ToggleThe Challenge: Wet Shuttering Waste & Pallet Durability Failure Under Repetitive Vibro-Compaction
Construction contractors and brick plant operators face two silent cost drains: timber pallets that degrade in 3ā5 cycles, and wooden shuttering boards that absorb moisture, swell, and demand secondary plastering rework. At BAUMA CON 2026, Rajratan Group is demonstrating three field-proven solutions, including a durable Construction Brick Pallet, engineered to help eliminate both problemsābacked by live static load trials, submersion durability tests, and transparent cost-per-cycle economics.
Live Demonstrations at BAUMA 2026: Three Product Innovations Under Real Conditions
Rajratan’s booth will feature three parallel live demonstrations, each solving a specific operational pain point in brick manufacturing and concrete formwork:
1. PAC Fly Ash Brick Pallet ā IS 16058 Compliance Under 7500kg Static Load
Watch as PAC Fly Ash Brick Pallets withstand full vertical load stress (7500kg, matching vibro-compaction machine force) without cracking, warping, or water absorption. Engineered from reinforced industrial-grade packaging waste with metal dust powder and XLP fiber, these pallets deliver 60+ complete reuse cyclesācompared to timber’s 3-5 cycles before fiber degradation.
| Specification | PAC Fly Ash Brick Pallet | Standard Timber Pallet |
|---|---|---|
| Reuse Cycles (before failure) | 60ā80 cycles | 3ā5 cycles |
| Static Load Capacity | 7500 kg (IS 16058 certified) | ~3000 kg (degrading) |
| Water Absorption | 0% (zero swelling) | 15ā22% (swells, warps) |
| Density | 1135 kg/m³ | ~600 kg/m³ (variable) |
| Service Life | 7ā8 years | 1ā2 years |
| Cost Per Cycle | ā¹1.33āā¹2.08 | ā¹40āā¹60 |
2. Recycled Plastic Brick Pallet ā Crack-Resistance Proof Under Repetitive Vibro-Compaction
Live compression testing will demonstrate how recycled plastic pallets resist cracking under repetitive machine strikes. Zero internal fiber breakage, zero dimensional creepācritical for plants running 8-10 hours daily with compact rhythms of 4-6 seconds per cycle.
3. Waterproof Shuttering Board Submersion Durability Trial
Submerse sample PAC Shuttering Boards (12mm standard, 18mm heavy column grade) in water for 72 hours under continuous conditions. No swelling, no delamination, no fiber separation. Lab-tested (NABL-accredited Choksi Laboratories): compressive strength 22.0 N/mm², moisture content 0.33ā0.64%, zero water absorption. Result: elimination of secondary plastering work and extended board life from 30ā40 reuses to 100+ reuses.
ROI Calculator: Timber vs. PAC Pallets Over 24-Month Deployment
| Cost Factor | Timber Pallets (qty 100) | PAC Fly Ash Pallets (qty 100) | 24-Month Net Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Initial Pallet Cost | ā¹3,00,000 | ā¹4,50,000 | āā¹1,50,000 |
| Replacement Cycles (24 months) | 12 replacements @ ā¹3,00,000 | 2 partial replacements (40% buyback credit applied) | āā¹32,40,000 |
| Water Damage & Rework | ā¹80,000 (swelling, mold) | ā¹0 | āā¹80,000 |
| 40% Buyback Credit (2 cycles) | ā¹0 | ā¹3,60,000 credit applied | ā¹3,60,000 |
| Total 24-Month Cost | ā¹36,80,000 | ā¹5,90,000 | ā¹30,90,000 saved |
Key insight: Despite 50% higher initial cost, PAC pallets eliminate replacement cycles and water-damage rework, delivering **6.2x cost advantage over 24 months** for high-volume brick plants.
