Premium Split Rubber Recess Former for Spread Anchor
Split Rubber Recess Former for Secure Spread Anchor Installation in Precast Concrete
The Split Rubber Recess Former for Spread Anchor is a durable and reusable forming accessory specifically designed for positioning spread anchors and creating precise recesses in precast concrete elements. The split-type design allows easy installation around the anchor and quick removal after concrete curing, improving production efficiency and reducing labor time.
Manufactured from high-quality rubber, this recess former creates a clean and accurate recess that provides easy access to lifting equipment during handling, transportation, and installation of precast concrete components. By creating a precise, clean elongated slot in the concrete element, it ensures that standard lifting clutches can engage and lock onto the embedded flat anchors flawlessly and safely. It is an indispensable tool for precast yards producing heavy wall panels, tilt-up elements, and custom concrete components.

Key Features
-
Innovative Split Design: The two-piece hinged configuration allows the operator to quickly open, insert the flat spread anchor, and snap it shut. This ensures 100% precise alignment and prevents any concrete slurry from leaking into the anchor head.
-
Perfect Cavity Formation: Specifically shaped to form the exact recess required for global standard lifting clutches, guaranteeing smooth, hassle-free hitching and unhitching on the job site.
-
Superior Rubber Compound: Molded from premium-grade, highly elastic rubber that maintains its structural integrity after hundreds of casting cycles. It resists tearing, concrete oils, and harsh weather conditions.
-
Fast & Clean Demolding: Thanks to its flexible split structure, once the concrete is cured and the mold is stripped, the split rubber recess former can be popped off effortlessly without chipping or damaging the concrete edges.
-
Versatile Fit for Flat Systems: Fully compatible with the entire range of flat steel anchors (Spread, Erection, and Plate types), offering a unified solution for your workshop.

How It Works (Application Guide)
-
Assembly: Open the split rubber recess former and place the upper head of the flat spread anchor into the internal slot.
-
Fixing: Close the two halves tightly. Fix the assembly onto your steel or wooden formwork using holding plates or dedicated positioning pins.
-
Pouring: Cast and vibrate the concrete as usual. The tight rubber seal prevents paste leakage.
-
Stripping: After curing, remove the formwork. Open the split rubber body to strip it from the anchor, leaving a clean, perfectly formed recess ready for the lifting clutch.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Procurement
Q1: Can this split recess former be used with round-shaft pin anchors?
No. This specific split rubber recess former is strictly designed for flat steel anchors (Spread Anchor System). For round-shaft pin anchors or swift lift systems, you should use our standard round Rubber Recess Former with Threaded Rod & Wing Nut or Magnetic Recess Formers.
Q2: What is the expected lifespan of these rubber formers?
When properly cleaned and lubricated with a suitable release agent after each use, our premium split rubber recess formers can be reused between 100 to 150 times, depending on the aggregate size and concrete vibration intensity.
Q3: Do you provide samples for testing before bulk orders?
Yes, we highly welcome quality evaluations. We can provide standard size samples (such as 2.5T or 5.0T) for your factory’s engineering team to test on-site before finalizing a container or bulk contract.
