EdjPro System
Edge-Lifting Systems for Factory-Cast Panels
The EdjPro system was specifically developed to eliminate cracking and spalling around edge anchors. It is
ideal for lifting thin factory-cast panels where a high finish is required, typically visible and exterior walls.
Use of the EdjPro system will ensure panels remain in their perfect factory-cast condition, avoiding remedial
work and lowering overall costs.

‘Hairpin’ anchors are the most efficient and economical type for edge-lifting thin panels as they
provide maximum anchorage without overstressing the concrete. The EdjPro Anchor has a rubber
plug in the lifting hole to prevent ingress of concrete during casting and a keyhole-shaped aperture
for a supplementary reinforcing bar.

ACI “CCD” Method
AS3600:2009 provides no guidance and the
CCD method, adopted by the ACI is the most
widely accepted design standard for the design
of fixings and anchors in concrete.
The CCD method was first proposed by Fuchs,
Eligehausen and Breen in the ACI Structural
Journal Jan-Feb 1995 PP. 73-94 and endorsed
by ACI committee 318.
The CCD method is simple to use for both
single anchors and anchor groups and based
on projected areas of square pyramids of a

 Ancon Reinforcement
Ancon manufactures a wide range of engineered reinforcement systems
for use at construction joints in concrete. Products include threaded
starter bars, reinforcing bar couplers, headed anchors and re-bend
continuity systems. Stainless steel reinforcement is also available.

Unicoil Products
UniCoil16 are threaded starter bars for connecting panels and floors in precast and tilt-up
construction. UniCoil has a higher yield (137kN) and ultimate tensile strength (179kN) than
standard N16 bars, so less reinforcement may be required saving material and labour.
The smooth, continuously rolled UniCoil thread is fast and simple to install.
UniCoil16 is suitable for use with a QwikFoot ferrule which is ideal where an efficient, slip-free,
full bar strength, headed anchorage is required.

MuscleStart Bars (Gold Thread)

MuscleStart starter bars meet the full design capacity of standard N class bars to AS4671.
The thread is swaged and rolled the full section of the bar.
This starter bar is a cost-effective solution. N12 MuscleStart bars have almost twice the strength
of conventional N16 metric threaded (M12) bars, so less reinforcement may be required saving
materials and labour.
The bars are suitable for use with Qwikfoot ferrules and MuscleStart Socket Bars, and provide a
full strength, slip-free connection.

BT Couplers
BT Couplers are the smallest in the Ancon range and are the most cost-effective when used on
large scale, high volume projects. The end of the bar is cut square and enlarged by cold forging,
before a parallel metric thread is cut.
The threaded end can be proof tested to a force equal to the characteristic yield strength of the bar.

 Reinforcement

Keybox Reinforcement
Continuity Systems
This system is a quick and easy method of
maintaining continuity of reinforcement at
construction joints in concrete. It comprises a
galvanised steel casing, with a dimpled surface
to provide effective concrete bond, which
houses pre-bent bars beneath a protective
cover.
The unit is nailed to formwork. After pouring
the concrete and striking the formwork, the
cover is removed to expose the bars. The bars
are straightened using a Keybox re-bending
tool, ready for lapping with other reinforcement.

 Simplifies formwork design

 No drilling of formwork
 Minimises exposure to projecting bars
Bar embedment depth is 130mm as standard
(from front of casing); larger or smaller depths
are available on request.
Full details of the standard Keybox range are available in the Ancon Reinforcement Continuity Standard casing lengths are 1000mm and

HCC Column Shoe with HAB
Anchor Bolts
This system is a fast and efficient means of
connecting precast concrete columns to
foundations. It can also be used to form
continuous columns which have been
prepared as independent precast components.

The connection between the elements is

immediately load-bearing eliminating the need
for assembly braces. HCC Column shoe

HAB Anchor Bolts are set into the foundation

slab using a fitting template. Concrete columns
are supplied to site ready to assemble, with
HCC Column Shoes cast into each base. The
elements are then mechanically connected
together and the recess is sealed with mortar
to complete the installation.

Halfen Fixings
The HAB Anchor Bolt can be supplied as a
straight or bent bar, or as a headed anchor.

Seal Mortar
The full final load bearing capacity is only provided if the joint under the column is filled with low-
shrink seal mortar; available from Ancon in 25kg bags.

More product information is available from the Halfen HCC Column Shoe literature available to
download from www.ancon.com.au. Halfen also provides calculation software to simplify the
selection and dimensioning of HCC column shoes and HAB anchor bolts.

Sandwich Panel Anchors

Sandwich panels are a thermally-efficient, multi-layer, reinforced concrete
cladding system, typically comprising an aesthetic facing layer, an insulation
layer and a load-bearing structural layer.

Halfen sandwich panel anchors connect the
facing and load-bearing components together,
transferring the stresses acting on the front of
the building to the load-bearing structure
behind. The anchors are subject to corrosion
and are therefore manufactured from stainless
steel.
Although the anchors pass through the
insulation layer thereby forming a heat bridge,
the small cross-sectional area of the anchors
combined with the low thermal conductivity of
stainless steel mean they have a negligible
impact on the thermal performance of the
system.

