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.

Maintenance and storage method of vibrating screen motor and common troubleshooting

The service life of the vibration motor determines the operating life of the entire screen. Therefore, in the normal production, we must always pay attention to whether the working state of the vibrating screen equipment is normal, whether the vibrating motor is in good working condition, timely check and solve some small abnormalities and faults, and do a good job of cleaning and maintenance, because this can greatly increase the vibration screening. Machine and vibration motor life. dewatering screens supplier Maintenance storage precautions during vibrating screen motor operation The equipment can not be completely dust-free, but also has a harsh environment and dusty conditions. The vibration motor is airless and heat-cooled. It relies on natural cooling, so it must be specially maintained. The following is the maintenance content. 1. It is necessary to pay attention to whether the vibration is abnormal during the use process; 2. Always check if the bolts used in the m...

300t per hr chalcopyrite washing equipment

Chalcopyrite is a copper-iron sulfide mineral. It often contains trace amounts of gold and silver. Crystals are relatively rare and are tetrahedral-shaped, mostly irregular granular and dense massive aggregates, as well as kidney-shaped and grape-shaped aggregates. Copper yellow, often dark yellow or mottled. The streaks are black with a greenish tint. Chalcopyrite is a relatively common copper mineral, which can be formed in different environments, but it is mainly the product of hydrothermal action and contact metasomatism, and it can often form deposits of a certain scale. The origin is all over the world. In industry, it is the main raw material for copper smelting. In the field of gemology, it is rarely used alone, occasionally as a substitute for pyrite. In addition, it often participates in the composition of some colored stones, inkstones and jade. The high-efficiency spiral chalcopyrite washing machine is mainly used in the washing, grading, impurity removal, and the washing o...
