Why Use a Vibrating Table to Pack Your Concrete Mixes?

If you supply bags of dry concrete mixes, then you need to find efficient ways to pack your products. If you fill bags manually at the moment, then it might be worth adding a vibrating table to your packing production line. What are the benefits of using vibration at this stage?

Speed up the Packing Process

Filling your concrete mix bags manually takes time. Your workers will have to measure out the mix and then fill each bag. They will then have to find ways to compact mixes to fit different packaging sizes.

This part of your production process might not work as efficiently as you would like. You might find it hard to fulfil large or urgent orders on time because of the time it takes you to finish each shipment.

If you fill your concrete bags on a vibrating table, then you reduce the time it takes to fill each bag. As you fill a bag, the table vibrates at your chosen speed. This vibration compacts the dry concrete in the bag so that your workers can skip this part of the job.

Maintain Quality Standards

If you manually fill a bag to the brim with a dry concrete mix, then the weight of your final product might not match your advertised selling weight. Loose and dry materials fill their packaging quickly; however, this is partly because they bring air into their bags.

This air helps fill the bag; however, your finished products might not contain as much of a mix as you expect. If there is too much air in the bag, and your mixes are loose and uncompacted, then you can't fit in the right amount of product.

So, your customers might feel short-changed. They might complain and decide not to buy your mixes in the future.

A vibrating table helps you ensure that your bags of mixes contain exactly the right amount of materials. Vibrations compact each mix in the bag and remove air. This creates space to add more of a mix if you need to.

Add Integrated Weighing

If you have to weigh your bags of concrete mix either during or after the packing process, then your production time increases. Plus, if your weights aren't accurate, then you'll have to go back and fix mistakes before a bag is ready for shipping.

You can buy vibrating tables with integrated scales. These tables compact your mixes; they can also weigh them at this stage. If you accidentally overfill or underfill a bag, then you can adjust its contents before you seal up the product.
