Description
The Utility Anchor Rubber Recess Former is an essential tool for ensuring the precision and safety of precast concrete lifting systems. It is specially designed to secure the Utility Anchor during the pouring process, ensuring accurate positioning and forming a perfect recess. This precise recess design enables fast and reliable lifting operations, improving on-site efficiency and safety. Whether manufactured in the factory or on the construction site, the Rubber Recess Former ensures that every lifting point meets the highest quality standards.
Made from high-performance, oil-resistant rubber, the Utility Anchor Rubber Recess Former maintains its shape even under harsh conditions, including temperatures up to 1200°C. Its durable material allows for repeated use with proper cleaning and maintenance after each pour. For optimal results, applying release oil before inserting the Utility Anchor helps prevent concrete sticking and extends the life of the former. HULK Metal also offers OEM services, producing Rubber Recess Formers with different functionalities tailored to individual customer needs.
The Rubber Recess Former is available in a variety of sizes, can withstand loads ranging from 0.8 tons to 7.5 tons, and can accommodate anchors with diameters of 12 mm and 17 mm. For added reliability, a wet seal plate can be inserted at the rear of the former to maintain a tight seal and prevent concrete infiltration during pouring. This meticulously designed accessory combines flexibility, durability, and precision, making it a reliable choice for consistent, high-quality precast concrete production.

System Composition
Rubber Recess Former:
The Rubber Recess Former is a durable, reusable component designed to form precise cavities in precast concrete for accurate anchor installation. It maintains stable positioning and reliable performance in both utility and spread anchor lifting systems, ensuring efficiency and consistency throughout the casting process.
Lifting Anchors:
Lifting anchors are embedded within precast elements to enable secure handling and lifting operations. When paired with a Rubber Recess Former, they ensure precise placement, improved lifting accuracy, and enhanced safety across various concrete construction applications.
Spread Anchors:
Spread anchors are ideal for handling large or heavy precast units. Combined with a compatible recess former, they create well-defined recesses that ensure correct lifting clutch engagement and stable, safe performance under demanding loads.
Ring Clutch:
The ring clutch connects directly to the anchor via the recess created by the Rubber Recess Former. It ensures dependable load transfer, smooth operation, and quick coupling during lifting, providing reliable performance in every precast project.
Lifting Clutch:
A lifting clutch securely engages with the anchor positioned by the Rubber Recess Former, creating a strong and efficient connection between the lifting system and the concrete element. It guarantees safe, precise, and repeatable lifting operations.
Lifting Hooks:
Lifting hooks are vital components in precast lifting assemblies. Used with anchors and recess formers, they provide rapid connection, stable load control, and dependable lifting performance across elements of varying weights and dimensions.

Utility Anchor Rubber Recess Formers with Shorter Lead Times:
Step 1: Preparation and Inspection
Before installation, inspect both the Utility Anchor and the Rubber Recess Former to ensure they are free from damage, deformation, or residue from previous use. Clean the former thoroughly and apply a thin layer of mould oil to the inner surface. This prevents concrete adhesion and facilitates easier removal after casting.
Step 2: Anchor Insertion and Alignment
Insert the Utility Anchor into the Rubber Recess Former. Ensure that the anchor sits firmly in position, with the head fully engaged in the recess cavity. The former is designed to hold the anchor securely and maintain precise alignment throughout the casting process. This step is crucial for ensuring consistent load-bearing performance and a clean, accurate recess for lifting.
Step 3: Fixing the Assembly
Position the combined unit on the formwork. Depending on your setup, the former can either be bolted through the formwork for a fixed installation or floated directly in the concrete using the wet setting plate to keep it sealed. Confirm that the recess former is stable and properly aligned before pouring concrete.
Step 4: Concrete Pouring and Curing
Once the assembly is secured, proceed with concrete pouring. The Rubber Recess Former will maintain its shape under pressure, protecting the anchor and forming a precise cavity. Allow the concrete to cure according to standard procedures.
Step 5: Demoulding and Cleaning
After the concrete has sufficiently hardened, remove the recess former carefully. Thanks to its flexible rubber composition and pre-applied mould oil, removal should be quick and clean, leaving a well-defined recess. Clean the former immediately after use to remove any residue, ensuring it remains in optimal condition for future use.
