Detailed comparison and analysis of rubber recess former and magnetic recess former

In precast concrete production, recess formers play a key role. This type of efficient tool is mainly used to form grooves in concrete, which is convenient for the subsequent installation of lifting anchors and ensures the safety of the lifting process. At present, there are two main types of recess formers on the market: rubber recess formers and magnetic recess formers. Both have their own characteristics in terms of materials, usage methods, and application scenarios. This article will deeply analyze their structure, accessories, advantages and disadvantages, and help you choose the right product according to your actual needs.

Rubber recess former

Definition and structure

Rubber recess formers are made of high-strength rubber, and their elasticity and molding devices are ideal for the production of small and medium-sized precast parts. This recess former is usually round or other shapes and is used for manufacturing in concrete, followed by bolt installation for subsequent processing.

Accessories used with it

Fixing bolts

Fixing bolts is one of the accessories of rubber recess formers. With fixing bolts, recess formers can be quickly installed on the mold to prevent movement during concrete pouring.

Stamped Metal Plate

The filler metal plate provides additional support for the recess former, enhancing its ability to resist deformation. Especially in thicker concrete molds, it can effectively maintain the shape of the recess former.

Lifting anchor

The rubber recess former is usually used in conjunction with standard lifting bolts, and its flexibility makes bolt installation and bearing connection more convenient.

Advantages

High elasticity

The rubber material can withstand greater deformation without damage, which makes it suitable for molds with complex shapes.

Low cost

Compared with inferior recess formers, rubber recess formers are expensive to manufacture and are particularly suitable for projects with limited budgets.

Can be used multiple times

As long as it is properly guaranteed, the rubber recess former can be recycled many times, further reducing production costs.

Typical application scenarios

Production of small and medium-sized prefabricated parts, such as floor slabs, walls, etc.

The scenario where the mold needs to be pointed out, such as architectural decorative parts.

Magnetic recess former

Definition and structure

A magnetic recess former is a precast concrete tool with a strong magnet as a fixed core, and its body is usually made of high strength. This type of recess former is designed for high load and position lifting requirements and can easily be equipped with lifting bolts from 1.3 tons to 10 tons.

Accessories

Vehicle bolt terminals of various specifications

The magnetic recess former can be used with various types of embedded bolts to adapt to different load requirements.

Optional center bolt

In some scenarios where higher stability is required, the center bolt can be used to further enhance its fixing ability.

Advantages

Easy installation

Due to the magnetic fixation, the magnetic recess former requires additional screws or screws for installation, reducing the possibility of mold damage.

High reusability

The combination of high-strength steel and magnets makes this product extremely durable and suitable for long-term use in large-scale production.

Accurate positioning

The magnetic fixation method ensures the accurate positioning of the Recess Form, which helps to improve the quality and efficiency of prefabricated parts production.

Typical application scenarios

The production of large prefabricated parts, such as bridge components, subway tunnel components, etc.

For scenarios with high positioning accuracy requirements, such as structural parts of high-rise buildings.

Comprehensive comparison and selection suggestions

Structure and material comparison

The main material of the rubber groove former is rubber high strength, its flexibility and durability, suitable for complex molds. The magnetic groove former is composed of magnets and magnets, which is more suitable for high load and large-scale production needs.

Cost analysis

In short-term projects, the cost of the rubber groove former can meet the limited budget. For long-term use or large-scale production, although the initial investment of the magnetic groove former is higher, its durability and efficiency significantly reduce the long-term cost.

Recommended usage scenarios

Rubber groove former

Suitable for small and medium-sized prefabricated parts production.

For budget-sensitive projects.

Magnetic groove former

Large prefabricated parts or high-load scenarios.

Projects with high requirements for production efficiency and positioning accuracy.
