1. Steam curing landscape bricks
Landscape brick is a kind of brick that has become more popular in recent years. It is mainly used in the laying of municipal gardens, squares and other places, and has a good decorative effect. In addition to aesthetics, high-quality landscape bricks emphasize its heat insulation, water absorption, wear resistance and pressure bearing capacity. The maintenance process of landscape bricks directly affects the performance of landscape bricks. Many landscape brick manufacturers choose to use steam curing.
2. Steam drying, higher strength
Common drying processes for landscape bricks include high-temperature kiln drying and steam drying. When landscape bricks dried in high-temperature kilns are used as pavement bricks, they are not frost-resistant, easy to weather, easy to grow moss on the brick body, and have a short service life. the
The use of steam to maintain landscape bricks does not require fire firing. The high-temperature steam generated by the steam generator is used for standard maintenance in a relatively high temperature and humidity environment, which accelerates the hardening of landscape bricks and can reach the specified strength standard in a short period of time.
The landscape bricks cured by steam have higher strength and better resistance, and they also have the performance of heat insulation and sound insulation. After soaking in winter rain and snow, absorbing water, freezing and thawing, there is no damage on the surface.
Steam curing, better water absorption
In addition to the hardness required to achieve the specified strength by steam curing landscape bricks, water absorption is also an important consideration. There are open and closed pores of various pore sizes in the landscape brick products, and the porosity is about 10%-30%. Porosity and pore structure directly affect the quality of landscape standards.
The constant temperature and humidity steam generated by the steam generator can evenly and continuously act on the interior of the brick body, allowing the product to harden under standard conditions, ensuring that the exterior and interior of the preform are heated evenly, and improving the air permeability of the product. With steam-cured landscape bricks, the accumulated water on the brick surface in rainy days can quickly flow into the drainage system.
3. Steam curing, high efficiency and short cycle
Traditional brick maintenance is prone to quality problems such as burnt, burnt, dry grain cracks, etc., and steam curing basically does not cause defective products.
It is understood that the use of steam to maintain landscape bricks can not only guarantee the quality, but also shorten the production cycle. The thermal efficiency of the steam generated by the steam generator is very high, and the steam curing process can be completed within 12 hours in a sealed environment, which can shorten the production cycle to a large extent.
