I have a question on this particular model , with the curve and gutter mold , does this machine have the feature to tilt the mold from the front of the gutter to the back of the curve , to set up the high top of the gutter . I hope i make my self clear onbmy question
I really like the results, very smooth and nothing avalanche may I know the quality of the concrete and the slump for coarse and fine aggregate with what ratio? how much cement do you use? and of course there must be what type of admixture to use Thank You
Hi! So, we failed at using a concrete release agent on the mold and the auger, and now we are facing the consequences of that. Any suggestions on how to remove the sticked concrete from the equipment? Also, sometimes grout droplets would fly from the mixer onto the machine, getting stuck after a whole day of work. Should we pretreat the front of the machine with a release agent too? Thanks for your help.
Hello Raymond, the authority setting affects how the controls respond to the sensor inputs. Increasing the authority will make the machine more responsive to grade and steering deviations on the stringline or 3D model. We suggest having all set at 5 as a baseline. If you have any questions regarding a specific application feel free to contact our Product Support team at 704-647-6141 or productsupport@powercurbers.com
@@raymondhalpin9813 on your display set everything to 5 for sensitivity. For deadband, set the left two boxes to 2, the middle box to zero and the box to the right at 5. If you need screenshots of these just email us and we'll be glad to send.
I've seen a lot of people who thought it was easy to make molds, they all had to dump rubbish tens of cubic meters of concrete in the end of the day! Use fabrication mold !!!
Hi Luke! In the United States, we sell and support them directly from our factory in North Carolina. Internationally, we have a dealer network that fill the same roles. Pricing depends on a few options including which engine you want, number of molds, etc. Please call our factory for specifics. +1 704-636-5871
Nous aimons voir tout l'excellent travail que vous faites avec votre extrudeuse Power Curber 150, Mickael! We enjoy seeing all the great work you do with your Power Curber 150 Extruder, Mickael!
Hi Drew! Probably not. Typically, you'll need one person to steer the machine, one "chute man" to communicate with the concrete truck about moving and aiming the chute into the 150 Extruder's hopper. Then, it usually takes a person or two following the machine to finish the concrete.
Hi Jason, we have a video specifically explaining the concrete mix for an extruded curb machine - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9Jwe2aj2GZs.html
The valve is a "Berco at160" and the grease gun adapter with hose to fit it is a "Berco cs266" Please keep in mind, this part may vary on older models. We recommend you call our Parts department for the right components. They'll be happy to help you order this adapter (part #p8043) +1 704.647.6195.
What is the best way a construction joint can be incorporated into this if you can’t pour everything in one go? Would you need to build a form around the dowels?

Great to see the technology advances in these slipform machines over the years. The ONLY negative about “stringless” is the fact that you eliminate the need for laborers. I mean “laborers” in a “union” sense. More jobs list to technology. I finish behind these machines.. 5700B and 5700C to be exact. But we still use string line. Masons following slipform machines are here to stay for a while. Even with all the technology, concrete acts funny and there will always be flaws. Not many on a run like in the video but in a parking lot... a lot more to do. Corners, catch basins for drainage and many other things are still a lot of work. I think some type of hydraulic addition near the mold will be next in the technology. Imagine a slipform machine that would allow you to slide the mold back 6’-8’ so it can actually start in the corner (where you’ve already poured the other side of the corner)... it would be great to see but then again, you’d need less masons.
You are right about concrete always needing finishers. The corners and catch basin tie-ins will always require touching up. The tradeoffs from stringless technology are that you eliminate stringline setup in favor of a 3D job site model and positioning equipment. This may open the door for a new 3D specialist position to create/edit job site models and monitor results while pouring. You no longer need those people out pounding pins and can instead use them to work behind the machine. Most contractors we hear from tell us that they have plenty of work but have trouble filling their crews. Companies opting to go stringless would never eliminate their valuable employees, but instead, use them to start a second crew or get those tough hand tie-ins done quicker so they can squeeze more jobs into the week.
I follow a Power Curber 5700C. I’ve finished a lot of bridge/barrier but never a wall this tall. Those cement trucks look just like a company we use often in upstate NY. Cranesville Concrete. Capable of pouring barrier and bridge wall, our machine is mostly used for slipping curb. 6” curb, 8” curb, gutter, ribbon gutter, mountable and more. These machines are very versatile. I’ve been “following” for over 20 years now. Back when I first started, we used a Barber-Greene and a Con-Former. Things have really changed over the years.
Twenty years of working with a curb machine is a fine career! Most people don't appreciate what an art form finishing and working with concrete can be. The tall barrier you see in the video was slipformed in Wisconsin. Machine versatility is one of our priorities and we're glad it has worked out for you.
From 40 seconds to 1 minute 14 seconds ..(bridge wall) with the Power Curber 5700C is in upstate NY. I work with that crew sometimes. A great group of guys. Very talented.
Concrete reinforcement varies widely depending on the country and installer. If you watch this video at 2:22 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TNlVF06rmOs.html You can see that there are two longitudinal lengths of rebar being fed into the front of the mold. That is a common way to reinforce curb and gutter.
Thanks for all the videos 👍 I love to check the videos👍. I would love to come over and have a visit whit you guys somethimes because i also working whit that machine in Oslo Norway
