ThermoPin® D270_70

ThermoPin®

The ThermoPin® is a composite anchor made of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GRP) for sandwich walls and core-insulated double walls. The ThermoPin® is used to connect facing and load-bearing shells of core-insulated precast concrete elements. The GRP material is suitable for use in slender components. Thanks to the attached cap, the pin slides easily into the fresh concrete, thus enabling particularly fast installation. The firmly attached sleeve guarantees correct installation and ensures that the penetration point in the insulation is closed and no concrete can flow into the opening. Thus, the rod ultimately disappears into the concrete and is not visible on the surface. The result is flawless surfaces without visual deficits. ThermoPins® are provided with conical widenings at the ends to increase pull-out resistance. A particularly high tensile strength is achieved by using only fully intact glass fibers along the rod axis. The ThermoPin® is available in 2 versions: as horizontal and diagonal anchor type.

Advantages of the ThermoPin

• Cost-effective - low assembly costs due to quick and easy installation
• durable - tested resistance, even in alkaline media
• slim - constructions with low layer thicknesses possible

Application and possibilities of use

• Sandwich walls
• double walls insulated with core

ThermoPin® planning software

ThermoPin® planning software is an extension of the PLANBAR BIM/CAD system with a module "Calculation and arrangement of composite anchors (ThermoPin®) for sandwich wall and thermal wall construction systems". The aim in developing the module of the Allplan Precast CAD system was to develop an additional module in which the selection and placement of ThermoPin® bars type H and type D for individual walls, entire floors or buildings, including drawing, specifications, 3D design and NC data, is automated. The ThermoPin® is a building authority-approved product that connects facing and load-bearing shells of core-insulated walls without thermal bridging. The number of ThermoPins to be installed is calculated individually for each wall panel, taking into account the expected forces, and the ThermoPins are distributed over the surface according to the geometry of the wall element. The calculation and drawing of the ThermoPins can be done manually, but it is a very slow and inefficient step. The step of drawing in and scheduling the ThermoPin is accelerated by our digital solution, which significantly increases the efficiency of the ThermoPin. By integrating it into the PLANBAR software, we give PLANBAR users everything they need to work independently with the ThermoPin®.

Advantages of the ThermoPin® planning software

• Automatic drawing of ThermoPins in Nemetschek's PLANBAR software for sandwich walls and thermal walls with and without freely suspended facing layer
• Manual moving of ThermoPins
• Collision control included
• Automatic quantity determination
