Abstract
The method of treating an aqueous, cementitious slurry, to enhance fluidity, that includes providing a container for the slurry and effecting movement of the slurry via an impeller, in the container, and locating at least one vibrator in the interior of the vessel, and operating the vibrator to transmit vibration to the moving slurry.
Claims63
The method of treating an aqueous, cementitious slurry, to enhance fluidity, that includes:
- a) providing a vessel for the slurry and effecting movement of the slurry, in the vessel, the vessel having an interior, and
- b) locating at least one vibrator in the interior of the vessel, and operating said at least one vibrator to transmit vibration from within the vessel to the moving slurry, to lower the water/cement ratio to or below about 0.30.
The method of treating an aqueous, cementitious, slurry, to enhance fluidity, that includes:
- a) providing a container for the slurry and in which the slurry is moving, and
- b) transmitting vibration to the slurry, to enhance fluidity thereof and to reduce the water/cement ratio of the slurry,
- c) sufficient vibration being transmitted into the moving slurry and from within the container to lower the water/cement ratio to or below about 0.30.
In apparatus for treating an aqueous, cementitious slurry, to enhance fluidity, the combination that includes:
- a) a container for the slurry and means effecting movement of the slurry, in the container, and
- b) other means transmitting vibration from within the container to the moving slurry, to enhance fluidity thereof, and to facilitate lowering of the water/cement ratio to or below about 0.30.
