Vertical Flare

With versatility and durability, Besser vertical wet cast flared end forms have been setting the industry's standards for years. Two styles are available in a wide variety of sizes:

• The widely-accepted full-length flare design
• The half-length flare design, required for certain specifications

All vertical flare forms can be equipped with a permanent bell or with detachable bell and spigot sections. Bell modifications can be made to match individual producer joint requirements. Besser also manufactures wet cast flare forms and equipment for arch and oval pipe.

Horizontal Flare

To compliment to our popular line of wet cast flared end equipment is the efficient, effective horizontal flare form. As with all Besser equipment, these forms are fabricated using heavy gauge steel. Both the core and the jacket are of solid constructions with heavy reinforcement.

Ease of operation has been engineered into the form set. The open top simplifies pouring and vibration results are readily visible. Each core has a machined-taper skirt section to insure proper stripping from the cured concrete.

With the release of two locks, the core is ready to strip, and a standard, hydraulically-activated stripping mechanism is used to free the core from the concrete. Fork guides inside the core facilitate its removal by fork truck.

After removal of the core, the product is lifted from the jacket, which has tapered sides for easier stripping. The pallet and adaptor plate are then removed to complete the strip.
