High-Quality shuttering magnet for concrete formwork Manufacturers, Exporters

A shuttering magnet is a highly effective tool for fixing concrete formwork in precast plants. They feature powerful NdFeB magnets enclosed in steel housing and come with an on/off mechanism for easy operation. These magnets feature high bonding force, versatility, ease of use, high efficiency, improved quality control, and reusability. They are widely used in precast and modular housing projects for wall panels, columns, beams, and other large projects.

Product Description

Shuttering magnets, also known as precast concrete magnets or magnetic formwork systems, are professional fixing tools used in precast plants. These magnets help workers to efficiently fix and position the formwork, thereby improving the production efficiency and finished product accuracy of precast parts.

Functionality and Design

The Shuttering Magnet is mainly composed of a sturdy steel housing and a neodymium magnet array. It is designed with an on/off mechanism for quick installation and removal. This design allows for easy release of the magnetic force, making it easy to move the magnet and position the template as needed, which is essential for efficient fixing and alignment of the template.

Key Features
  • Powerful Magnetism Depending on the model, the magnets’ adhesive strength varies from 450 kg to over 3,000 kg which is critical for providing stability when concrete is poured.
  • Multiple Uses Shuttering magnets work with any and all formwork materials including plywood, aluminum, and steel. They can also be used for a great variety of precast elements like wall panels, stairs, and balconies.
  • Simplicity The magnets’ integrated button mechanism makes it easier for workers to turn the magnetic force on or off and increases efficiency for construction projects.
Advantages
  • Increased Efficiency Labor costs and time are cut down drastically because formwork does not need to be bolted or welded and can be secured with shuttering magnets.
  • Improved Quality Control The aforementioned magnets as powerful as these professionally crafted ones they aid in holding the formwork at its correct position, thus providing reinforcement of higher quality concrete products.
  • Reusability Over time, shuttering magnets will help to cut overall cost as they are designed to be easily fastened and removed multiple times.
Applications in Construction

Shuttering magnets have gained acceptance in the different areas of precast concrete production as follows:

  • Building and Erection of Walls and Columns Before construction of walls and columns, they are pivotal in keeping formwork holding devices in position during concrete pouring.
  • Modular Construction Shuttering magnets make it possible to quickly construct modular dwellings as they allow recording and undoing of formwork in a great length.
  • General Works In general construction projects, these magnets allow speedy construction and disassembly of formworks systems, thus shortening the duration of many projects.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a shuttering magnet?

A shuttering magnet (or precast concrete magnet) is a specialized magnetic fixing device used in precast concrete plants to secure formwork and templates in place during the concrete pouring and curing process without the need for drilling or welding.

How does the on/off mechanism of the shuttering magnet work?

The shuttering magnet features an integrated button mechanism. Pressing the button down engages the powerful neodymium magnet array, securing the formwork to the steel platform. Pulling the button up disengages the magnetic connection, allowing easy repositioning and removal.

What formwork materials can be used with shuttering magnets?

Shuttering magnets are highly versatile and work with almost all standard formwork materials, including plywood, aluminum, and steel. They are widely used for casting wall panels, columns, stairs, and other precast structures.

What range of adhesive/pull force do these magnets provide?

The pull force (or breakaway force) varies depending on the specific model. Specifications typically range from 450 kg (1000 lbs) for lighter setups up to 2400 kg (5300 lbs) or more, providing rock-solid stability during concrete pouring.

Are shuttering magnets reusable?

Yes, shuttering magnets are designed for heavy-duty, long-term reuse. Encased in durable steel housings, they can be easily cleaned, maintained, and reused hundreds of times, making them highly cost-effective.
