Precast concrete magnets are revolutionizing the entire precast concrete industry by making the production process efficient and cost-effective. Traditionally, formwork is welded, drilled, etc., which is extremely damaging to the steel platform. Shuttering magnets have been successfully developed and manufactured to solve this problem.

Are the workers in the concrete prefabrication plant tired of the repetitive template construction work involving pouring, drilling holes, screwing in screws, or nailing in nails to position the side panels? This type of work, which is both tiring and inefficient, should be optimized. Using a precast concrete shuttering magnet is an ideal choice. The shuttering magnet simplifies the template assembly process by placing the magnet in the desired position to be fixed. Pressing the switch button immediately activates strong magnetic attraction to secure the template. After proficiently using the shuttering magnet to secure the template, the process will be 70% faster than the previous manual nailing process.
Dismantling the precast concrete shuttering magnet is also quick. Use the matching pry bar to lift the switch button. As the bottom magnetic disc separates from the steel platform, it loses its magnetic attraction. Subsequently, the workers were able to remove the precast concrete shuttering magnet and complete the demolding work. If you are accustomed to using precast concrete magnets, you will notice that the work environment has also become more organized. Since there is no welding involved, the entire concrete pouring bed platform will be smoother and cleaner. It is also beneficial for extending the service life of the mold table.
The pre-made magnets have a stainless steel housing material to protect the core of the whole unit, which is the NdFeB magnet. NdFeB magnets are known for their strong magnetic force, but they are also very brittle and prone to breakage. The coating of the NdFeB magnets utilizes the NI-CU-NI technology to prevent the magnets from corroding in wet environments. In the working environment of a prefabrication plant, magnetic cartridges are susceptible to water, concrete, iron filings and small metal objects. Adding the protection of a stainless steel housing can help prevent 90% of damage to the magnet. We also need to remind users to always clean the shutter magnets after removing them for better use next time.
The two black hex screws on the top of the shuttering magnet box are used to secure additional adapters. With these tools, workers can repair a wider variety of design templates. For example, in an L-shaped steel template, the two drilled holes at the bottom are fixed with hexagonal screws. This setup allows for adjusting the height of the side baffle to accommodate pouring higher specification precast concrete components.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How do shuttering magnets protect the steel platform from damage?
A1: Traditional formwork fixing requires welding or drilling into the steel table, which causes permanent damage. Shuttering magnets secure the templates using powerful magnetic attraction, eliminating the need for drilling or welding and keeping the platform smooth and clean.
Q2: How much faster is template installation using shuttering magnets?
A2: Securing templates with shuttering magnets can speed up the assembly process by up to 70% compared to traditional manual nailing and screwing methods.
Q3: How do you deactivate and remove the shuttering magnet?
A3: Simply use a matching pry bar to lift the integrated switch button on top of the magnetic box. This action separates the bottom magnetic block from the steel table, releasing the hold and allowing easy removal.
Q4: How does the housing protect the magnet core in harsh factory environments?
A4: The Neodymium (NdFeB) core is housed within a durable stainless steel casing that guards against concrete, water, and debris. Additionally, the magnet core features a Ni-Cu-Ni coating to prevent rust and corrosion in humid conditions.
Q5: Can shuttering magnets adapt to different height specifications?
A5: Yes. The top of the magnetic box includes two hex screws designed to secure additional adapters. These adapters allow connection to different types of formwork and enable adjustments to accommodate higher or custom precast concrete specifications.
