour height requirements with less unutilized formwork area. Hence, it is an efficient and economic system for construction site applications.
The formwork provides the highest flexibility in the construction of walls and different sizes of columns with optimal material utilization and easy handling by only two people. It meets all requirements with infills up to 30cm, 90º internal and external corners, T-junctions and stop-ends. It is designed for concrete pressure up to 60kN/m² for walls, 75 kN/m² for columns (up to 600mm x 600mm) and 60 kN/m² for columns (from 650mm x 650mm to 900mm x 900mm) according to DIN EN18218 (Evenness: line 6 in accordance with DIN EN18202). The panel is made of high-grade steel frames and 12mm ply with phenolic resin, which makes the system very robust and offers smooth concrete finish.
For 50 years, PERI products and systems have successfully proved themselves in the market, globally. For the HANDSET Alpha, the ideation, prototype, design and planning was done in India as per the needs of Indian customers.
