Evaluation of technical condition of stationary concrete made equipment

Due to the high growth rate of construction, the use of modern high-performance machines and mechanisms, improvement of the technology and organization of construction processes, introduction of new advanced forms of work organization with automated systems and computing machinery using, the construction has become one of the leading industries.

As is known, concrete and mortar are the one of the main types of building materials. They are prepared centralized as at large factories, as well at the construction site.

At the enterprises all processes are fully automated with the exception of determining the moisture of aggregates. Beside the fact of reducing the preparation complexity of the concrete mixture the quality of the concrete dramatically improves, as it increases homogeneity.

In Kazakhstan various plants for concrete mixing are being certified. Stationary plants are divided into three categories according to the performance: high, medium and low power. Stationary high productivity plants process 23 000000 m3 per year of concrete mix, and the performance of medium and small plants is 37,000 and 29,000 m3 per year of concrete mix.

To provide concrete mixes facilities the mobile or stationary concrete mixing plants are used.

Concrete plant and facilities may be cyclic (periodic) and continuous. The cycle consists of the three operations: loading of raw materials in the concrete mixers, mixing and unloading of raw materials in the concrete mixer, mixing and ready mix unloading. This scheme allows changing the dosage quickly and issuing within the concrete mix change with different parameters: mobility, brand, etc.

On factories and facilities of continuous dosing process, unloading, mixing and dispensing of ready mix proceed without interruption. Such installations should be appropriately placed where a large number of concrete with the same process parameters are need to be received.

To obtain concrete or mortar of specified composition correctly the measure of the amount of the components prior to entering the mixer has to be set. A predetermined amount of components can be measured in volume, weight or volume of a correcting weight (for lightweight aggregates). Deviation from a predetermined number of doses of the content or another material refers to a percentage. According to GOST 7473-85, permissible error dosage for binders, water and additives is + 2% and + 2.5% for aggregates.

Batchers serve for storage of materials and therefore they have relatively greatest heights relative to dimensions in plan. Batchers have different shapes, as they are used in a various conditions. By the form and terms the batchers are round, rectangular and slotted. Simple batchers are one solid geometry; usually complex ones consist of two bodies. The upper part of the complex batchers is called body, lower part is called bottom. Round batchers have the form of a truncated body and truncated bodies with cylinder, rectangular batchers have the form of a truncated pyramid or prism with its combination. A batcher’s discharge port is on its axis or it is shifted to the side. More complex forms of round or rectangular batchers are rare.

Recently, some enterprises apply equipment for a vibrated method of preparation of the concrete mix. During the vibratory mixing the cement paste has conditions similar to those that arise in vibratory grind with grinding bodies that cause astringent body to be activated, water is evenly distributed in the cement and achieved some of its dispersion. Vibratory mixing is particularly effective for hard mixes with low VTS which are difficult to prepare in a conventional mixer. Vibratory mixed concrete is stronger in comparison to concrete prepared in serials. In addition, the increase of strength depends on the homogeneity of the mixtures. Due to the lack of serial vibratory grinds for the improvement of the concrete mixtures mixing, an additional device that transmits vibratory pulses to the stirred mixture is used.

To ensure a layered expiration of material under normal angles of inclination of the bottom wall (5 ... 10 greater than the angle of repose of the material) the vibrators are applied. Vibrators affect the material through the bottom wall of the batchers, inform to the material its fluidity and provide layering expiration.

Batcher valves prevent self-productive rash of material from the outlet of the batcher or silo, and provide adjustable unloading material. The main requirement for the seal structure is reliability and ease of management. The gate should not be opened under the influence of material falling pieces during loading into an empty tank and the pressure of the material at full load. The most widely used batcher gates are made in the form of valves, gate valves, trays, sectors, chain curtains. Closures are also different in feeders design. They ensure uniform supply of material from the batchers into processing machines or means of continuous transport.

As can be seen from the above material, equipment for making concrete mixed mixture is sufficient as on the device as well on the methods of service and exploitation, and in some cases requires innovative approach to maintain and repair it.
