After application this screed is brought to a shine with a power float and pan. In some cases this screed can be applied to garage floors or outside areas where suitable. The truss screed can come with self-propelled winches that can, as Southern Tool states, "save labor." It can also have a vibratory action that helps to compact the concrete as you screed it. Thanks to the truss design that stabilizes it, it can span wide areas without twisting or torque. The truss screed, like the roller screed, is capable of screeding a wide area-up to 65 feet. This screed can also be used on inclined surfaces. Like a vibrator, the roller screed compacts the concrete as it revolves. However, like a mechanical screed, it also has a motor which causes the roller to revolve in the opposite direction than its being pulled. Like a hand screed, it rests on the concrete form as it's dragged across the concrete. The vibrating process is necessary, for it helps to push the coarse aggregates contained in the concrete downward, thus consolidating and compacting the concrete.Ī roller screed can be 6 to 43 feet long and has the form of a long, seamless pipe. When hand screeding, it's necessary to follow with a vibrating machine. Since the mechanical screed is capable of vibrating the concrete while it screeds, which saves a step in the process of finishing the concrete.
This screed can be used on wider surfaces and is able to include vibration as well. The screed rests on the edges of the concrete form as it moves across the surface of the concrete, thus filling in any voids or removing an access.Ī mechanical screed is advancement on a hand screed. Two workers draw the screed across the surface of the concrete in a sawing motion an inch or so at a time. However, screeds like these are not effective for surfaces more than 30 feet wide, though 10 feet is the optimum size.
This screed resembles a long board with two handles that extend upwards at each end. Thanks to being made of magnesium it is not only light but capable of being up 24 feet long. It deserves a category all to its own thanks to its distinctive characteristics.

When these are sufficient for mixing general concrete mixes and mortar which are of a fluid consistency, screeds mixed using free fall mixers are often found to be of poor quality, weak and crush easily under impact.Ī magnesium screed is another form of a hand screed. Free Fall Mixers: Sometime we use free fall mixers for larger quantities of screed at the work site.

Hand Mixing: This is suitable only for very small areas and is not recommended for bigger projects, as the work is strenuous and the estimated quantities and manual errors while mixing can seriously affect the quality of the screed.ģ.

Pan Mixers: These are portable forced action mixers which are ideal for producing high quality screed mix at work sites where the use of bigger equipment's is difficult.Ģ. Screed Pumps: These are generally used for forced action mixing of large quantities of screed at the work site. Forced action mixers are usually of two types: Forced action mixing blends the cement & mix homogeneously and is ideal when additives or admixtures are to be added. The three methods that we generally for site mixing of screeds are:įorced Action Mixers: Forced action mixing is the most efficient and economic method for producing high quality screed mixes on site. Site mixing of screed is a very efficient and economic way of screed mixing and is suitable for most projects, provided the screed is force action mixed and the work is handled by a skilled work force.
