Qingdao SIMEN PRECAST, a leading provider of precast concrete accessories, has introduced its new Rubber Recess Former—a specialized component 

designed to solve the challenges of securing spherical head anchors during precast concrete casting.  

At its core, the Rubber Recess Former serves a critical role in anchor installation: when paired with spherical head anchors, it securely fixes the anchor

to formwork, ensuring precise, stable positioning during casting. This not only simplifies the anchor-locating process but also prepares the anchor for

seamless compatibility with universal heading lifting links post-casting. Beyond alignment, the tool’s rubber construction creates a smooth, bowl-shaped

recess in the concrete—this recess protects the anchor during production and enables easy, secure hooking of lifting heads later in the handling process.  

Built for durability and versatility, the Rubber Recess Former boasts standout performance features: made from high-quality rubber, it maintains its shape 

even under harsh conditions (including exposure to temperatures up to 120℃ or contact with oil) and supports repeated reuse, reducing long-term 

project costs. To streamline on-site efficiency, the formers are color-coded by load group (“Dim.” markings correspond to specific anchor WLL ratings), 

allowing teams to quickly match them to the correct anchors. Additionally, the tool is compatible with both rod and socket threaded plates, expanding .

its adaptability across different precast setups.  

Complementing its functional design, the Rubber Recess Former aligns with Qingdao SIMEN PRECAST’s commitment to quality and convenience: it meets 

elevated industry standards, features superior durability for consistent performance, and is supported by a swift production cycle and versatile delivery 

options to align with tight project timelines. For construction teams, this tool eliminates the guesswork and instability of manual anchor positioning—reducing

installation errors, cutting down on rework, and ensuring precast components are ready for safe, efficient lifting post-production.  

To further support customers, Qingdao SIMEN PRECAST offers holistic service for the Rubber Recess Former: from pre-sales guidance on matching formers

to anchors, to after-service tips for reuse and maintenance. This customer-centric approach ensures teams can fully leverage the tool’s benefits, streamlining 

precast production workflows and enhancing overall project efficiency.  

As a key addition to Qingdao SIMEN PRECAST’s precast accessory lineup, the Rubber Recess Former reinforces the brand’s reputation as a solution-driven 

partner for construction professionals worldwide.
