Separate production of lightweight aggregate concrete blocks - a list of equipment and materials

This building material is classified as "light" concrete and is very popular among private developers.And the reason is not only in the many virtues that distinguish the product.Lightweight aggregate blocks are attractive by the fact that it is possible to organize their independent production, with uncomplicated equipment.

This is especially valuable if the delivery of products to the place of work is associated with certain difficulties.For example, a long distance from the point of sale, which increases the transport costs, the complexity of the entrance to the place of unloading of goods, and others.

Argued that "samopal" does not meet the requirements that apply to the wall materials.This is not true.For such negative reviews, but in fact, the anti-advertising, first of all need to "thank" the private producers, and sometimes simply "handicraftsmen" who do not pay attention to the technology of manufacturing, as production takes time.For some of the people who make the blocks are not "for itself", the product quality is far from the first place.

And many private developers are taken for the manufacture, is not fully understood all of the recommendations and advice of experts.If done correctly, the result is excellent.By the way, building blocks, which are made by yourself can be a lot better in performance than purchased, as some manufacturers do not just stick to technology, and deliberately violate it, in such a way to achieve lower production costs and increase the profitability of sales.

It is clear that we need raw materials and related equipment for the manufacture of self-keramsit.Let us examine them in detail.

Materials

main components are granulated calcined clay (filler) and a binder (a mixture of cement and water).To improve the quality of the finished product and apply various additives (mainly - plasticizers).The last should be used, if the production area occupies a small area.Plasticizers promote earlier strengthen keramzitoblokov, therefore, they will not "stale" on the job site, and go to the business faster.

As for cement, the experts recommend the M400.If you use another, you should do recalculate the proportional ratio of the components.For example, if a mark "300", its proportion should be increased (approximately 15%).Read more about the brand of cement, read here.

equipment

machine on the market for sale has a lot of models.We must assume the equipment is intended for any purpose.

one thing - to build a house, and another - to establish their own small production.Master practitioners argue that today there are many good local facilities and do not recommend to "chase" for imported equipment.I spent money on it himself hardly justified, since no "sverheffekta" should not be expected from them.

What is the "plus" purchase of equipment?

• Along with him comes the full package of appropriate documentation.Moreover, not only the "mechanics" issues, but also on the manufacturing technology.
• Purchase implies the possibility of obtaining a comprehensive consultation and technical support.At least, during the warranty period.Although the major manufacturers "will not abandon" the buyer and at the end of this period, the contract on the after-sales service.
• can do special orders and, if need some non-standard equipment.It will cost a bit more expensive, but it will solve a lot of problems, as in the construction of needed products of different sizes.

pay off in less than a year with good utilization data installation.In addition, vibrostanki are not only used for the production of keramzitoblokov.In a sense, they are universal in application - are suitable for the manufacture of breeze blocks and a number of other products.

not for advertising, but only as a "visual aid" that the reader can navigate the value of the relevant mechanisms, are some examples.

«Hephaestus-1»

This plant is capable of a single 8-hour working day "give" up to 160 items with the parameters of 39 × 19x19 cm. It does not take a lot of space (0.06 m3), and its weight(21 kg) allows you to carry it alone, making it possible to work without an assistant.Production is carried out on blocks 1 pcs.at a time.With the included vibrokryshka, 1 form and additional elements for the interior equipment.

Price - 8850 rubles.

There are also more productive installation of this brand, which allow the simultaneous production of several blocks.But their cost is naturally higher.For example, the article on the 3 forms will cost 22,900 rubles.Apart from them, complete a special device that allows to produce hollow blocks.If necessary the unit 6 forms, it will cost approximately 2,000 more.

«Strom»

This model with greater capacity (from 400 to 1200 pcs. Per shift).

cost ranges (set) 13 850 - 28 600 rubles.

Vibrostanki series "RMU»

deciphered as "small-sized hand-setting."Its size and weight allow to transport the product in the trunk of a car.Power not exceeding 200 watts.Work from the usual single-phase socket of 220 V.

Model "1" costs 13 000, "2" - 15 980 rubles, "3" - 18 790 rubles.

You can use cheaper devices - vibration tables (described here), but the quality of the finished products will be significantly lower.

Mixer

If a small volume of production is planned, it is sufficient if the capacity of the drum will be from 0.2 to 0.5 m3.For "in-line" production of a selected dimensional model.

cost of the cheapest devices with electric starts about 6 000 rubles (drum capacity 65 - 70 l).For individual construction is enough.

should be remembered that in the manual kneading quality of the resulting composition will be low, which will affect the characteristics of the finished keramzitoblokov.

Besides the equipment, you will need:

• premises.Requirements - effective ventilation and heating (if the production is planned to organize a year-round);
• ground to dry products (blocks should be covered or canopy, or film).If for sale, then we also need a "mini-store";
• commercial power.

Recommendations

• When buying equipment to look out for include whether the insertion kit for the production of hollow blocks.This is a very useful device.
• better if forms for pouring the solution will be detachable.This will produce blocks with surfaces free of defects that appear during their recess.
• advisable to buy a production line for small businesses, which are already equipped with everything necessary.But the average cost of such units is approximately 1 000 000 rubles.However, the costs can be reduced by about half, if you build it yourself from a separately purchased units.
