In a highly competitive environment with increasing demands on product quality, companies need to implement modern technologies that increase productivity and accuracy. Magnetic formwork for reinforced concrete products is becoming one of the key solutions for automating and simplifying production processes while reducing costs.
What is magnetic formwork and how does it work?
The technology is based on the use of powerful magnetic blocks that ensure reliable fixation of formwork elements on metal moulds or tables. Unlike traditional fastening methods — welding, bolts or screws — sealed magnets in a housing, often with a mechanical activator, are used here. This allows formwork elements to be quickly installed and removed without damaging the surface of the equipment.
Magnetic blocks are designed for repeated use. They do not lose their holding force and ensure constant positioning accuracy, which is especially important in the serial production of reinforced concrete structures.
Where is the magnetic formwork system used?
Magnetic formwork for reinforced concrete products is used in the production of floor slabs, wall panels, columns, beams and other reinforced concrete elements. In practice, the technology allows for the precise fixing of longitudinal and transverse partitions, side walls and any other formwork elements. The system is particularly effective in combination with extrusion equipment and automated lines.
Manufacturing companies that have switched to magnetic formwork report reduced labour costs, fewer defects and faster technological operations due to quick mould reconfiguration and high repeatability.
Magnetic formwork for reinforced concrete products provides the following key benefits:
- Speed of installation and dismantling: installing magnets takes just a few minutes, much less than bolted or welded fasteners.
- Equipment preservation: no drilling or welding extends the service life of moulds and tables.
- High fixing accuracy: tight fit eliminates displacement and vibration during pouring, which is especially important for hollow slabs and panels.
- Reusability: magnetic blocks retain their characteristics even after prolonged use.
- Convenience and safety: ease of installation reduces the workload on personnel and improves the production culture.
- Flexibility: the ability to easily reconfigure the installation parameters for different mould configurations.
In addition, this system saves on fastening materials, reduces waste and speeds up overall production productivity.
