What This Formwork Anchor Cone Does
This heavy-duty formwork anchor cone locks tie rods in position and maintains precise alignment during the concreting process. As a result, contractors achieve consistent wall thickness, reduce concrete leakage, and remove tie rods more easily after curing.
Key Benefits of Formwork Anchor Cone
-
Manufactured from high-grade steel or ductile iron for durability
-
Ensures accurate tie rod alignment in formwork systems
-
Features zinc-plated coating for corrosion resistance
-
Compatible with 15mm and 17mm tie rods
-
Designed for multiple reuse cycles on construction sites
Where and Why Anchor Cones Are Used
Formwork anchor cones play a key role in wall and column shuttering, especially where surface finish quality is critical. Therefore, contractors use them to improve accuracy and efficiency during concrete work.
They help to:
-
Create precise tie rod passage holes in concrete walls
-
Prevent leakage around tie rod openings
-
Allow easy tie rod removal without damaging the structure
-
Deliver a clean and professional concrete surface finish
In addition, the conical design allows tie rods to slide out smoothly after de-shuttering. At the same time, the zinc-plated finish protects the anchor cone during repeated use on demanding construction sites.

With more than 30 years of manufacturing experience, AMCO Exports supplies high-quality scaffolding and formwork accessories used in real construction projects.
We manufacture anchor cones with strict quality control to ensure durability, dimensional accuracy, and consistent performance on site. As a result, infrastructure contractors and construction companies trust our products across India and export markets.
Compatible Formwork Accessories
Anchor cones work together with other essential shuttering components to maintain structural alignment during concrete pouring.
These include:
-
Formwork Tie Rods – used to hold formwork panels together
-
Wing Nuts – used for tightening and locking tie rods
-
Waller Plates – used to distribute load evenly across formwork panels
Therefore, using high-quality accessories ensures stable shuttering and prevents leakage or misalignment during RCC construction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the primary function of a formwork anchor cone?
A formwork anchor cone creates a clean tapered passage for tie rods through concrete walls. This allows easy tie rod removal and prevents concrete from sticking to the rod.
Q2: Why is zinc plating important for anchor cones?
Zinc plating provides corrosion resistance, allowing the formwork accessory to be reused multiple times without rusting or seizing.
Q3: What sizes are available for different tie rod requirements?
Anchor cones are available for 12mm, 15/17mm, 20mm, 25mm, and 32mm tie rods. Custom sizes can also be manufactured for specific project requirements.
Q4: How does an anchor cone improve concrete finish quality?
The cone creates a neat tapered hole that prevents concrete spalling during tie rod removal, resulting in a cleaner concrete surface.
Q5: Are you manufacturers of these formwork accessories?
Yes. Amco Exports is a manufacturer and supplier of anchor cones, tie rods, wing nuts, and other formwork accessories for construction projects.
