Deep vibrators rating for 2020

Deep vibrators are specialized construction equipment designed to compact concrete mortar in the construction of floors, walls, foundations, reinforced concrete and monolithic structures and similar structures. Such a device is needed in order to increase the strength and reliability of structures and buildings. After all, the better the concrete, the longer the structure will stand.

And on an industrial scale, high quality concrete mix is ​​important for the preservation and safety of human life during the construction of structures such as dams, tunnels, bridges and others. Next, we will consider professional and amateur deep vibrators that can be used and used by ordinary people who do not have special knowledge and skills in the construction and manufacture of monolithic and reinforced structures, structures and buildings.

The principle of operation of the deep vibrator

A concrete solution, in essence and in its purpose, is a composition, a homogeneous binder mass based on water, a mixture of sand, crushed stone, cement, consisting of lumps and particles of various sizes. To ensure high quality concrete, it is necessary that its constituent components are tightly connected with each other, and there are no air bubbles and cavities between them, thereby increasing characteristics such as strength and durability.

For the manufacture of such a high-quality concrete solution, such construction equipment as a deep vibrator is used. The device acts on a mushy concrete solution by vibrating waves with vibration, which contributes to the settling of high-density particles and the release of air bubbles. As a result, a homogeneous mass of concrete is obtained without air bags or other defects inside the solution. The use of deep vibrators helps to increase the load-bearing properties of large-scale concrete structures. The unit is intended only for use with thick concrete, ideal for pouring a monolithic foundation or wall formwork. The downhole equipment is equipped with a long or short soft sleeve, which is used to ensure that the surface of the concrete is even during the pouring of walls or foundations, respectively.

Let's consider in more detail what happens during the operation of the equipment. Downhole equipment operation performs the following main functions:

• Sealing solution

The reliability of concrete lies in the uniform distribution of loads throughout the entire volume of the mixture.The vibration properties help the filler to fill the volume of the void to be filled with the same density.

• Air outlet

When a homogeneous mass of concrete vibrates, a pressure arises in the solution, which undoubtedly helps air bubbles break through the concrete to the outside. The fewer empty cavities in concrete, the stronger and more reliable it is.

• Filling cavities

Vibration also helps to fill the voids that have arisen after preparing the container for pouring the solution, which will ensure reliable adhesion to the contacting surface.

Differences between deep vibrators on the power drive

The structure of the deep vibrator can include the following types of drives:

• Diesel;
• Petrol;
• Electric.

Diesel or petrol drives are equipped with engines based on the principle of internal combustion of the respective fuel. The huge advantages of such drives are their autonomy and the ability to work in any environmental conditions. The disadvantage is the regular waste of money on diesel or gasoline fuel. Due to the release of poisonous gases resulting from the combustion of combustible fuel, deep vibrators with diesel or gasoline drives are not recommended for use in closed and unventilated rooms to exclude the possibility of poisoning of workers. If we compare diesel and gasoline equipment, then the vibrator based on diesel fuel is much more powerful and more economical, but more expensive in price.

The electric drive that powers the vibrator is very popular and widespread due to its simplicity and operation. Electric motors from a common 220 V network work directly from the outlet, and 380 V motors - through a transformer that reduces the voltage to 48 V. The disadvantage of such a deep vibrator is the inability to operate the equipment without being connected to the electrical network. Connecting the vibrator to an electricity generator will help solve this problem.

Differences in downhole equipment by vibration method

By the method of vibration, deep-seated units are distinguished into high-frequency, pneumatic or mechanical.

1. High frequency vibrator

The power drive of this vibrator is small. The unit is very easy to operate, it has a flexible hose up to 20 meters long. From the name of the vibrator, it is clear that its operation is based on high-frequency vibration, which is obtained using a converter that converts 50 Hz of the general network into 200 Hz. This transducer can be either installed inside the vibrator system or as a separate plug-in module.

Converters as a separate unit are more common due to the convenience of equipment repair. Do not disassemble the sleeve and do not solder the conversion circuit, which is almost impossible to find, unless there is an identical vibrator model, but simply replace the block, which is much easier and safer. Basically, a high-frequency unit with a vibration depth has the ability to connect to several outlets of a common network, which allows you to simultaneously connect up to 6 flexible hoses with vibration tips to it. This design will allow a whole team of builders to process a large amount of concrete solution, which reduces the duration of work and increases labor productivity.

2. Pneumatic vibrator

The principle of operation of a pneumatic vibrator is the operation of compressed air, which comes from a compressor. Low-power compressors, such as those for car tires, paint equipment, etc., are not suitable for concrete. The power of a pneumatic vibrator directly depends on the ability of the compressor equipment to maximally compress the air leaving it. The vibrator itself has a low cost than the compressor unit. It is advisable to buy a pneumatic vibrator if you already have a compressor and other pneumatic equipment, such as bolt cutters, jackhammers and others.

3. Mechanical vibrator

The most popular type of vibrator with little efficiency. The design includes a power drive, flexible shaft and mace. During rotation, the concrete solution is compacted and distributed into all empty cavities. An electric motor is usually used as a power drive, to which a flexible shaft is connected. The shaft consists of a protective case that ensures human safety during operation of the vibrator, inside which there is a cable, with its help, rotation is carried out.

The vibration club, located at the end of the cable, can be easily removed and replaced with vibration nozzles of other diameters, if necessary, which are included in the delivery set. An important requirement in the operation of a mechanical vibrator is to exclude the possibility of bending the shaft at the point of its connection to the power drive, which will help to avoid overloading the motor. To solve this problem, manufacturers of some models have come up with and included in the package a device for hanging the vibrator on the operator's back.

Downhole equipment selection criteria

In order to choose the right vibrator, you need to take into account how much work you will have to face and what needs to be processed: a beam, a foundation, a slab, and the like. After designating the purpose and direction of work, it is already possible to determine the technical characteristics of the downhole unit, such as the type of drive, engine power, length of the flexible shaft, diameter of the mace, vibration frequency and others.

First you need to decide on the type of power drive. If you have access to the electrical network, then you can choose an electric motor. If not, a fuel-based, diesel or gasoline engine will do.

The power of the power drive is also an important characteristic when choosing a deep vibrator, which is in the range of 400-1500 W. The quality and duration of work depends on it. There are more powerful motors that are used in the construction of large-scale structures.

The length of the soft shaft is up to 12 meters, which depends on the depth of the vibrator.

The choice of the diameter of the vibrating tip depends on the thickness of the concrete layer and is 0.25 of it. In general, the handpieces are supplied in diameters from 28 to 60 mm.

The delivery set must include a product passport, a certificate of conformity, and a warranty card. The price of downhole equipment directly depends on the manufacturer of the product and the technical characteristics of the product, which fluctuates in the range of 5000-7000 rubles, depending on a manual or industrial vibrator.
