Concrete requirements for stone powder content in sand

Stone powder refers to particles less than 75μm in artificial sand and mixed sand. Most of the stone powder in artificial sand is fine particles of broken parent rock. Unlike mud in natural sand, their role in concrete is also very different. On the one hand, high stone powder content increases the specific surface area of ​​sand and increases water consumption; on the other hand, the ball effect produced by fine spherical particles will improve the workability of concrete. Therefore, stone powder in artificial sand cannot be regarded as a harmful substance.


The comprehensive impact of stone powder content on artificial sand has been proved by decades of experiments: Guizhou Province began to study the use of artificial sand in the 1970s. When the stone powder content in artificial sand is 0-30%, it has little effect on the performance of concrete, has no effect on the compressive and tensile strength of medium and low-grade concrete, and has little effect on the strength of C50 grade concrete. The shrinkage is close to that of river sand. The experimental research of the Railway Science Institute also proved that the mechanical properties of concrete prepared with artificial sand are better than those of river sand concrete (under the condition that the cement dosage and the consistency of the concrete mixture are equal).

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...
