Abstract
Introduction. Mixing of dry components in mixers is one of the most important stages of any technological process in the manufacture of a composite material. To date, various technologies use a wide variety of mixing equipment, which is characterized by different principles of mixing and design solutions. Of particular interest for the preparation of high-quality and homogeneous mixtures for heat-insulating purposes is a pneumatic mixer with a spiral energycarrying tube. The article presents the results of studies using the method of mathematical planning of the fullfactor ПФЭЦКРП24 experiment, which makes it possible to most adequately assess the ongoing processes while minimizing systematic errors.Materials and methods. In the work, ЦЕМ 0 42,5Н ГОСТ 31108–2020 Portland cement with a specific surface area of 308 m2 / kg, sand of the Volsky deposit were used as raw materials for testing. Expanded vermiculite obtained as a result of heat treatment of natural vermiculite at a temperature of about 700°C was used as a light filler.Results. Heat-insulating mixtures prepared in a pneumatic mixer with a spiral energy-carrying tube ensure the production of heat-insulating mortars with stable density values of 1420 kg/m3, having sufficient compressive strength of 3.3 MPa, and guarantee high heat-shielding properties in building structures.Conclusion. The developed design and the conducted studies made it possible to establish the high efficiency of the proposed mixer, which provides a uniform distribution of the particles to be mixed, high homogenization and the creation of conditions for accelerating the physicochemical interactions in the created mixture with subsequent mixing of the prepared mixture with water and the formation of the required internal structure of the created composites.Keywords
