How is railway ballast produced?

If there is no ballast, the rails and sleepers are laid directly on the roadbed, and the roadbed may not be able to bear the weight of the train and sink downward. The gaps and texture between the crushed stones of the ballast play a good role in dispersing the huge pressure generated by the passing of the train, and evenly disperse the pressure to the foundation. The elasticity of the ballast can well disperse the vibration and noise of the train, making passengers more comfortable and protecting the roadbed.


The production, storage and loading of ballast are all completed in a dedicated storage and transportation base. The base is generally located in a location close to the railway freight station, which is convenient for production, loading and transportation, and maximizing efficiency.


The stone used to make ballast is natural stone. The raw stones that meet the requirements of hardness, wear resistance, water permeability and other indicators will be transported to the ballast production base after being mined, poured into the ballast production line for crushing.  https://www.lzzgmachine.com/service-parts/product-knowledge/how-is-railway-ballast-produced.html

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...
