Magnet-based formwork solutions offer quick and easy handling during shuttering and deshuttering, which has a positive effect on production speed. The magnets hold the formwork securely in place. Adhesive or welded joints become unnecessary, which means that work can be carried out in a way that is gentler on the material. More than 20 years ago, Ratec launched the Standard Pro Magnet Box, or SPB for short (in the USA: KPB Klacker Power Box), and with it introduced the switchable magnets into the precast plant. Today, the SPB is used for formwork fastening in numerous precast concrete plants worldwide.
