FIELD: construction engineering; manufacture of building structures.
SUBSTANCE: proposed method includes preparation of polystyrene concrete mix from binder, foamed polystyrene and water, molding articles from this mixture and heat treatment. Prior to preparation of mixture, foamed polystyrene is subjected to foaming performed at two stages as minimum. At two stages as minimum. At first stage, polystyrene gravel at density of 12-30 kg/cu m is obtained. At subsequent stages its density is brought to 6-11 kg/cu m; polystyrene gravel may be obtained by grinding wastes of articles made from polystyrene to grain composition of fractions to 1-15 mm. Introduced additionally into mixture is air-entrapping additive hardening accelerator and water-reducing additive which are thinned with water. Articles are molded by placing the mixture in metal molds. Mixture is fed to each cell of metal mold by means of hose by forcing it from pneumatic concrete mixer by compressed air. After heat treatment, metal molds containing articles are delivered to demolding station where are subjected to vibration treatment for separation of articles from molds. Then, articles are removed from metal molds. Line proposed for realization of this method includes foaming unit, service bins and proportioners for foamed polystyrene, binder and water, at least one pneumatic concrete mixer for preparation of polystyrene mixture and molding and demolding stations. Proportioners for aqueous solution of hardening accelerator, air-entrapping additive and water-reducing additive, service reservoirs for air-entrapping additive, hardening accelerator and water-reducing additive, screw feeder for delivery of binder to proportioner, vibration table, metal molds with covers, pipe lines with shut-off cocks and swivel chutes, control console and hose. Proportioner is located under service bin forming single reservoir which may be divided by mechanical splitter. Pneumatic concrete mixer is provided with horizontal shaft at volume of 0.6 to 2 cu m. Metal mold is provided with sump having hinged sides, partitions, cargo-gripping mechanism and cover located on sump of cassette. Each cassette is made in form of platform formed by horizontal square sheet and four vertical sheets rigidly secured on horizontal sheet, shifted relative to center axes and interconnected in T-shaped pattern perpendicularly relative to each other forming four cells over perimeter of platform and central cell. Cells over perimeter of platform have three free faces. Cargo-gripping mechanism is located in central cell partitions are mounted between cassettes and are pinched by two vertical sheets. Cover is made in form of metal sheet pressed to upper faces of cells, partitions and sides. According to second version, metal mold has sump and at least one cell heat-insulated articles. Each cell is formed by bottom of sump and two z-shaped profiles clamped together and provided with changeable inserts placed between z-shaped profile. Each z-shaped profile has two side and one central webs. Side surfaces of all webs are perpendicular to plane formed by sump bottom. Changeable inserts are secured on side webs of z-shaped profiles. Each z-shaped profile forms one of subsequent cells by its one cell.
EFFECT: extended technological capabilities; increased productivity; improved quality and enhanced reliability.
