In a device for producing concrete slabs, a mold lower part is inserted into a frame secured via retaining braces to receiving areas of guiding columns oriented along an insertion direction and having, above the mold lower part, a structural loading device movable along the guiding columns and having, on the side facing the mold lower part, a mold upper part with one or more pressure plates inserted or insertable into one or more recesses of the mold lower part, the structural loading device being connected to the pressure plates via pressure rams. An upper guide element arranged between the structural loading device and the pressure rams interacts with a lower guide element arranged on the retaining brace such that, during the production of concrete slabs, the structural loading device is constantly guided relative to the mold lower part on a plane perpendicular to the insertion direction.

Disclosed is an incinerator fly-ash pelletization method that concentratively arranges incinerated garbage fly ash inside a supporting member, and uses upper and lower molding members that are respectively provided with upper and lower pressing forces of different magnitudes to press and mold the incinerated garbage fly ash into a fly-ash pellet having a rounded projection portion on each of upper and lower surfaces thereof for reuse in a subsequent stage. The rounded projection portion functions to separate multiple fly-ash pellets that are stacked together to facilitate complete combustion, so as to effectively reduce environmental pollution and realize the purposes of recycling and reusing waste resources and improving economic values. The apparatus includes an apparatus chassis, and upper and lower hydraulic cylinders are arranged in the apparatus chassis to respectively connect to the upper and lower molding members that are each provided, at a central portion, with an arc-form shallow trough.

A molding unit includes: a flask guide member guiding the upper flask and the lower flask; a first squeeze member and a second squeeze member disposed in such a manner as to sandwich upper and lower flasks as the upper flask and the lower flask connected with each other, the first squeeze member and the second squeeze member each capable of entering the upper and lower flasks; a squeeze cylinder including a rod having an end part fixed to the first squeeze member and a cylinder body extending and contracting the rod; and a squeeze guide member configured to fix relative positions of the second squeeze member and the cylinder body. The flask guide member is a hollow rod member, and the squeeze guide member is a rod member disposed in a movable manner inside the flask guide member.

Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a method comprising pouring a castable material into a mold to form a dish. The method comprises pressing a first object into the castable material thereby forming a first cavity in the dish. The method comprises pressing a second object into the castable material thereby forming a second cavity in the dish.

In a method for repairing or modifying a modular concrete block mold having multiple mold parts, a replacement mold part for a mold part to be replaced of the concrete block mold is additively manufactured and the replacement mold part is installed in the concrete block mold in place of the mold part to be replaced, or a region of a mold part to be adapted of the concrete block mold is additively manufactured and the mold part adapted in this way is then installed in the concrete block mold.

A method for producing microencapsulated fuel pebble fuel more rapidly and with a matrix that engenders added safety attributes. The method includes coating fuel particles with ceramic powder; placing the coated fuel particles in a first die; applying a first current and a first pressure to the first die so as to form a fuel pebble by direct current sintering. The method may further include removing the fuel pebble from the first die and placing the fuel pebble within a bed of non-fueled matrix ceramic in a second die; and applying a second current and a second pressure to the second die so as to form a composite fuel pebble.

A frame integrated vacuum hot press comprises a frame chamber including a vacuum space having an opened side; a door installed to the frame chamber to open or close the opened side of the vacuum space; a heating chamber including a heating space and a heater heating an object to be formed which is loaded in the heating space; and a cylinder which is connected to the frame chamber to apply pressure to the object to be formed which is loaded in the heating space of the heating chamber.

A compression device, means for controlling the compression device, a drum having an inner chamber, means for rotating the drum, and first and second delivery devices for delivering first and second materials into the inner chamber of the drum while the drum is rotating. The compression device compresses the first and second material in the inner chamber of the drum while the drum is rotating about the center of the drum in response to the means for controlling the compression device. The apparatus may include a stirring device; and a means for controlling the stirring device; wherein the stirring device is configured with respect to the drum so that the stirring device can be moved up and down to a desired depth within the drum and rotates within the inner chamber of the drum to stir the first and second materials in the drum while the drum is rotating.

A method for producing a green compact uses a pressing tool including a die, a first punch to be displaced in an axial direction, a second punch to be displaced in a radial direction through a channel in the die and a receptacle having a filling opening. The method includes locating the second punch before or during filling of a powdery material into the receptacle so as to be outwardly offset in the radial direction relative to an inner peripheral surface, filling the powdery material into the receptacle, and moving at least the first punch and the second punch and compressing the material in the receptacle, with the second punch being moved in the radial direction toward the receptacle only so far that it is disposed flush with a region of the inner peripheral surface. A pressing tool, a green compact and a sintered part are also provided.
