German company Ratec, known as technology specialist in magnetic formwork systems, is constantly further developing solutions for user-friendly and efficient production of precast concrete elements. Their latest innovations are particularly interesting in the quality-oriented and productivity-driven market. At bauma 2016, Ratec presented their latest solutions in the field of magnet shuttering, which were developed with the objective of further improving plant use. In close cooperation with users from the field, the product innovations were rendered suitable for real-life application. Precast producers are facing ever-increasing requirements to continuously develop and improve their offer and range of products in order to maintain their success in the competitive marketplace. Developing new and improving existing shuttering solutions provides them with the support they need to master these challenges. The new UAR adapter is yet another all-rounder and, to date, the only known system of its type. It enables upstands to be created at any specified angle, which customers were previously usually required to produce on an individual basis. The system is also suitable for elements comprising protruding reinforcement and stepped upstands. The pivoting arm can be continuously adjusted in both height and distance while being securely fixed at the same time. Steel or wood can be used as formwork facing and is secured by means of the C-rail. A patent application has been filed for this unique product development. Further applications are in the testing phase.
