What are Magnetic Recess Formers?
The magnetic recess formers are used with anchors from 1.3 tons to 10 tons. They are designed to make it easy to position spread anchors at the requested place on the metal mold. The magnetic recess former ensures accurate positioning of lifting anchors, clean recess formation, and reliable load transfer during demolding and installation.
Unlike traditional rubber or screw-fixed formers, magnetic recess formers provide faster setup, higher repeatability, and reduced labor errors—making them a preferred solution in modern precast factories.

How the Magnetic Recess Former Works:
Strong Magnetic Fixation: A powerful permanent magnet securely holds the recess former to the steel mold or pouring platform. This prevents movement during concrete pouring and vibration, ensuring consistent positioning every time.
Precise Anchor Bolt Positioning: The lifting anchor bolts are precisely placed within the magnet recess former, ensuring correct alignment, embedment depth, and load transfer performance.
Concrete Pouring and Curing: Concrete is poured and cured around the anchor bolts and the former. The rigid structure of the magnet recess former maintains its shape, forming a clean, well-defined recess.
Easy Demolding: After curing, the former can be easily removed without damaging the concrete surface, leaving a smooth, precise magnet recess former.

Key Features of Magnetic Recess Formers
Integrated Recess Former with Magnet: The magnetic recess former combines the
recess former and high-strength magnet into a single, compact unit. This integrated design ensures
precise positioning on steel formwork, eliminating movement during concrete pouring and guaranteeing
consistent recess geometry for lifting anchors.
Internal Thread for Easy Magnet Release: An internal threaded design allows the
magnet to be released quickly and safely using a standard lifting tool or bolt. Compared with prying
or manual removal, this method improves operational safety and significantly reduces demolding
time.
Solid Steel Base for Long Service Life: Built with a robust steel base body, the
recessed former offers excellent resistance to impact, wear, and repeated casting cycles. This sturdy
construction ensures reliable performance even in high-volume precast production environments.
Reusable, Cost-Effective, and Eco-Friendly: Designed for repeated use, magnetic
recess formers reduce material waste and lower overall production costs. Their durability and
reusability make them a more economical and environmentally responsible alternative to disposable
recess formers.

General Instructions for Installation and Use of Magnetic Recess Formers

The steel recess formers are always used in combination with a rubber ring. The rubber ring
ensures that the anchor fits snugly in the former.
Moreover, the rubber ring prevents concrete pouring into the recess former.
We recommend that both the anchor head and rubber ring be lubricated with formwork oil before
installation. When the precast element is lifted out of the mould, the anchor and rubber ring
detach themselves easily from the recess former.
When using the magnetic recess former, it is very important that the surface of the formwork be clean. After demoulding, the magnetic former can be removed from the formwork with a screw.

Package of Magnetic Recess Formers
Only products that fully meet our strict manufacturing and quality inspection
standards are approved for shipment. Before delivery, each item undergoes careful inspection to ensure
consistent performance, dimensional accuracy, and surface quality.
For packaging, we use durable outer cardboard cartons reinforced with secure strapping, providing
excellent protection during handling and transportation. To further safeguard the products against
moisture, dust, and environmental exposure, each carton is lined with high-quality waterproof protective
bags.
Inside the carton, products are neatly arranged and stacked according to a fixed quantity and standard
packing layout, preventing movement, deformation, or damage during transit.



FAQ
Q: What are the uses of a magnetic recess former?
A: The magnetic recess former is used in precast concrete production to create clean, precise grooves for lifting anchor bolts. It ensures accurate anchor bolt positioning and allows for safe engagement of the lifting clutch during demolding and installation.
Q: Can a magnetic recess former be reused?
A: Yes. Magnetic recess formers are designed for multiple pouring cycles. Their robust steel construction and durable magnetic system allow for long-term reuse, making them both economical and environmentally friendly.
Q: Are magnetic recess formers compatible with different lifting anchor bolts?
A: Most magnetic recess formers are compatible with standard ball-head anchor bolts and common lifting systems. We also offer custom designs to meet specific anchor bolt sizes or project requirements.
Q: How is the magnetic recess former removed after pouring?
A: The internal threads allow for easy and safe release of the magnets using standard bolts or lifting tools. This method avoids prying or hammering, helping to protect the formwork and molder.
Q: Will the magnet's magnetic force weaken over time?
A: High-quality permanent magnets maintain a stable magnetic force under normal prefabrication production conditions. With proper use and storage, their magnetic properties remain reliable over long-term use.
Q: Can magnetic recess formers be used for wooden templates?
A: They are primarily designed for steel templates. For non-steel molds, we can provide other fixing solutions such as rubber recess former or custom designs.
