Terrazzo floor has always been loved by people for its beautiful, durable and easy to clean features. Terrazzo tile machine is the key equipment for producing terrazzo floor. Below we will introduce in detail how to use terrazzo tile machine to produce terrazzo floor.
1. Preparation Work
Preparation of raw materials
Cement: Select high-quality cement to ensure strength and stability.
Stone: According to design requirements, choose stones of different colors and sizes, such as white marble, black granite, etc.
Pigment: Pigments can be added to adjust the color of terrazzo.
Additives: Such as water reducer, enhancer, etc., to improve the performance of terrazzo.
Equipment inspection
Check whether all parts of the terrazzo tile machine are intact, such as molds, hydraulic systems, transmission systems, etc.
Ensure that the electrical system of the equipment is operating normally and grounded well.
Clean up debris inside and around the equipment to keep the working environment clean.
2. Production process
Batching
According to the design requirements, cement, stone, pigment and additives are mixed in a certain proportion. Generally, the ratio of cement to stone is 1:2 to 1:3. The amount of pigment depends on the depth of the color, and the amount of additives is added according to the product instructions.
Put the ingredients into the mixer and stir for 3-5 minutes to ensure that all materials are fully mixed and evenly mixed.
Molding
Pour the stirred mixture into the terrazzo tile machine mold. The size and shape of the mold can be customized as needed.
Start the terrazzo tile machine hydraulic system, and the hydraulic pressure forces the mixture to take the shape of the mold to ensure a dense and uniform structure. Maintain the pressure for a certain period of time to ensure correct molding.
After the molding process is completed, release the hydraulic pressure and wait for demolding.
Curing
After demolding, the terrazzo floor needs to be maintained to ensure its strength and durability. The maintenance methods generally include water sprinkling maintenance and covering with plastic film maintenance.
The curing time is generally 7-14 days, depending on the ambient temperature and humidity.
3. Subsequent Processing
Grinding
After the maintenance period, the terrazzo floor is polished. Use a grinder to grind the terrazzo floor surface in coarse, medium and fine ways, gradually improving the surface flatness and glossiness.
During the grinding process, replace the grinding discs of different particle sizes as needed to achieve the desired effect.
Polishing
After grinding, polish the terrazzo floor. Use a polishing machine to polish the surface of the terrazzo floor to make it smoother and more shiny.
During the polishing process, some polishing agent can be added to improve the polishing effect.
4. Precautions
The quality of the raw materials directly affects the quality of the terrazzo floor, so high-quality raw materials should be selected.
When mixing the ingredients, strictly follow the proportion to ensure that the proportion of various materials is accurate.
During the molding process, ensure that the hydraulic pressure is appropriate to avoid insufficient or excessive molding.
When demolding, be careful to avoid damaging the terrazzo floor.
During maintenance, keep the surface of the terrazzo floor moist and avoid direct sunlight and wind and rain.
During the grinding and polishing process, pay attention to safety to avoid accidents.
In conclusion, the production of terrazzo floors using a terrazzo tile machine requires a series of steps and operations. Only by strictly following the operating procedures can high-quality terrazzo floors be produced.
