The difference of universal panels from standard ones is multiholes on special twist reinforcement named as universal bar and the surface of plywood in the front side of reinforcement. These holes are drilled with 5 cm distance from each other across panel. Univesal panels provide great convenience on corner and stop-end solutions of wall formwork as well as ensuring the system to be utilized as column formwork. Universal panels are also manufactured in 5 different heights as standard ones but in just 90 cm and 120 cm in width.

Panels are connected to each other quite easily with Panemax clamps. A rigid connection is obtained with just a single hammer blow. Independently from the holes on frame profiles,  the clamps clutch two panel from any point and pull one another. High resistance of corner profiles reduces the numbers of clamps to be used.

• This system pulls two panels one another with a hammer blow.
• It operates independently from the holes on corner profile.
• A rigid connection is formed with a limited number of clamps.
• Panels can be connected to one another vertically and/or horizontally.
• Clamps align panels as well as pulling one another.

It is possible to place a wooden connector in a maximum thickness of 20 cm between adjustable clamp VD and two panels. These connectors can be manufactured from 0cm up to 20 cm in required sizes. Because of this property of system, standard panel dimensions and walls in variable dimensions can easily be untied. Furthermore; these wooden connectors ensure formwok striking to be easy by preventing squeeze of panels from inner corners.

Combination of panels should be stabilized by panel waling and fixing bracket PNX-PNM if two panels are placed on top of each other. So, this will ensure two panels to be both plumbed and prevent deformations during transfer.

Fixing bracket PNX-PNM

Fixing bracket PNX-PNM is fixed to the holes on panel reinforcement by pins. This system also clutches panel waling with tie-rod and wing nut on other edge.

By means of adjustable clamp VD, wooden connectors can be placed between panels. The width of these parts can be from 0 cm up to 20 cm in required sizes. This property provides great flexibility to the system. Thanks to these connectors;

• Panels in standard dimensions can be used in places in which special size panels are necessiated.
• Formwok striking is ensure to be easy by preventing squeeze of panels from inner corners.

The area where connector will be used should be supported by panel waling 40X80 PN. In circumstances where connector width is 15 cm and less, it is enough to assemble tie-rod to just one of panels and tie waling and other panel with fixing bracket PN. In circumstances where connector width is more than 15 cm, it is necessary to assemble tie-rod to both panels. In this case, there is no need to have fixing bracket PN.

If one of the panels assembled on outer side of rectangular edges is utilized as universal panel, it will be sufficient to use single side wooden connector rather than double side one. With the application of wooden connectors in different dimensions, all wall thicknesses can be sorted out with standard size panels and inner corners.

As in rectangular edges, with the application of wooden connectors in different dimensions, various wall thicknesses can be sorted out with standard size panels and inner corners. Wooden connectors are used in inner sides of walls thinner than 30 cm and in outer sides of walls thicker than 30 cm.

This system ensures the corners of jointed inner and outer panels to be shut by intended angle.

Various solutions are possible for stop-ends in Panemax system.

Panemax is also a successful column formwork system as well as being virtually a wall formwork system. The universal panels which have 5 cm distance of holes from each on surface make the system to be used as an adjustable column formwork. All column dimensions can be formed with universal panel of 120 cm width starting from 25X25 to 105X105 by expanding 5 cm distances from each side.

Panelleri “dış köşe parçası” ve “panemax bağlantı kilidi” kullanarak köşeden-köşeye birleştirmek ve bu şekilde kolon kalıbı yapmak da mümkündür. Bu şekilde gerçekleştirilen farklı birleşimler, sistemin değişken kolon ölçülerinde kolaylıkla kullanılmasını sağlamakta ve sisteme büyük esneklik katmaktadır.
