StarTec XT

The StarTec XT with the integrated combination tie hole unites three tying methods in one system. It is possible to switch between these with a flick of the wrist – without installing additional parts. You thus remain flexible and profit from significantly shorter formwork placing times when tying from one side. Another advantage: StarTec XT is fully compatible with StarTec and the lightweight, crane-independent AluStar.

The new generation of wall formwork systems

StarTec XT is a real all-rounder for universal use in commercial and residential construction with a capacity of 60 kN/m² fresh concrete pressure. StarTec XT is fully compatible with StarTec and AluStar.

One system – 3 tying methods

Every construction site is unique, and the formwork requirements vary from project to project. StarTec XT creates an ideal basis for this as the system ensures that you remain flexible and well equipped for every task. Thanks to the smart combination tie hole, it is possible to select between three tying methods with a flick of the wrist. Every panel can be used for both initial and final formwork without additional assembly work. This saves times and simplifies the logistics. With StarTec XT, there are no additional accessories that require complex and time-consuming assembly work.

The smart combination StarTec XT tie hole

Ties with tapered anchor sleeves or DW 20 threads – the combination tie hole makes them possible.

By using an internal body that can be positioned as required with the XT combi-lever, the tying method can be changed easily with a flick of the wrist.

The combination tie hole is integrated into the frame, ensuring that no parts protrude. No installation and removal are required.

The XT combi-lever

The XT combi-lever is a universal formwork tool fitted with a karabiner that can be attached anywhere.

Depending on the tying method, the XT combi-lever can be used in a wide variety of ways, e.g.

To set the tying method in the combination tie hole
To remove the XT sealing cone from the wall formwork panel

Wall thicknesses from 15 to 45 cm

The XT taper tie 20 is available in various lengths for different wall thicknesses:

15-25 cm
20-30 cm
35-45 cm

The wall thicknesses are adjusted in 1 cm steps using spacers.
The desired wall thickness can be read off the spacers.

XT tie rod DW 20

Wall thicknesses up to 85 cm

The XT tie rod DW 20 is available in two lengths and can be used for all wall thicknesses.

0-40 cm
0-85 cm

The wall thickness is determined by the length of the plastic tube.

Plastic tubes D23 are available in the corresponding lengths for wall thicknesses of 20, 25, 30 and 35 cm.

Inclined panels

Inclined panels

The clever XT combination tie hole and the XT taper tie enable a panel with an angle of inclination up to 4° to be tied simply and quickly. They can also compensate for angular misalignments up to 4° between adjacent and height-extended panels.

A wall full of ideas

MEVA systems stand out due to a maximum of efficiency, quality and practical details. This also applies to the tried-and-tested multi-purpose formwork StarTec XT. With its uniform system components, small number of accessories and a perfectly coordinated range of options, has everything it takes to ensure that a MEVA system is the best solution for construction site applications.

StarTec XT panels

The StarTec XT panel dimensions and symmetrical internal tie holes result in a uniform tie hole and joint pattern for the highest architectural-concrete requirements. This applies to vertical, horizontal or a combination of vertical and horizontal formwork.

With the panel heights 330 cm, 270 cm and 135 cm as well as panel widths from 270 cm to 30 cm, StarTec XT enables quick adaptation to the geometry of the building. Thanks to the range of panels, all common wall thickness can be formed without filler areas.
