How do shuttering magnets improve the efficiency of concrete pouring?
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.

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. |
