Vibrating Screeds

The scope of application of vibrating screeds

Vibratory screedsare also known as levelling screeds or concrete vibrating screeds and are among the most important machines in the field of concrete technology. Vibratoryscreeds are used to pull off and compact previously poured concrete surfaces to the desired height. In order to ensure a constant height, a sliding formwork is often erected for large concrete surfaces, on which the vibrating screed can be placed. For leveling and screeding concrete,vibrating screeds are first placed on the slipform. The concrete is compacted by the vibration of the vibrating screeds and if there is too much concrete, it is pushed away. The result of working with vibratingscreeds is an even concrete surface.

Important aspects when buying a vibrating screed

So vibrating screeds are essential, for evenly high concreting. On Baushop-Express you will find a well-stocked range of concrete equipment with a wide selection of vibratingscreeds. We carry both manual vibrating screeds and motor-driven vibrating screeds. These are powered by either an electric motor, air compressor or gasoline engine. In some models, the drive unit and vibratory screeds must be purchased separately, in other cases, both are sold at the same time. For maximum comfort in use, it is recommended to make sure that the hand-arm vibration is as low as possible. The position and adjustability of the handles directly affect the ease of use of the vibrating screed, as it can then be ergonomically adapted to the user. This not only increases your efficiency when working with concrete, but also protects your health and the health of your employees by avoiding incorrect postures.

In addition, before buying the vibrating screed, it is important to think carefully about the size of the area that will be stripped. After all, the newly purchased vibrating screed must be suitable for the necessary working width. In some screeds, however, the screed blades can be replaced so that the screed can be used flexibly for different working widths. Some vibratory screeds can also be upgraded with a variety of optional extras, such as winches and booms, and thus be perfectly adapted to the respective application situation. However, it is important to ensure that the conversion or replacement of the screed blades is as simple and straightforward as possible. After all, you want to get started as soon as possible on the construction site and not waste your nerves and valuable time on adapting your vibrating screed.

Another important aspect to consider in your purchase decision is the vibration strength of the vibrating screed, as it must be compatible with the strength of the concrete. With most vibratory screeds, however, the vibration strength can also be regulated so that it can be perfectly matched to the concrete thickness at hand. Due to the various adjustment options with regard to the optional extra, the working width and the various operating settings, some vibratory screeds are therefore real all-rounders. If, in addition, the angle of inclination of the vibrating screed can be adjusted, this makes the work much easier.

In addition, when selecting the vibratoryscreeds ,careshould be taken to ensure that especially the parts that have direct contact with the concrete material can be easily cleaned. Since concrete residues are generally not easily removed, a smooth surface, in which not too much material can settle in bumps and crevices in the first place, allows a great time savings in cleaning. If you have to transport the vibrating screed a lot, we also recommend a model with the most compact packing size possible, for example, by a foldable handle.
