Concrete products are widely used in the construction of a wide variety of buildings. If you use steam generator for concrete production for drying, you can significantly reduce the time from pouring the product into a mold, to using it directly in construction and installation works. In addition, additional equipment improves the properties of reinforced concrete structures.
Main technical characteristics
In order for concrete to gain the necessary strength, it must set during the drying process. If you do not follow the technology, cracks may appear on the surface of the products. They not only negatively affect the appearance of the product, but also significantly reduce its strength. The steam generator contributes to faster production of reinforced concrete products due to the following technical characteristics:
- Gas, diesel fuel, fuel oil can be used as a heat carrier.
- Isolation of a certain amount of steam per unit of time.
- The temperature ranges from 117 to 170 degrees Celsius.
- The presence of pressure in the chamber has a positive effect on the speed of the drying process.
- Preparation of ingredients for the future concrete mix.
Important: the last function is used in winter, when the production of concrete structures is associated with certain difficulties. The steam generator will minimize the time to heat up frozen gravel, sand and other fillers. To ensure year-round production of demanded reinforced concrete products for construction and installation.
The principle of operation of a steam generator
Almost anything can act as a fuel that heats up gases passing through water jackets. But, in order to save money and environmental friendliness, it is better for this purpose to choose a steam generator running on natural, liquefied gas or diesel fuel. After heating, the water turns into saturated steam. The operation algorithm is as follows:
- steam is distributed through pipelines for the needs of the enterprise;
- exhaust gases, having lost heat, are removed outside the premises;
- additional water is supplied automatically as needed;
- the steam generator is started and stopped by the operator;
- high-quality protection against emergency situations.
The steam generator is connected to a special room where concrete products will dry. If necessary, in order not to cool the equipment to low temperatures, it can be temporarily switched to the heating state.
