Product variants

Column formers Tubbox^® – angular

for square and rectangular columns

Special coated inserts in the Tubbox^® "straight-edged" column formers allow the production of columns with square or rectangular cross sections.

The column form has chamfered edges as standard, special versions are available on request.

Column formers Tubbox^® – smooth finish

for circular columns

Use of a plastic insert in Tubbox^® column formers creates a "smooth" concrete surface with occasional blowholes.

Column formers Tubbox^® – spiral finish

for circular columns

Tubbox^® "spiral" column formers produce a concrete surface with a normal blowhole pattern and a slight impression of the helical structure of the pipe.

The column former is an economical and functional solution.

Column formers Tubbox^® – blowhole-free finish

for circular columns

In Tubbox^® "blowhole-free" column formers, the inserted Zemdrain^® CPF liner ensures a largely blowhole-free surface and increases the surface hardness of the edge-concrete layer.

Column formers Tubbox^® – custom shapes

for individual cross-sections as well as conical and angled columns

In addition to round and rectangular concrete columns, Tubbox^® column formers are available in a variety of special forms:

custom cross sections, e.g. ellipses, polygons, L-shapes
conical columns
angled columns
With integrated thermal insulation

We can also produce custom designs according to your preferences and drawings.
