In playgrounds, in parks, squares, green areas, in private areas – everywhere you can find paving slabs everywhere.
These concrete products are ideal for operation in street mode. Firstly, they are durable, t. To. have high strength, hardness and wear resistance. Secondly, the tile is easily and quickly laid, a special qualification is not needed for work, but to eliminate the disabilities of the masonry or carry out repairs is easier. Thirdly, if desired, this building material can be made at home – such a mini production is quite capable of giving stable income.
Technology and equipment
If we compare the complexity of equipment for the production of tiles and labeling industrial equipment, then the second clearly loses to the first due to a high level of complexity.
As already mentioned, the production of paving slabs can be established in your own yard. This method is called “vibration”, and for its implementation you need a portable concrete mixer and vibroostol SV-3. The price of these installations is quite affordable, moreover, they can be rented for a while.
The technology of vibration very simple. First, prepare the concrete mixture in a concrete mixer and bring it to the necessary consistency. The less water is in the solution, the darker the color of the tile will be.
Then, the forms are installed on the vibro -stolk where the resulting mixture is poured. We wait for the solidification, knock out the finished product and begin to make the next batch. So that the process goes faster, it is necessary to work together and three, and knead the solution in at least two concrete mixers at the same time.
The second production technology is called “vibration pressing”. It is usually used in large factories and factories to organize a specialized line for the production of paving slabs. For small business, this technology is not available, t. To. The equipment is expensive and takes up a lot of space.
The difference in both processes lies only in the method of forming a finished product, which in the second case is accompanied by excessive pressure. Due to this, the number of finished products is increasing.
Nuances of producing paving slabs
Equipment used by private traders is quite standard. But at the same time, some manufacturers confidently sell their tiles, while others are forced to limit themselves only to products for their own use.
The fact is that the technology is easy only in the first glance. Depending on the initial composition of the solution, you can get a finished product with different surface, different shapes, different colors, etc. D. Anyone who knows these nuances – for example, what to add to the mixture so that the tile does not slide when getting wet – he will be able to find the buyer to his product.
Equipment for production from this point of view differs only in scale, but also requires knowledge of the subtleties of the process.
