Abstract
A unit designed to vibrate concrete products includes elements designed to impart asymmetrical vibrations to a mould, the motion in one direction being much faster than the motion in the opposite direction. The unit includes a pair of motors which drive two cams on each of which rests an idle roller, connected via a linkage to a table on which the mould is positioned. The rotation of the cams causes the table to vibrate, causing it to move upwards with strong acceleration and then descend with a slower and more regular motion. This system produces a type of vibration which allows concrete to be compacted rapidly without becoming detached from or partly exiting from the mould.
Claims9
A concrete-vibrating unit of the type including means designed to impart vibrations to a mould (3), which includes means (12, 14, 15) designed to impart asymmetrical controlled vibrations to the said mould with a well5 defined acceleration curve and speed.
Concrete product production plant characterised in that it includes a concrete-vibrating unit in accordance with one or more of the preceding claims, associated with at least one mould.
