PRODUCT BROCHURE

Product OverviewFaster

Efficient tie hole positioning reduces the number of ties required, lowering costs and construction times

Modular components reduces the time to assemble and dismantle the panels

Minima has an extensive range of accessories that enable quick erection and stripping of the system

SaferFew loose fittings make it easy and convenient to connect the panels by using Minima clamps - no special tools are required

Minima is a robust, wall formwork panel system for concrete loads of up to 60kPa

EasierMany of Minima's panels are lighterweight (only 30kg/m2), which means most panels are easily set by hand, minimising the need for cranage, reducing costs and skilled labour requirements

Minima has either a high quality ply face or a composite face, which lasts longer, provides a better finish and is easier to clean

Panels can be clamped together and up to 25m2 can be lifted by crane if required, increasing the productivity of the system

Minima inner corners have a 2 degree stripping clearance, which allows panels to be easily removed once curing has taken place

Clamps are easily tightened, prolonging their working life and reducing labour requirements

Minima has many different panel sizes ensuring that virtually any wall can be erected. Furthermore, composite panels are available for longer life and a better finish

Features and BenefitsLightweight panelsPanels are only 30kg/m2 so most of them are easily set by hand, minimizing the need for cranage, reducing costs and skilled labour requirements.

Simple clamping systemThe Minima clamps are easy to use, which reduces the time needed to complete the project.

Increased productivityThe productivity of Minima is improved when its clamped together (up to 25m2) and lifted by crane to the next pouring location.

Easy strippingOnce sufficient curing has taken place Minima inner corners can easily be removed because of their 2 degree stripping clearance.

Ply or composite faceMinima can have either a high quality ply face or a composite face, which lasts longer, provides a better finish and is easier to clean

VersatileAvailable in 18 panel sizes, including a panel that's 2.7 x 2.4m, virtually any configuration can be erected.

Clever designTie positions support 1.21m2 of formwork when using 2.7 x 0.9m panel assemblies, reducing the number of ties required, lowering costs and construction times.

In DetailSystem

Modular componentsReduces the time to assemble and dismantle the system.

Few loose fittingsIt is easy to connect the panels by using the Minima clamps, no special tools are required.

High concrete pressureMinima is suitable for concrete pressures up to 60kN/m2 for single tie and 55kN/m2 for height extended forms. Minimises the use of form ties, reducing the number of components required.

Handset formworkMost of Minima's panels can be set without a crane, substantially reducing cost.

Hot-dip galvanised frameIncrease panel's life cycle and reduce maintenance costs.

Wide range of panel sizesWith three different height sizes and five different width sizes, with 18 different panel sizes overall, including 2.7 x 2.4m, Minima can be adopted to almost every project.

In DetailInnovative Components

The Minima multi purpose panelWith horizontal tie holes at 50mm intervals, Minima can be used in special applications such as wall offsets, corners with oblique angles and pilaster.

Minima external corner clampCan join two standard panels together and skip the requirement of using an external corner panel.

Minima adjustable clampJoins panels and fillers together and allows up to 150mm of infill adjustment.

Minima hinge cornerCan be used in a wide range of internal and external angles.

Composite Panel FaceComposite panels provide a high quality finish, they can last up to twenty times longer than ply panels and they are much easier to clean and repair, saving significantly on replacement and maintenance costs.
