The Role of the Steaming Wagon in the AAC Block Production Process:
Transports the molded aerated concrete blocks to the autoclave for curing through steam pressure, which is essential for achieving the final strength and stability of the blocks.
- Process It Belongs To:
Autoclaving (Curing) process, specifically for moving green (unhardened) blocks to the autoclave for steam curing. - Related Equipment Before:
Cutting Machine – for cutting the green aerated concrete blocks into the desired sizes before autoclaving.
Transfer Trolley – for moving the cut green blocks to the steaming wagon. - Related Equipment After:
Autoclave – for steam curing the blocks under high pressure and temperature to harden them.
Unloading Equipment – for removing the cured blocks from the autoclave and transporting them to the storage or packaging area.
Structure
The steaming trolley consists of two major parts: the frame and the wheelset.
1. The frame is made of steel, which has the advantages of good rigidity and simple structure.
2. The wheelset consists of a vehicle, axle, and bearing, and the rolling is sensitive and reliable.
3. A special uncoupling shaft is convenient for uncoupling.
Working Principle
The upper part of the frame is loaded with the cut blanks of the two molds in parallel (Note: When loading the first mold, a pad must be added between the frame and the ground to prevent the frame from tilting.)
The trolley runs smoothly on the track, and the trolleys are connected by hooks. When entering the autoclave, the blanks are maintained. When leaving the autoclave, the finished products are transported to the stacking site, and the unhooker removes the hooks.
