How do shuttering magnets improve the efficiency of concrete pouring?

   2024-12-18

Shuttering magnets can improve the efficiency of concrete pouring by:

Quick and easy installation

The shuttering magnet can be quickly installed onto the formwork without the need for time-consuming mechanical fastening methods such as nails or screws. This significantly reduces the installation time of the formwork and allows the concrete pouring process to begin more quickly.

This video shows you how quickly the shuttering magnet can be activated and released in a prefab project. We recommend using a rubber mallet rather than a hammer to do this.

For example, in large construction projects with a large number of formwork, the use of shuttering magnet can save hours or even days of installation time compared to conventional fastening methods.

Powerful fastening capabilities

These magnets provide a strong and reliable fixing, ensuring that the formwork stays firmly in place during the concrete pouring process. This prevents any unwanted movement or displacement of the formwork, which could lead to concrete leakage or uneven surfaces.

In situations where high fluid pressure is applied to the concrete, such as in tall columns or thick slabs, the powerful magnetic force of the shuttering magnet keeps the formwork tightly sealed, maintaining the integrity of the pour.

Adjustable and reusable

The precast concrete magnet is flexible and adjustable for precise alignment and positioning of the formwork. This flexibility allows workers to make quick adjustments in the field to ensure the forms are set perfectly for optimal concrete placement.

In addition, they are reusable, which not only reduces material waste but also saves money in the long run. After the concrete has set and the forms have been removed, the magnets can be easily dismantled and reused for subsequent pours, increasing the efficiency and economy of the entire project.

Enhanced safety

By eliminating the need for drilling tools and nailing operations during formwork installation, shuttering magnets reduce the risk of accidents and injuries on the construction site. Workers can install formwork faster and with less effort, creating a safer working environment.

The is particularly suitable for crowded or narrow construction areas where the use of power tools may pose an additional hazard.

Facilitates faster formwork removal

enables efficient formwork removal by quickly removing the precast magnet after the concrete has cured. This speeds up the turnaround of the formwork, allowing it to be reused in other areas of the project more quickly, further improving overall construction efficiency.

In contrast, traditional fastening methods require more effort and time to remove, which delays the reuse of the formwork.
Combining the above points, the following table is listed for your reference:

Shuttering Magnet

Traditional fastening methods

Installation Speed

Fast, can be directly adsorbed without complicated operations.

Slow, nails need to be driven in one by one or screws need to be tightened.

Requirements for Installation Tools

Basically no tools are needed.

Hammers, screwdrivers and other various tools are required.

Convenience of Adjustment

The position can be adjusted flexibly.

It's difficult to adjust and may require reinstallation by nailing.

Fixing Effect

Firm, able to resist the pressure during concrete pouring and prevent displacement.

The firmness is affected by the quality of nailing and there may be a risk of loosening.

Removal Speed

Can be removed quickly.

It takes time to remove the nails and may damage the formwork.

Reusability

Can be reused many times.

Nails may be damaged and the reuse of formwork may be affected.

Safety

No complicated operations are needed, reducing the risk of accidents.

There are risks of being hit or stabbed when using tools.

Impact on Construction Progress

Can quickly complete the installation and removal of formwork, speeding up the progress.

The installation and removal processes take a long time and slow down the progress.
