AluStar

AluStar is MEVA's universal aluminium ­hand-set formwork range. The weight-performance champion is light and easy to handle. It is ideal for crane-free use and many other ­applications. As Alustar is 100% compatible with the StarTec steel multi-purpose formwork, it perfectly complements this system as well.

AluStar panels

With panel heights of 270, 135 and 90 cm, and panel widths ranging from 90 cm to 20 cm, AluStar is readily adaptable to specific geometries. Thanks to the variety of elements, all common wall thicknesses can be reproduced without fitting areas.
 

The maximum element weight of 65 kg makes the system light and crane-independent. The system also has articulated corners that are infinitely adjustable from 60° to 180°.

With only two tie holes for 270 cm panel heights and a maximum panel weight of 65 kg, this weight-performance champion can accommodate fresh concrete pressures of 60 kN/m² over the entire surface.

AluStar makes light work of heavy tasks

  • Flange screw 

    Single component for strong connection of all accessories

  • Multi-function profile 

    Made from closed hollow aluminium profiles with welded-in DW 15 nuts for rapid, structurally continuous connection of accessories

  • High-grade powder-coated finish

    Facilitates cleaning and reduces concrete ­adhesion

  • Closed hollow profile

    For high stability and a long service life

  • Cast-iron corners with integral bump notches

    Fitted at four corners for panel widths of 55 cm and more to simplify ­adjustment and alignment with crow bar

  • Tie hole

    With conical anchor sleeve, welded in from both sides

  • alkus all-plastic facing

    No water absorption, resistant to swelling and shrinkage. Smooth, robust surface ­guarantees a high-quality concrete finish, even after heavy use

Tie rod fixture

For fixing to multi-purpose profile of upright or ­horizontal AluStar panels – for fast and safe ­transportation on site.

AS assembly lock 

Only one component needed for rapid, ­reliable panel connection: MEVA assembly lock. Allows single-handed fitting at any position along the frame. A few hammer blows suffice to achieve a strong, level and stepless panel connection.

High flexibility

AluStar offers an easily adaptable formwork solution thanks to its wide range of possible combinations. Height increments of 30 cm are achievable through the free connection of formwork panels in the upright or horizontal position.

Keeping everything in hand

Carefully thought through to the finest detail

AluStar's ease of handling is a testament to MEVA's intelligent product design and close collaboration with practitioners in the development and ­optimisation of its systems. Fast, crane-independent movement is no ­problem: the convenient grip profile ensures that the AluStar panels can be safely held and transported. They are also easy to position and precision-assemble at the required location. The larger panels are additionally fitted with bump notches that vastly simplify adjustment and alignment. 

Cast-iron corners with integral bump notches

  • Fitted at four corners for panel widths of 55 cm and more to simplify adjustment and alignment with crow bar
  • Stable and durable: the reinforced cast-iron corners significantly reduce the need for repairs

Working in tandem to meet all your on-site needs

Together, AluStar and StarTec comprise a product family featuring crane-independent ­aluminium and large-format steel panels. The only component needed for their universal ­application is the assembly lock. No other adapters or connectors are required. Combined use of the two systems allows the efficient and flexible deployment of resources to meet all on-site demands.

Cost-effective all-in-system

This safety system with a working platform is easy to install using a single component – the flange screw. A loadbearing capacity of up to 200 kg/m² guarantees start-to-finish safety throughout the assembly and concreting operations.
