Hollow block mould assembly: from welded to bolted versions – a constructional journey through time

In 2009, Kobra Formen GmbH introduced the bolted version of hollow block moulds that until then had always been welded. They tested the constructional assembly with pilot customers on different continents. The Kobra designers incorporated ideas, suggestions and criticism and the mould was continuously developed. To this day, the bolted assembly is a unique Kobra selling proposition in mould manufacturing. It raises the question of why Kobra implemented a modular concept based on plug-in and bolted joints and what benefits resulted that justified alignment of all mould production with this concept.
