High-Frequency Vibrator Iron HKM50PSK
Product Overview
The IRON HKM50PSK Formwork External Vibrator is an external vibrator that efficiently consolidates concrete using the high-frequency vibrations generated by its high-frequency motor. It eliminates manual formwork tapping and enables reliable concrete placement in challenging areas such as columns, beams, and half walls. In addition to enabling a high-quality concrete surface finish, it helps reduce labor requirements and lower overall project costs.
It installs quickly and easily on formwork, simply insert the wedge between the plywood panel and a steel pipe or square pipe. The adjustable wedge plate allows compatibility with both Ø48.6 mm steel pipes and □60 mm square pipes.
Key Features
Simply Insert and Start Concrete Placement
Simply insert the IRON External Vibrator between the plywood panel and a steel pipe or square pipe to transmit vibration to the concrete. Easy repositioning helps improve job site efficiency. It provides effective vibration coverage equivalent to one formwork panel. After confirming proper concrete fill, the unit can be quickly repositioned without disturbing the formwork.
Requiring no dedicated operator, the IRON External Vibrator helps reduce labor requirements and improve concrete placement efficiency. As a result, the IRON External Vibrator has earned the trust of concrete workers and is widely used on job sites.
Compact Yet Powerful Vibration
Equipped with a compact, high-frequency motor, the IRON External Vibrator ensures efficient vibration transfer to the formwork for reliable concrete consolidation. The powerful centrifugal force enables effective vibration transmission over a wide area.
Helps Prevent Cold Joints and Honeycombing
Cold joints and honeycombing are common issues that can negatively affect concrete quality and appearance. To help prevent these defects, effective use of the IRON external vibrator is recommended. A cold joint occurs when successive layers of concrete fail to bond properly. This is often caused by poor concrete flowability or inadequate consolidation.
The IRON External Vibrator helps improve concrete flowability, filling performance, and uniformity for better concrete consolidation. This helps ensure complete concrete filling, reducing the risk of cold joints and honeycombing.
Consistent Quality with Reduced Labor Requirements
Even on projects that traditionally rely on a large number of workers for manual formwork tapping, this formwork vibrator helps mechanize concrete placement, delivering consistent concrete quality, reduced construction time, and improved on-site productivity.
Compatible with both Ø50 mm round pipes and □60 mm square pipes
Simply repositioning the wedge plate allows compatibility with both Ø48.6 mm steel pipes and □60 mm square pipes. This eliminates the need for separate units for different pipe sizes, helping reduce acquisition and maintenance costs while saving valuable workspace and storage space.
Lightweight Aluminum Alloy Wedge Section
The aluminum-alloy wedge section is approximately 0.5 kg lighter than the previous model, improving handling and ease of installation. The lighter weight makes repositioning easier, while the aluminum-alloy construction prevents rust.
Dedicated Twist-Lock Plug for Enhanced Safety
The dedicated twist-lock plug features a secure locking mechanism that helps prevent accidental disconnection. By reducing the risk of unexpected power loss, it improves both connection reliability and job site safety.
Connect up to five units with a dedicated branch cable
The dedicated branch cable features five outlets, allowing up to five IRON external vibrators to be connected and operated from a single power source.
