 Plate Types

SALAMANCA Plate:
Salamanca plate: flat plate with 2 interior ribs for securing light accessories without loss of water-tightness.

Rapid mounting of flanges and manholes on site.

Weight of the plate depends on and height. Max weight: 600kg/plate.

VALLADOLID Plate:
The Valladolid plate is specifically for settling tanks with a channel to be filled with self-levelling concrete.

Included a weir kit to incorporate in the plate Valladolid: canal, Thompson spillway and floating deflector.

The Valladolid plate is highly resistant to buckling, thanks to the reinforcement of the isothermal body: which
allows to carry the weight of the bridge.

Clean and hygienic settling tanks, easy to install and maintain.

Weight of the plate depends on and height. Max weight: 125kg/plate.

7
 Plate Types

BURGOS Plate:

Has a cellular structure in composite materials,

ribbed, which increases its thickness by an
additional 45 mm.

The PUR foam covers the entire plate except

the screws and washers.

Enhanced thermal insulation.

Vertical load bearing capacity, for example:

floating aerator moorings, walkways, buried
tanks or tanks inside tanks with different
levels of liquid.
(Ask our engineering department about
your case).

Possibility to fasten and secure elements on

the entire interior surface of the plate.

Optional Degasifier: clean water outlet from

settler via overflow incorporated into the
plate.

Optional Air Pipe: ingress and egress of

blower air through the plate ascending and
descending inside the same.

Weight of the plate depends on and

height. Max weight: 800kg/plate.

 Fabrication Process

Flex Molding Fabrication Process:

The Flex Molding process is used to obtain reinforced plastic pieces with high glass fiber content, arranged in the
direction of the stress, which leads to high mechanical strength.

It consists of injecting a reactive polymer under pressure into the mold which contains the reinforcement in form
of fibers, all of which is done in a controlled vacuum environment.

This process of impregnation (Flex Molding) is used to build pieces in a closed mold, making it an ecological process
by eliminating emissions and consumables.

It comprises a mold and a die that performs the sealing with the main mold, a vacuum being created between the
two to be able to eliminate the air content. The impregnation of resin is achieved by a pressure difference between
the injection and venting points inside the mold. The resin enrichment means that the composite has high external
and internal protection against chemical agents.
