Deep vibrators are specialized construction equipment that is designed to compact concrete mortar during the construction of floors, walls, foundations, reinforced concrete and monolithic structures, and similar structures. Such a device is needed in order to increase the strength and reliability of buildings and buildings. After all, the better the concrete, the longer the structure will last.
And on an industrial scale, the high quality of the concrete mixture is important for the preservation and safety of human life during the construction of structures such as dams, tunnels, bridges and others. Next, we will consider professional and amateur deep vibrators that can be used and used by ordinary people who do not have special knowledge and skills in the construction and manufacture of monolithic and reinforced structures, structures and buildings.
Content
A concrete mortar, in its essence and purpose, is a composition, a homogeneous binder mass based on water, a mixture of sand, crushed stone, cement, consisting of lumps and particles of various sizes. To ensure the high quality of concrete, it is necessary that its constituent components are tightly connected to each other, and there are no air bubbles and cavities between them, thereby increasing such characteristics as strength and durability.
For the manufacture of such high-quality concrete mortar, construction equipment such as a deep vibrator is used. The device affects the slurry of concrete by oscillating waves during vibration, which contributes to the settling of high-density particles and the release of air bubbles. The result is a homogeneous mass of concrete without air pockets or other defects inside the mortar. The use of deep vibrators helps to increase the bearing properties of large-scale concrete structures. The unit is intended only for use with thick concrete, ideal for pouring a monolithic foundation or wall formwork.Downhole equipment is equipped with a long or short soft sleeve, which is used to ensure the evenness of the concrete surface during the pouring of walls or foundations, respectively.
Let us consider in more detail what happens during the operation of the equipment. The operation of downhole equipment performs the following main functions:
The reliability of concrete lies in the uniform distribution of loads throughout the volume of the mixture. The properties of vibration contribute to the filler with the same density to fill the volume of the filled void.
When a homogeneous mass of concrete vibrates in the solution, pressure arises, which undoubtedly helps air bubbles to break through the thickness of the concrete to the outside. The fewer empty cavities in concrete, the stronger and more reliable it is.
Vibration also contributes to the filling of voids that have arisen after the preparation of the container for pouring the solution, which will ensure a reliable setting with the contact surface.
The internal vibrator may include the following types of drives:
Diesel or petrol drives are equipped with engines based on the principle of internal combustion of the corresponding fuel. The huge advantages of such drives are their autonomy and the ability to work in any environmental conditions. The disadvantage is the regular waste of money on diesel or gasoline fuel.Due to the release of toxic gases resulting from the combustion of combustible fuel, internal vibrators with diesel or gasoline drives are not recommended for use in closed and unventilated rooms to exclude the possibility of poisoning the working personnel. If we compare diesel and gasoline equipment, then a vibrator operating on the basis of diesel fuel is much more powerful and economical, but more expensive in price.
The electric drive that drives the internal vibrator is very popular and widespread due to its simplicity and operation. Electric motors from a common network of 220 V operate directly from the outlet, and motors with a voltage of 380 V operate through a transformer that reduces the voltage to 48 V. The disadvantage of such a deep vibrator is the inability to operate the equipment without being connected to an electrical network. Connecting the vibrator to an electricity generator will help solve this problem.
According to the method of vibration, deep units are distinguished into high-frequency, pneumatic or mechanical.
The power drive of this vibrator is small in size. The unit is very easy to operate, has a flexible hose up to 20 meters long. From the name of the vibrator, it is clear that its operation is based on high-frequency vibration, which is obtained using a converter that turns 50 Hz of the general network into 200 Hz. This converter can be either installed inside the vibrator system or a separate plug-in module.
Converters as a separate unit are more common due to the convenience of equipment repair.Do not disassemble the sleeve and do not solder the conversion circuit, which is almost impossible to find unless there is an identical vibrator model, but simply replace the block, which is much easier and safer. Basically, a high-frequency unit with vibration depth has the ability to connect to several sockets of a common network, which allows you to simultaneously connect up to 6 flexible hoses with vibrating tips to it. This design will allow a whole team of builders to process a large amount of concrete mortar, which reduces the duration of work and increases labor productivity.
The principle of operation of a pneumatic vibrator is the operation of compressed air, which comes from a compressor. Smaller compressors, such as those for car tires, painting equipment, and so on, are not suitable for concrete processing. The power of a pneumatic vibrator directly depends on the ability of the compressor equipment to compress the air leaving it as much as possible. The vibrator itself has a small cost than the compressor unit. It is advisable to buy a pneumatic vibrator if you already have a compressor and other pneumatic equipment, such as bolt cutters, jackhammers, and others.
The most popular type of vibrator with little efficiency. The design includes a power drive, a flexible shaft and a mace. During rotation, the concrete solution is compacted and distributed into all empty cavities. As a power drive, an electric motor is usually used, to which a flexible shaft is attached. The shaft consists of a protective housing that ensures the safety of a person during the operation of the vibrator, inside which a cable is located, with its help rotation is carried out.
Vibration mace, located at the end of the cable, can be easily removed and replaced with vibration nozzles of other diameters, if necessary, which are included in the delivery. An important requirement in the operation of a mechanical vibrator is to exclude the possibility of shaft bending at the point of its attachment to the power drive, which will help to avoid overloading the engine. To solve this problem, the manufacturers of some models have come up with and introduced into the package a device for hanging the vibrator on the back of the operator.
In order to choose the right deep vibrator, you need to consider how much work you will have to face and what needs to be processed: a beam, a foundation, a slab, and the like. After designating the purpose and direction of work, it is already possible to determine the technical characteristics of the deep-seated unit, such as the type of drive, engine power, length of the flexible shaft, club diameter, vibration frequency, and others.
First you need to decide on the type of power drive. If there is access to the electrical network, then you can choose an electric motor. If not, a fuel-based, diesel or gasoline engine will do.
The power of the power drive is also an important characteristic when choosing a deep vibrator, which is in the range of 400-1500 W. The quality and duration of work depends on it. There are more powerful engines that are used in the construction of large-scale structures.
The length of the soft shaft is up to 12 meters, which depends on the depth of the internal vibrator.
The choice of the diameter of the vibrotip depends on the thickness of the concrete layer and is 0.25 of it. In general, tips are supplied with diameters from 28 to 60 mm.
Be sure to include a passport for the product, a certificate of conformity, a warranty card. The price of downhole equipment directly depends on the manufacturer of the product and the technical characteristics of the product, which ranges from 5000-7000 rubles, depending on the manual or industrial vibrator.
