Concrete vibrating machine.

Concrete vibrating machine.

A concrete vibrator is a machine used for construction-based purposes.

Using vibration to assist concrete during its settling period has proven a worthwhile method that aids in long-term durability. As wet concrete is poured, air bubbles become trapped within the mixture creating cavities or honeycomb-like spaces. Left untouched, “honeycombing” can compromise the cement’s longevity and strength. Vibrators force the trapped air out of the mixture leaving the final product a more compact and level slab. It is not uncommon to see small bursts of air surfacing from the wet mixture when the vibrator is being used correctly.

Don't let any ladies know this stuff

[palominopalomino-kt]

excess vibration will cause the gravel to settle at the botton .

[rexated]

Anyone know if this vibration is needed when using aircrete/foamcrete?

[dirtymikeandtheboyz]

Huh... So that's why women get happy after the fact... Release that wet wet lol

I hate concrete vibrators, I get better results using my hammer to tap on the form
