We offer a wide range of VSF Concrete print heads, mixers and nozzle rotation units to suit your 3DCP application. All units are made of stainless steel and are designed for easy disassembly and cleaning. Pumps and nozzle rotation units are driven by Siemens AC servo motors for high dynamic performance.
Our VSF Concrete print heads have the following features:
Integrated intermediate tank(s), designed to be fed from floor mounted material supply systems
Height sensing for intermediate tank which can be linked to the starting and stopping of the floor mounted pump.
Pressure Sensor to monitor pump pressure and prevent pump and hose damage.
Temperature sensor to monitor material temperature
Vibration unit to help remove air bubbles and prevent material sticking to tank walls.
Servo motor and gearbox driven pumping unit with either worm, screw or auger to control material flow.
AC servo motor driven nozzle rotation unit with replaceable nozzles.
Versions are available for 3 or 5 axis printing.
* Manual Loading Mortar Printer 10L-3Ax has horizontal mounted pump with auger feed coupled to a mechanical tank mixer. Nozzle rotation unit is supplied for separate mounting.

VSF Concrete 3D Print Heads
When used with VSF systems, our print head pumps , mixers, nozzle rotation and blade rotation speeds are programmable, and can be synchronised with the printing feedrate.
Our Nozzle Blade mixer is designed to provide high shear and mixing of two component cement materials just before printing. It incorporates adjustable angle replaceable blade inserts and is drive by an AC servo motor and gearbox. Application examples can include mixing of geopolymer cements or high density cement materials which are delivered in two parts and then combined and printed.

for 3D Printing with Concrete and Two Components Print Heads
This print head is able to 3D print concrete with aggregate up to 20mm in diameter. Concrete is pumped by an auger, with 80mm diameter and 30mm screw pitch. This is driven by and AC motor and gearbox. A large electric vibration unit integrated into the tank ensures good material flow. Temperate and pressure sensors are also integrated. The 20L tank is large enough to be manually loaded for testing small batches or it can be fed from a floor mounted concrete pump for continuous operation.
This has two of our VSF 10L_3Ax units coupled to a blade mixer. This makes it very suitable for mixing of two products with high shear immediately before printing. Examples can include high density cement or geopolymer cements. The blade mixer is separately driven and has adjustable angle replaceable blade inserts
This version of our 2 part mixing print head is designed for 5 axis printing. It has two of our VSF 10L_3Ax units coupled to a blade mixer attached to our 2 axis head with programmable B and C Axes Developed for mixing two products with high shear immediately before printing. Examples can include high density cement or geopolymer cements.
