Robomatic sets up plant near Hyderabad for precast walls.

Robomatic Precon, a business of Robo Silicon, a green building materials company, has set up a manufacturing facility near Hyderabad to produce precast partition walls.

The company has teamed up with Finland-based Elematic to set up the manufacturing facility with an investment of Rs. 20 crore.

Second in India

“This is the first such production facility in South India and second in India, the other one is located in Ahmedabad. With this innovative solution, the company strengthens its presence in the green construction products segment,” Vijay K Kosaraju, Managing Director, Robomatic Precon, said. He said Robomatic Precon has set up a fully automated precast partition walls manufacturing facility on a three-acre land at Lemoor village in RR district, about 45 km from Hyderabad. The plant has been imported from Elematic of Finland, a leader in Precast technology with presence in over 100 countries. The technical knowhow is from Acotec of Finland. He said Robomatic Precast walls are thick hollow-core, non-load-bearing wall elements. They are made of normal concrete and are a good alternative to bricks and blocks. The plant has a capacity to produce 2.4 lakh sq mt, high-quality elements a year. The entire manufacturing process is eco-friendly.

Advantages

Precast walls save on time and energy and facilitate smarter design and aid the builders and architects to expedite project completion. A wall using this technique can be installed seven times faster than the conventional brick work, he said.

Shridhar Rao, regional manager, Elematic, said there are 22 plants for precast products in India and this is the second such precast wall tech plant in India. The other plant is based in Ahmedabad.
