The application of ready-mixed mortar benefits construction significantly. It makes the construction environmentally friendly, mechanized, simple, and more resource-saving.
Construction mortar is a widely used building material in engineering construction. The traditional on-site mortar can no longer meet the requirements of modern construction. Therefore a new type of construction mortar with excellent characteristics suitable for the development of the modern construction industry – ready-mixed mortar or called ready mix mortar is widely used.
These are 9 advantages of ready-mixed mortar.
1. Energy saving and environmental protection
4. Easy to use
6. Improve transportation capacity
8. All-weather operation available
1. Energy saving and environmental protection
Ready-mixed mortar makes full use of industrial wastes such as fly ash, slag, steel slag, stone chips, tailing sand, etc., which can improve the construction performance of mortar while reducing costs.
Compared with on-site mixing, it can reduce the amount of mortar used.
The tanker truck is enclosed for transportation, which reduces the leakage and spillage during transportation.
Reduces the waste of packaging resources caused by using bagged cement.
Reduces project maintenance costs and extends the service life of buildings.
Reduces dust emission, improves construction environment, and realizes green construction.
2. Stable quality
The mortar formulated at the construction site (such as masonry mortar, plastering mortar, ground leveling mortar, and common waterproof mortar) is of unstable quality and uneven strength level, which easily leads to a series of problems such as cracking, hollow drum, and falling off, and has become a common problem of construction quality. Ready-mixed mortar is produced by industrialization, which can strictly control the raw materials and matching ratio to ensure the stable and reliable quality of mortar.
3. Complete range
Ready-mixed mortar includes a wide range of products, which can meet almost all requirements of mortar for construction projects. Such as masonry mortar, plastering mortar concrete interface treatment agent, EPS board bonding and plastering mortar, tile adhesive, self-leveling mortar, interior and exterior wall putty, stucco plaster, finishing mortar, special waterproof mortar, grouting mortar, wall leakage mortar, repair mortar, etc.
4. Easy to use
Ready-mixed mortar can be supplied anywhere and anytime without any material waste, which not only saves raw materials but also facilitates construction management. In the construction site, the use of ready-mixed mortar can avoid the accumulation of a large number of various raw materials and reduce the pollution and impact on the surrounding environment.
5. Improve efficiency
The large-scale commercial production of ready-mixed mortar saves the time of mixing materials on site, and the performance is also improved. Ready-mixed mortar not only improves the production efficiency, but also the construction efficiency. The use of silos or containers to transport ready-mixed mortar, automatic mixing, pumping, and mechanical spraying system further improves the production efficiency.
6. Improve transportation capacity
Ready-mixed mortar uses mechanized loading and unloading, which saves a lot of loading and unloading time, and improves transportation capacity.
7. Reduce storage site
A 30-ton ready-mixed mortar silo occupies only about 5 square meters and can be relocated at will with the needs of the site. In contrast, a 30-ton bagged cement and sand yard occupies about 40 square meters or more and cannot be relocated. If you use ready-mixed mortar, it takes up little space and is easy to use.
8. All-weather operation available
The loading, unloading, transportation, and construction of ready-mixed mortar are almost not affected by the weather. It can be operated in all weather to ensure the progress of the project. In contrast, it is difficult to load, unload and construct bagged cement on rainy and snowy days.
9. Accurate mixing
The ratio of raw materials of ready-mixed mortar is strictly controlled by metering. The advanced mechanized production and construction can make the ready-mixed mortar play a greater performance.
With the development of construction technology, people’s requirements for construction efficiency, environmental protection, and construction quality are increasing. It is the trend to replace the cement and mortar mixed on site with industrially produced ready-mixed mortar.
