Precast products are all around us and are a vital part of the infrastructure in our modern lives. From skyscraper floors to septic tanks to innovative concrete architectural details, precast concrete is a basic building block in our world. As a builder of precast products, you know how important consolidation of concrete is during placement for achieving a high-quality finished product.
As experts in this industry, our Del Zotto product line includes a concrete form vibrator for creating the strong, durable, blemish-free surfaces you require on the precast concrete products you build. Designed with hands-on experience as our guide, this is a concrete tool every precast contractor and manufacturer needs.
Fresh concrete can contain up to 20 percent air. Removing most of this air is crucial for the finished product reaching required strength, permeability, durability, and desired surface characteristics.
Vibration ensures the liquefaction of mortar and a lowering of the friction in the components of the wet mixture. Aggregates settle while air rises and is released at the surface, producing a smooth, even, and durable surface texture.
How The Concrete Form Vibrator Works
Our US 1600 DZ Electric Vibrator is an optimum tool for precast concrete products. These vibrators clamp in place on the outside of the forms using bolt-on brackets or weld-on plates.
Electric form vibrators are the ideal solution for end products with irregular thicknesses and shapes which cannot be reached with an internal vibrator. Electric concrete form vibrators are also especially useful on thin, in-place pours.
Our 1600 DZ vibrator features:
• A 115 volt, low amperage, universal motor
• Runs on all 110 volt outlets
• Adjustable eccentrics create increased force at a stable frequency
• Heavy-duty construction rated for intermittent use
• Enclosed system protects the vibrator in rough-use work environments and gives you trouble-free service and long-life
• Mounting bolts and cord included
When you order concrete forms from our extensive selection of products, a form vibrator comes with your order. You can also order these vibrators and accessories separately.
There are several methods for attaching the vibrator to the forms. One is with optional weld-on brackets. Another option is using bolt-on plates for mounting the vibrator onto forms.
