How to wash sand to meet the standard of making concrete

 As construction sand, washed sand needs to meet certain standards. It is necessary to ensure that the sand washing machine has a good washing effect, the ratio of fine sand to coarse sand is reasonable, and the sand making raw materials should be selected from rocks with higher hardness. 

The basic requirements of concrete for sand are as follows:

   1. The total surface area of the sand particles should be small, that is, the sand should be as coarse as possible.

In concrete, cement paste is effectively bonded through the surface of aggregate particles. The smaller the total surface area of the aggregate, the more economical the cement is.

  2. The sand has a good particle size distribution. Particle gradation refers to the situation where sands of different particle sizes are matched with each other. The size of the sand particles is reasonably matched to achieve step-by-step filling and reduce the porosity to achieve the highest possible density. It can be seen that the use of well-graded sand to prepare concrete not only saves cement with low void ratio, but also reduces the amount of cement and the content of cement stone increases the density of concrete, thereby enhancing the strength and durability.

Working principle and parameters of industrial slurry pump

In order for the industrial slurry pump to fully play its role, we need to understand the working principle of the industrial slurry pump: https://www.lzzgmachine.com/products/supporting-equipment/slurry-pump.html Under the action of centrifugal force, the liquid is thrown from the center of the impeller to the outer edge and gains energy to leave the outer edge of the impeller at a high speed and enter the volute pump shell. In the volute pump case, the Fluid is slowed down due to the gradual expansion of the flow channel, and part of the kinetic energy is converted into static pressure energy. At last, it flows into the discharge pipe and is sent to the place where it is needed. When the liquid flows from the center of the impeller to the outer edge, a certain vacuum is formed in the center of the impeller. Above the liquid level of the storage tank is greater than the pressure at the pump inlet, the liquid is continuously pressed into the impeller. LZZG slurry pump pe...

Sandblasting nozzle classification and use

Using high-pressure air as a power source to drive abrasive particles to hit objects within a certain range will produce a great impact. The function of the sandblasting nozzle is to spray abrasive particles on the object evenly and efficiently. Sandblasting nozzles can be divided into: straight hole sandblasting nozzle, Venturi sandblasting nozzle , double Venturi sandblasting nozzle, angle sandblasting nozzle Straight hole nozzle: There are only contraction section and straight section inside, the structure is simple and easy to manufacture. This kind of nozzle cannot overcome the vortex phenomenon existing at the inlet end, and the pressure loss is large; the abrasive velocity at the outlet is less than 100m/s under the pressure of 0.7MPa.

How to build a sand and gravel aggregate production line

 High-quality aggregates (coarse aggregates and fine aggregates, fine aggregates are sand): First, the shape of the particles should be good, and the senses should be good; second, the gradation should be reasonable. Especially for machine-made sand, high-quality machine-made sand products must not only meet the sand requirements of commercial concrete, but also meet the requirements of higher standards for ready-mixed mortar sand (ready-mixed mortar is an inevitable requirement in the future. On-site stirring will be phased out over several years). Reasonable continuous grading can meet the needs of high-quality concrete. Both are indispensable. The fifth condition for the success of the sand and gravel aggregate production line is that the aggregate product of the production line must meet the requirements of soil content. High-quality concrete has higher and higher requirements for soil content. The seemingly simple problem may be the reason for the failure of the project. Ther...
