A spherical head rubber former is a useful tool in the precast concrete industry, designed to create precise recesses for spherical head anchors. Made from flexible, durable rubber, this former shapes the concrete to ensure a perfect fit for the spherical head of the anchor, which is crucial for secure lifting and handling.
During the casting process, the rubber former is placed in the mold to form the recess where the spherical head anchor will be embedded. The flexibility of the rubber allows it to conform to various mold shapes while providing a consistent and accurate recess. Once the concrete has set, the former is removed, leaving a well-defined space for the anchor.
Using spherical head rubber formers ensures that anchors are properly seated, which improves the safety and efficiency of lifting operations. This tool is essential for achieving reliable and secure connections in precast concrete elements.
