Afinitas offers this modular BFS Universal system as an ideal choice for rapidly growing precast concrete markets, as it can be expanded gradually, whenever necessary. Consequently, production can begin with a modest investment and, as demands increase, BFS equipment can be added to build a highly productive plant. Even in its most basic configuration, the BFS Universal guarantees the highest levels of concrete product quality.

BFS Universal Machine Key Advantages
BFS Universal is Easy to Maintain
The BFS Universal is engineered to be almost maintenance-free. Universal is designed with a sturdy, rigid construction that consists of the following parts:
- Concrete Feeding Unit
- Mold equipment and Accessories
- Hydraulic Unit
- Electric Control System
- Pressing Arm
Efficient Feeding
The BFS Universal’s concrete feeding unit operates using a conveyor belt with a concrete holding hopper. The unit has a base frame for mounting on the floor with a ball bearing. In addition, the feeding unit swivels manually using a conveyor belt drive that is equipped with an electronic control system.
Hydraulic Press Arm
The BFS Universal’s main frame has a mounted press arm, with a hydraulically powered swivel motion. Universal uses a mounted spigot former presshead, with a mounted press turning gear for the spigot forming ring, and a presshead mounting bracket.
Robust Mold Equipment
The BFS Universal system features an inner mold and outer mold with accessories and a lifting beam that is useful for concrete product handling. The Universal is designed with a vibrating system with central vibrators that are mounted in the mold core. A frequency converter can be added as an option.
BFS Universal Electric Controls
The Universal’s electric control system for the manual control of the press arm is designed for 230/400 V, 50 Hz.
