Introduction

As a new type of building material, ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) has the characteristics of high strength, high toughness, explosion-proof, and durability. It is being widely used in the construction industry. However, in the production process of UHPC, the amount of cement used and the material uniformity directly affect the quality and performance of the building. This article will introduce the application of intensive mixer in the UHPC building materials industry, in order to effectively reduce the amount of cement and increase the uniformity of materials.

The principle of intensive mixer

The intensive mixer is a kind of mixing equipment that works based on the counter-flow principle. It mainly consists of a high-speed rotating rotor and a mixing chamber fixed on the chassis. During the mixing process, the strong shear force and impact force generated by the rotation of the rotor make the materials evenly mixed in a short time. In addition, the powerful mixer also has the advantages of flexible adjustment, easy maintenance, and wide application range.

Applications

A building material company used a intensive mixer to produce UHPC, and achieved remarkable results. By optimizing parameters such as mixing time and feeding sequence, not only the amount of cement was successfully reduced, but also the uniformity of the material was improved. The specific data are as follows:

Cement consumption reduced: Compared with traditional mixing equipment, the intensive mixer reduced cement consumption by 10% to 20% in UHPCC production.

Material uniformity increased: After using a powerful mixer, the compressive strength and flexural strength of UHPC are significantly improved, and the product performance is more stable.

Technical advantages

The intensive mixer has the following technical advantages: 

Unique rotor design: The rotor surface is treated with special materials, which has high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance, extending the service life of the equipment.

Precision instrument configuration: Equipped with advanced control systems and sensors, it can realize automated production and improve production efficiency and product quality.

Advanced control system: Using PLC or industrial computer as the main control unit, remote monitoring and fault diagnosis can be achieved, improving equipment reliability and safety.

Market expectation

With the rapid development of the construction industry, the demand for UHPC continues to increase. As an advanced equipment that can significantly reduce cement consumption and improve material uniformity, the intensive mixer has broad market prospects in the UHPC building materials industry. It is expected that the market size of intensive mixers will continue to expand in the next few years and become an important production equipment in the UHPC building materials industry.

Conclusion

The application of intensive mixers in the UHPC building materials industry has significant advantages and great significance. By optimizing the production process and using advanced equipment, the amount of cement can be effectively reduced and the uniformity of materials can be improved, thereby improving product quality and performance and meeting the construction industry's demand for high-performance, low-cost building materials. With the advancement of technology and the development of the market, the application of intensive mixers in the UHPC building materials industry will be further expanded, contributing to the sustainable development of the construction industry.