SP-MVA Sleeve Anchors

These cylindrical sleeve anchors are
manufactured in a sheet thickness of 1.5mm
and are marked with the anchor height and
diameter. They feature round holes to accept
reinforcement and oval holes to allow for the
passage of concrete around the anchor.

SP-FA Flat Anchors

These flat anchors are manufactured in a sheet
thickness of 1.5, 2 or 3mm and are marked
with the anchor height, length and thickness.
Like the MVA anchor they also feature round

 CCL Pre-Stressing Accessories

Ancon is the approved distributor of CCL pre-stressing products and equipment.

CCL Products
CCL grips are accepted as the industry standard and represent more
than five decades of continuous development. All CCL components
are marked with their batch number in order to allow traceability.

and Wedges

Spring Loaded
Anchors

Double-ended joints

Open Grips Barrels and Wedges

Open grips should only be used at the
stressing end (live end) of the bed with a
hydraulic jack incorporating power lock-off. If
power lock-off is not available then spring-
loaded grips should be used. The wedges are
made up of two segments for use with wire
and three for use with strand.
Double-ended joints
DEJ/DEJ reducers can be used to connect
wire/strand together midspan. Where a
reducing joint is used, the pre-stressing force
should never exceed 80% of the
manufacturer’s specified minimum breaking
load for the smallest wire or strand being used.
Spring Loaded Anchors
Spring-loaded anchors or grips should always
be used at the non-stressing end of the bed.
They should also be used at the stressing end
where jacks without power lock-off are being
used.

CCL Equipment
CCL equipment is designed, manufactured and assembled with the same attention to detail as that used in
the production of its components. An experienced team, which also provides customer support on
technical issues, assembles, calibrates and certifies all equipment before despatch to the customer.

CCL Stressing Jacks
These have been the world’s leading jacks for
more than 50 years. First developed in the
1960s, they combine advanced design with
uncompromising quality to deliver the ultimate
in high performance and efficiency. CCL Jacks
are designed and assembled by CCL
engineers to the highest standards, offering
optimum safety and many years of reliable
operation.
Full technical records are maintained which
demonstrate compliance of equipment with
safety criteria, and the Company carries out
both traceability and cyclical pressure testing
on each jack, prior to release to the customer.
CCL Pumps
Using the best hydraulic components on the
market, CCL Pumps are built to provide
unrivalled performance and reliability. Each has
a full technical record to prove equipment
safety compliance requirements and are
checked for traceability and tested for pressure
before release to the customer.
CCL Pumps deliver multiple pressures to Both types of CCL Pump come in various sizes
accelerate the stressing operation, while and voltages.
maintaining control for precise stressing when
needed. State-of-the-art force control systems
give accurate multiple input and allow
downloading of output to Laptop or Palmtop
computers for storage, analysis and printing.
SR3000 pumps are of a robust design and
come complete with a protection frame as
standard. The high build quality and
specifications of the parts used ensure a high
reliability and low maintenance life. They offer
rapid, reliable two speed stressing operations
up to 18mm strand.
The SRX pump is
designed as a
compact lightweight
alternative to the
SR3000 unit and is
capable of delivering
excellent performance
on small strand
diameters.

CCL Accessories
Lubrication
The correct lubrication of jack wedges is
essential to prolong life and ease dismantling
of the grip after stressing. Two lubrication
products are available. A molybdenum-based
aerosol release agent dries to form a hard
coating on the wedge around ten minutes after
application, while Super Dippy lubricant
remains in a fluid state after being liberally
applied to the components of the grip.
Cleaning
A range of brushes is available for the cleaning
of wedges and barrels. These are designed to
fit standard drill chucks. The barrel brushes are
specially tapered to effectively clean the inside
body of the barrel.
Force Control
Force control systems are available which allow
the programming of the pump to automatically
deliver accurate and consistent pre-stressing
force. The units also allow for the download of
data from the pre-stressing operation, for
recording or analysis.
Calibration Units
Digital Calibration Units can be supplied to
allow Jacks and pumps to be calibrated quickly
and economically on site. They feature a clear
digital readout, a rechargeable battery and
mains operation.
Grip Release Tools
CCL Grip release tools are precision-machined
alloy products used to aid the release of
wedges from barrels. The tool is inserted into
the bearing end of the barrel until in contact
with the wedge. A sharp hammer blow is then CCL Pre-Stressing
delivered to the tool to break the contact Accessories
between the wedge and barrel without
damaging either component.
Replacement Parts
Approved spare parts and maintenance kits
are available from CCL. In order to maintain
equipment in good working order, CCL
recommends the carrying of a small stock of
CCL replacement parts such as jack wedges
and seal spares kits. This also avoids
interruption in the pre-stressing process when
it becomes necessary to change a jack wedge
and nose.
