Precast Concrete Formwork

Precast Concrete Formwork Magnets

Precast Concrete Magnets (PC fixing magnetic devices) are essential tools used in various formwork constructions. Precast Concrete Formwork Systems are utilized to secure side formwork and embedded elements in precast concrete systems. Precast Concrete Systems ensures efficient and safe handling of the concrete elements, resulting in faster and more precise construction. Precast Concrete Systems are one of the current developments in building industrialization, and it is extensively employed in the sectors of construction, transportation, water conservation, high-speed rail, road construction, and so on.

The key advantage of using Precast Concrete Magnets is their versatility. They can be used in different types of formwork constructions, including walls, columns, beams, and slabs. Regardless of the shape or size of the concrete element, these magnets provide reliable and strong magnetic force to hold them firmly in place. And the Precast Concrete Formwork Magnets are very easy to use. They are designed with a simple, yet effective, mechanism that allows quick and effortless installation and removal.

Except for their strength and ease of use, Precast Concrete Magnets also offer durability and longevity. They are made from neodymium magnets, which ensure a continuous magnetic force even in harsh conditions. These NdFeB magnets can withstand extreme temperatures, chemicals, and moisture, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor construction projects.

Precast Concrete Magnets are most commonly used as a fixing tool for foundation reinforcement or columns during the construction of beams and columns in conventional construction. In the prefabrication industry, when building the formwork, the reinforcement cannot be directly welded to the formwork, because it will cause the formwork to expand into a concave shape after drying, which will lead to deviation between the actual shape of the formwork and the concrete wall. Precast Concrete Magnets are huge powerful magnet holders with unique magnetic circuits, the magnetic field generated by the Precast Concrete Magnet is very strong, so the two Precast Concrete Magnets posted at both ends of the reinforcement can firmly fix the formwork.

Honsen Magnetics takes pride in our commitment to delivering superior quality and technical excellence.  With our advanced production equipment, we are able to manufacture a comprehensive range of Precast Concrete Formwork Systems. Our dedicated team of professionals, equipped with precise testing instruments, ensures that our products meet the highest standards.

1. Shuttering Magnets

Shuttering Magnets are revolutionary tools used in the precast concrete industry. They offer a quick and efficient way to secure formwork to steel casting beds without the need for drilling, welding, or screwing. The template magnet consists of a switchable NdFeB template magnet unit, a housing containing the magnet block, and fixing screws. Through the combination of neodymium magnets and steel plates, a powerful magnetic circuit is formed to generate strong attraction. This force acts to hold the wood or steel formwork in place. The control buttons are located on top of the precast concrete magnets. When the button is pressed, the magnet engages its magnetic circuit, holding the template firmly to the steel plate. Instead, the deactivation button facilitates easy repositioning of the magnet. There are two universally threaded holes on the top of the template magnet, designed to accommodate different adapters. The Shuttering Magnets from Honsen Magnetics can be customized according to your specific requirements, thus providing a diverse use experience.

Our advantages in manufacturing Precast Concrete Formwork Magnets:

-  Mechanical engineers are essential in the team, and the mechanical properties, dimensional tolerances, and other aspects of magnetic components are designed and reviewed by them. They will also develop the most reasonable processing plan based on the resources of the machining plant.

-  Pursuing product consistency. There are various types of magnetic components and complex processes, such as the gluing and welding process. Manual gluing can vary from person to person, and the amount of glue cannot be controlled. The automatic dispensing machines on the market cannot adapt to our products. Therefore, we have designed and produced a dispensing system for automatic control to eliminate human factors.

-  Skilled workers and continuous improvement! The assembly of magnetic components requires skilled assembly workers. We have designed and manufactured many unique and exquisite fixtures to reduce labor intensity, improve efficiency, and further ensure product consistency.

Q&A

Q: Do you accept customized projects?

A: We have optimized and designed the series dimensions, and customers can make adjustments based on this. And we also welcome our customers for any customized projects.

Q: Sample, price, and delivery time?

A: We accept sample orders. For the regular running products, we normally have samples in stock and can offer you the sample on the second day.  For bulk orders, it takes 15-20 days for production.

Q: Batch quantity, price?

A: Based on the specific processing difficulty, make targeted judgments and quotations.

Q: Do you have any inventory?

A: Yes, we have regular running products in stock.

Q: What causes the diminishing holding force of shuttering magnets over time?

A: The strength of the fixed effect in shuttering magnets can weaken over time due to a few factors. One reason is the presence of foreign objects, like concrete, iron filings, or film, on the bottom surface of the magnet. When these materials accumulate, they hinder the magnet's ability to securely attach to the platform, resulting in a reduced holding force. Additionally, misalignment of the magnet can also contribute to the weakening effect. When not properly aligned, the magnet cannot establish a strong connection, leading to a decrease in its overall effectiveness. It's essential to address these issues promptly to maintain the desired holding force and prevent further weakening of the magnet over time.

Q: How can I prevent damage to my magnet?

A: To maintain the integrity of your magnet and prevent damage, consider the following measures:

- Handle with care: Treat your magnet gently and avoid dropping, banging, or subjecting it to excessive force or impact. Remember that magnets contain delicate materials that can become damaged if mishandled

- Avoid magnet-to-magnet interaction: Don't allow magnets to come into contact with each other, as they can easily chip, crack, or shatter. Keep them separated or use non-magnetic materials as barriers when storing or transporting them.

- Protect from extreme temperatures: High temperatures can affect the performance and demagnetize magnets, while very low temperatures can make them more brittle and susceptible to breakage. Keep magnets away from extreme heat sources and avoid exposing them to freezing temperatures.

- Clean carefully: When cleaning your magnet, use a soft cloth or brush to remove any dirt or debris gently. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, as they can scratch or corrode the magnet's surface.

- Store properly: Shield your magnet from magnetic fields by storing it in a non-magnetic container or packaging. This prevents unintentional attraction to other objects and minimizes the risk of damage.

Q: Is it normal for magnets to experience a decrease in strength over time?

A: It is common for magnets to experience a decrease in strength over time. While all magnets will lose some tension over time, Honsen Magnetics uses high-quality magnets, which have a low loss rate of only 1% within the first 10 years of use. This means that our magnets maintain their strength and performance for an extended period compared to other magnets.
