Quality improvement
On-site mortar mixing is characterized by unstable quality and significant pollution, making it difficult to meet the functional requirements of buildings. Moreover, it is prone to various quality issues, such as wall cracking, leakage, hollowing, and peeling, among others. Ready-mixed (dry powder) mortar is produced by professional manufacturers in accordance with scientific formulas through precise measurement and large-scale automated production. The uniformity of the mixing is high, and the materials are strictly selected and monitored. The quality is reliable and stable, and it has completely solved the common problem of "difficult measurement and weighing" on site. Therefore, whether it is for masonry sand mortar, plastering or floor mortar, Both its early and later strengths are far greater than those of the on-site self-mixed mortar, and in some cases, they are even several times higher. The safety of the surplus is greatly enhanced, and it overcomes the problem of large overall strength dispersion when using self-mixed mortar. This is conducive to improving the construction quality of the mortar, thereby reducing the amount of rework and lowering the later maintenance costs.
Improved work efficiency
It saves on-site mixing time. The construction process is simple and can be carried out either manually or mechanically. Compared with the traditional mortar mixing method, manual construction can increase work efficiency by more than twice.
Good construction performance
The dry-mixed mortar has been mixed with water-retaining and thickening materials that were previously unusable on site, and air-hardening materials such as lime putty have been eliminated. This makes the mortar's strength more stable, reduces shrinkage, increases adhesion, and is conducive to strength development. Whether in the masonry or plastering construction process, on-site construction personnel unanimously reported that it was convenient to use, labor-saving and time-saving.
Convenient for construction
The dry-mixed mortar has been mixed with water-retaining and thickening materials that were previously unusable on site, and air-hardening materials such as lime putty have been eliminated. This makes the consistency of the mortar relatively stable, reduces shrinkage, increases adhesion, and is conducive to strength development. Whether during or during the plastering construction process, on-site construction personnel unanimously reported that it was convenient to use, effortless to operate and time-saving.
Advantages
If it is special-purpose mortar, due to its high viscosity, it cannot be produced by wet-mixing. Special mortar can only be produced by dry-mixed mortar. Special mortars include the following types: tile bonding mortar, Tang-resistant floor mortar, interface treatment mortar, special waterproof mortar, self-leveling mortar, grouting mortar, external insulation bonding mortar and plastering mortar, polystyrene particle insulation mortar and inorganic aggregate insulation mortar
2. Dry-mixed mortar can be stored for a relatively long time after being transported to the construction site. When needed, water should be added and mixed again.
3. It can be used immediately after mixing and is quite flexible in application, making it convenient for small-batch use.
4. Factory centralized production ensures stable quality. The manufacturer provides a complete set of mobile mortar tanks. Users do not need to add mixing equipment or build mortar pools. 5. The mixing equipment is fully enclosed and will not cause dust pollution.
6. When stirring on site, once the amount of water added is set, it generally does not need to be adjusted, which is convenient for quality control.
7. Especially when producing dry-mixed mortar with machine-made sand, there is no need for sand drying, which can reduce drying costs, save energy and be environmentally friendly. At the same time, using solid waste to produce machine-made sand reduces the use of natural sand and can also enjoy preferential policies for comprehensive utilization of resources.
The impact of dry-mixed mortar application on construction costs
Compared with self-mixed mortar, the advantages of ready-mixed mortar in terms of project cost lie in the following: 1. The storage cost is lower than that of raw materials such as cement and sand.
2. Dry-mixed mortar only needs to be mixed with water in proportion as per the technical instructions, while the manual mixing cost for self-mixed mortar is relatively high. 3. It can reduce the loss and waste of materials during transportation and use. According to statistics, the loss of self-mixed mortar is approximately 20%, while that of dry-mixed mortar is only 3% to 5%.
4. The pre-mixed sand coating has high strength. Under the premise of ensuring quality, the thickness of the plastering layer can be reduced according to the on-site conditions, thereby saving materials.
5. The use of dry-mixed mortar can enhance work efficiency and reduce labor costs.
6. The quality of the pre-mixed sand mask is guaranteed, which can reduce the amount of rework and lower the later maintenance costs. It is predicted. After 50 years of use, the total cost of the initial construction and maintenance of the plastering project carried out with dry-mixed mortar is only 1/20 of that of self-mixed mortar.
