Production Equipment
Lightweight Concrete Production Equipment
To make good consistent lightweight concrete products requires 3 things
A good foaming agent
- since it is the foaming agent that influences most of the key benefits to the finished product (ie. insulation, sound and fire ratings)
- And helps ensure production/ product consistency
Correct production equipment
- Lightweight Concrete is not the same as normal weight concrete and without the proper equipment – production consistency and economics are difficult to achieve
Production System
- Without a production system and a quality control system in place, producing lightweight concrete becomes difficult to control
At K Block, we want our customers to become successful. Therefore, we recognize the above issues and sell either full production packages (all equipment) or just the key equipment. Included with each package is our service package (including mix designs and raw material evaluation).
Lightweight Concrete: Key Production Equipment
- Since lightweight concrete does not have any coarse aggregate, a lightweight concrete mixer has to be able shear the cement particles in order for the mix to achieve its optimum strength and durability
- Mix the foam into the slurry quickly and uniformly (note: being made of air, the foam tends to sit on the top of the mix unless the mixer “works properly”)
- Produce a uniform lightweight concrete weight
K Block Lightweight mixers perform all three above functions and more
K Block Lightweight Concrete equipment has been used, by us and our customers, for more than 15 years in the market. And combined with K Block Foaming Agent, lightweight concrete produced using K Block Production Equipment can meet the demands of any project or product requirements.
High Volume: Fully Automatic Production Equipment:
Since the automatic plants are fully integrated – we only supply this type of plant as a complete system.
Features:
- 3.7 m3 twin shaft, high speed compulsory mixer
- Fully integrated control system using PLC, HDMI multi-screen control panel, memory for 10 mix designs and emergency cut-off switch and load cell systems
- Moulding and De-moulding systems with control panels
- Transfer and ferry cart, and rail systems
- Unique Block Cutting system to quick and ensure complete cuts, rough block surface and minimal waste and maintenance
- Packing wrapping and curing systems – with optional low pressure steam curing tunnels
Manual and Semi-Automatic Plants
- Since lightweight concrete does not have any coarse aggregate, a lightweight concrete mixer has to be able shear the cement particles in order for the mix to achieve its optimum strength and durability
- Mix the foam into the slurry quickly and uniformly (note: being made of air, the foam tends to sit on the top of the mix unless the mixer “works properly”)
- Produce a uniform lightweight concrete weight
K Block Lightweight mixers perform all three above functions and more
- A good rough surface for the mortar and plaster to bond to
- Must cut the blocks completely – so that blocks are completely separated
- Must be quick, and both easy to use and operate
Note: All Lightweight Concrete Production Equipment includes one of our service packages to help the customer produce lightweight concrete efficiently, consistently, and economically
