Abstract
A method for the application of hydrous mineral binder compositions which contain fibres. An aqueous accelerator is mixed with the aqueous binder composition in a mixer shortly before the application. The method is very robust and makes it possible to quickly produce even large moulded bodies having a uniform surface and very good strength development properties.
Claims13
A method for applying a fiber-containing building material, comprising
- providing a hydrous mineral binder composition, at least one aqueous accelerator for setting of the hydrous mineral binder composition, and fibers,
- feeding the hydrous mineral binder composition;
- to a continuous mixer comprising
- a drive,
- a mixing region comprising at least one inlet and at least one dynamic mixing element and
- a conveying region connected to the mixing region and comprising at least one conveying device and an outlet,
- the hydrous mineral binder composition being conveyed through the at least one inlet into the mixing region,
- feeding the fibers into the mixing region of the continuous mixer,
- feeding the at least one aqueous accelerator into the mixing region of the continuous mixer,
- mixing the at least one aqueous accelerator with the hydrous mineral binder composition and the fibers in the mixing region of the continuous mixer to provide an accelerated fiber-containing mineral binder composition,
- conveying the accelerated fiber-containing mineral binder composition by means of the conveying device to the outlet, and
- applying the accelerated fiber-containing mineral binder composition,
- wherein the dynamic mixing element comprises a stirring shaft having stirring elements, the stirring elements taking the form of pegs, and a distance between adjacent stirring elements being at least 60% of the length of the longest fibers.
