Magnetic Recess Former for Foot Anchor is a magnetic recess former for use in the production of precast concrete elements, which is used in conjunction with anchors of varying tonnage (Loads from 1.3 to 10 tons) in order to locate and secure the anchors on the metal mold.
It is designed to hold the anchors firmly to the mold without drilling holes using strong magnetic attraction force, which prevents damage to the mold and extends its service life. After the concrete has been poured and hardened, the magnetic recess formers can be easily removed from the molds, while the anchors remain in the precast concrete pieces for subsequent lifting and handling.
Features and benefits of the Magnetic Recess Former for Foot Anchor
Made of Q235 Low Carbon Steel and neodymium magnets, ensuring stable and secure anchor holding during casting.
Optimized magnetic circuit design providing attraction force from 50 kgf to 360 kgf.
Rubberized coating protects internal magnets from corrosion.
Reusable, environmentally friendly and cost effective solution for precast concrete.
Sturdy and stable construction ensures long term industrial use.
Customizable rubber coating colors available for special marking requirements.
Precautions when using the Magnetic Recess Former
Ensure that the mold surface is clean and free of old concrete residue, which may affect the strength of the Magnetic Recess Former. When demolding, the magnetic groove former can be pulled away from the mold by screwing in a bolt.
For specially designed magnetic recess formers, such as the "Pro Version", they are designed with a steel plate on the bottom magnet, which generates a higher magnetic force (50% to 300% higher than the standard version) at a modest cost increase.
In addition, the magnetic recess formers are designed and manufactured in accordance with the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and VDI/BV-BS 6205 to meet the requirements for safe lifting and handling of concrete elements. All products are CE marked, traceable numbered, and come with a 3.1 certificate.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of the Magnetic Recess Former?
