If you are thinking about how to reduce the cost of producing precast concrete wall panels? How to increase the output of precast concrete? The quality consistency of mass-produced precast concrete wall panels? Then the magnet formwork can meet your needs. Shuttering Magnet (formwork magnet) does not require welding and bolting. The super strong suction can ensure the consistency of the wall panels you produce.
If you are still using wooden formwork to produce, then you will add extra costs in the long run, and the production efficiency is not high. Employees will also use hammering magnets to adjust them for a long time. In the long run, employees will be very hard and cause low work efficiency.
Shuttering Magnet Vs Wood Formwork
| Features | Shuttering Magnet | Wood Formwork |
| Efficiency | High efficiency, fast placement, and demoulding | Relatively low, requires manual fixing and removal |
| Flexibility | High, adaptable to different geometries and sizes | Low, fixed shape and size |
| Precise alignment | Strong magnetic force ensures precise alignment | Depending on manual adjustment, may have errors |
| Cost | Initial investment may be high, but long-term cost savings | Low initial cost, but may need frequent replacement |
| Precise alignment | Strong magnetic force ensures precise alignment | Depending on manual adjustment, may have errors |
| Material savings | No welding or bonding, reducing material use | Additional materials may be required to fix |
| Surface quality | Magnetic fixing protects the formwork surface | Surface damage may occur due to the fixing method |
| Ease of operation | Easy to operate, quick release and repositioning | Requires additional tools and labor for fixing |
| Durability | Magnets and steel parts are durable | Wooden parts are easily damaged and have a shorter lifespan |
| Maintenance | Low maintenance requirements | Periodic maintenance and repair may be required |
| Environmental protection | Recyclable materials, reducing waste | Wood use may lead to forest resource depletion |
How To Use Shuttering Magnet And Formwork Magnetic
Preparation:
Make sure all areas where formwork magnets are needed are clean and free of debris and dust.
Check that the formwork magnets are intact and have sufficient magnetism.
Formwork design:
Determine the position and shape of the formwork according to the design drawings of the concrete element.
Plan the layout of the formwork magnets to ensure that they can cover all areas where the formwork needs to be fixed.
Place shuttering magnet (formwork magnetic):
Place the shuttering magnet (formwork magnetic) in the intended location.
Make sure that the edges and corners of the formwork are aligned to ensure the geometric accuracy of the concrete element.
Install formwork magnet:
Place the formwork magnet in the appropriate position of the formwork, usually along the edges and corners of the formwork.
Make sure there is good contact between the magnet the formwork and the work surface (such as the concrete pouring table).
Activate the magnet:
For magnets that need to be manually activated, press the switch or button on the magnet to activate the magnet.
The magnet should firmly hold the formwork so that it does not move during the concrete pouring process.
Check and adjust:
Before pouring concrete, check that all shuttering magnets (formwork magnetic) are properly fixed and ensure that they are not loose.
If necessary, use additional accessories or adapters to adjust the position of the formwork.
Concrete pouring:
Once the formwork and magnets are fixed in place, you can start pouring concrete.
Use a vibrating table or vibrating rod to ensure that the concrete is evenly distributed and that air bubbles are expelled.
Curing and demoulding:
Wait for the concrete to cure to the appropriate strength, which usually takes a certain amount of time, depending on the type of concrete and environmental conditions.
After the concrete has cured, turn off the magnetic force of the magnets and carefully remove the formwork.
Cleaning and maintenance:
Clean the formwork magnets and formwork to remove any residual concrete.
Perform necessary maintenance on the formwork magnets, such as cleaning the magnet surface to ensure that its performance is not impaired.
Shuttering magnet systems can be easily arranged on the edges of tables or moldings, as well as in window and door openings. Simply position the side template in the appropriate position and then firmly attach it to the template using the push-button magnets. You can easily adjust the position of the magnet by sliding it over the surface before pressing the button to attach it.
Regular Maintenance To Extend Service Life
1. Cleaning suggestions
Before using the magnetic box, check whether the bottom of the magnetic block and the platform are clean and flat. If there is foreign matter on the bottom of the magnetic box, you can use a stainless steel scraper to clean it (the iron scraper will be adsorbed and cannot be cleaned). If there are materials that are difficult to clean, such as concrete, you can use a polisher to clean it.
2. Handle with care to prevent damage to the magnet inside the magnetic shuttering
Because the high-performance permanent magnetic material used in the magnet is sintered from rare earth materials, its texture is similar to that of ceramics, hard and brittle, and easy to break.
Therefore, during the use of the magnetic box, it should be prevented from being thrown or smashed randomly, and it should not be thrown from a long distance when removing the mold. Avoid using hard tools (such as a large iron hammer) to knock or bump the magnetic box to cause deformation.
3. Magnetic shuttering collection suggestions
After using the magnetic box, the magnetic box should be cleaned and placed on a stainless steel cart to keep it clean and convenient for the next use. The magnetic box should not be placed on an iron cart to avoid being sucked and unable to be removed.
