SPECIAL BLIND RIVETS FOR CONSTRUCTION FORMWORK

THE CHALLENGE: fasteners for formwork in harsh conditions

The customer operated a fully automated assembly line for concrete formwork. Main challenges included:

• Automated rivet installation with no manual adjustments.

• Hard-to-reach application areas for the automatic tool.

• Non-standard holes, often not round or with inconsistent dimensions.

These conditions made standard fastening systems unreliable, causing alignment issues, mechanical weakness, and poor surface finish.

SARIV SOLUTION: custom blind rivets for formwork

To meet the customer's needs, Sariv developed a special rivet for formwork with advanced technical features:

• Custom countersunk head to prevent protrusions or surface marks in the concrete.

• Grooved mandrel for secure grip during automatic application and to avoid slippage.

• Special rivet head designed for tight spaces in automated tools.

• Extended mandrel to reach difficult or deep areas.

• Oval head shape to fit irregular or variable-size holes.

These technical adaptations improved the accuracy of installation and fastening quality, even with high geometric tolerances.

BENEFITS ACHIEVED

Thanks to Sariv's tailored solution, the customer was able to:

• Optimize automated processes

• Reduce production waste and downtime

• Achieve strong fastening ideal for reusable formwork

• Enhance the visual quality of the final concrete product
