High Stiffness Aluminum Frame Formwork Custom Size Concrete Wall Shuttering

Aluminum Frame Formwork: Modular Shuttering for High-Rise Concrete Walls

Key Features & Functions

• High Stiffness & Manual Handling: The rigid aluminum frame profile ensures minimal deflection under concrete pressures up to 60–90 kN/m². Despite its strength, the system is lightweight enough for crane-free assembly, with standard panels weighing ~25–35 kg/m² for easy site maneuvering.
• Modular Flexibility & Fast Cycle: Standardized widths (300–1200mm) and heights allow for versatile grid assembly using pin-and-wedge connections. This modularity enables rapid stripping and re-propping for fast floor-to-floor cycle times.
• Replaceable Face & Durability: The system uses bolted-in 15–18mm phenolic-coated plywood or steel faces. Worn panels can be refurbished by replacing only the face sheet, extending the aluminum frame's lifespan to 500+ cycles.

Technical Parameters

• Frame Construction: 6061-T6 aluminum alloy frame (100mm standard, 140mm heavy-duty); yield strength ≥240 MPa.
• Load Capacity: Safe working load typically 60 kN/m² (standard), upgradable to 90 kN/m² for high-pressure applications.
• Surface Options: 15mm/18mm phenolic film faced plywood or 4mm steel plate face.
• Typical Panel Size: 900mm x 2400mm, 1200mm x 2400mm (custom sizes available).

Competitive Advantages

• Lowest Total Project Cost: Despite a higher initial investment, the combination of extreme reusability, reduced crane costs, and faster construction cycles delivers the lowest cost-per-pour for repetitive high-rise projects.
• Plaster-Free Finish: Produces a consistently smooth, high-quality concrete surface that often eliminates the need for wet plastering, saving significant time and material costs.
• Global Standard & High Residual Value: Compatible with international Mivan-style systems, and the aluminum retains high scrap value at end-of-life, offering excellent return on investment.
• Optimal Lifecycle ROI: Offers the best balance of initial cost, high reusability (frames last for hundreds of cycles), and low operational expense, outperforming both steel and wood in repetitive projects.
• Labor & Time Savings: The lightweight design and pin-and-wedge connection system significantly reduce erection and stripping time compared to traditional formwork.
• Zero Waste & High Scrap Value: Aluminum frames are 100% recyclable at end-of-life, providing substantial residual value and supporting sustainable construction practices.
• Advanced Production & Experience: Advanced production equipment and 20 years of production experience with experienced engineering teams.
• Full Cycle Project Services: Comprehensive services to ensure smooth application of aluminum frame formwork throughout your project.
