Clay Sand Mixing Equipment Technical Parameters
Clay sand mixing equipment is an important piece of equipment for the manufacture of clay and sand based products. It is used to produce a range of clay, soil, and other sand based materials in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors. Clay sand mixing equipment is available in a range of different models, all designed to meet the specific needs of the user.
The most common types of clay sand mixing equipment are the rotary drum mixer, the spade mixer and the hopper feed mixer. The rotary drum mixer works by rotating a mix of clay and sand in a barrel, at a high speed. This ensures a homogenous blend of the two components, and is preferred when producing large quantities of clay and sand based material. The spade mixer works in a similar way, but by gently stirring a consignment in a tray, instead of rotating it. The hopper feed mixer requires several spades to mix the material for a consistent blend.
The output of clay sand mixing equipment is determined by the quantity of raw material that is run through the machine. Generally, smaller machines are capable of producing a higher output than the larger models, however the output of a given machine is still limited. The output of clay sand mixing equipment is highly dependent upon the type of clay and sand used as inputs, and the number of passes the mixture is subjected to.
The power of a given sand mixing machine is determined by the weight of the raw materials it is able to handle during a run. The larger machines have larger conveyors belts, which are more suited to the processing of larger quantities of material. The smaller machines usually carry a smaller belt and therefore their enclosed power is reduced. Usually, machines with higher powers are able to produce larger quantities of clay and sand based materials.
The mixing speed of a clay sand mixing machine is determined by the speed of the motor, and this is usually specified as a measure of revolutions per minute (RPM). The mixing speed is commonly increased when running clay or sand with higher moisture contents, because the raw material needs to be thoroughly mixed for an even blend. Generally, lower powered machines have slower mixing speeds, meaning that a large number of passes may be necessary.
The throughput capacity of a given clay sand mixing machine is the volume of materials it can process per hour. This is generally a function of the speed of the motor and the size of the conveyor belts. If a higher output is desired then the operator would need to increase the throughput capacity of the machine.
Safety is an important consideration when handling clay and sand, and all clay sand mixing equipment features several safety features. All machines feature a door guard, which prevents access to the interior of the machine while it is running. The interior of the machine is also kept dust free through the use of air filters. Additionally, some machines have a low noise rating, making them suitable for use in enclosed environments.
Overall, clay sand mixing equipment is a simple, sturdy and essential piece of equipment for the manufacture of clay and sand based products. It is capable of producing a range of clay, soil, and other sand based materials in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors. Clay sand mixing equipment is available in a range of models with varying powers, speed and throughput capacities, allowing users to select the machine that best meets their own individual requirements.
