Concrete screeds and vibrators
Concrete screeds and vibrators are two types of tools used in the construction of concrete structures. Their main function is to achieve a smooth and compact surface. On the one hand, concrete screeds are used to level and smooth large areas of fresh concrete, while concrete vibrators are used to compact fresh concrete by eliminating air pockets that may be present within the material.
Each type of tool has some important characteristics, and from Intermaquinas we want to explain what they are so that you can choose the one that best suits your needs.
Concrete screeds have 3 important characteristics.
- Length: Concrete screeds usually have removable sections to adjust their length according to the need of the moment to facilitate handling and adaptation to different jobs.
- Straight profile: The design of concrete screeds consists of a flat and straight surface to level the concrete and eliminate irregularities to ensure a smooth surface.
- Ease of handling: They have to have ergonomic handles or grips that allow a comfortable grip so that operators can handle them with ease.
Concrete vibrators have 4 important features.
- Vibrating motor: The motor that concrete vibrators are equipped with produces high frequency vibrations. They are available with electric, gasoline and even hydraulic motors.
- Vibrating rods: Internal concrete vibrators include vibrating needles that are inserted into the fresh concrete to transmit the vibrations. They have different lengths and diameters, depending on the thickness of the concrete and the work to be done.
- Vibrating heads: Some external concrete vibrators use vibrating heads placed on the surface of the concrete that move along the concrete generating vibrations.
- Vibration control: Many concrete vibrators include a vibration control system to adjust the intensity of the vibrations, so that the compaction process can be adapted to the different types of concrete.
