During this process one should also keep in mind that over vibration should normally be avoided during the compaction of concrete. If the concrete mix is designed with low workability, over vibration simply consumes extra power of the vibration, resulting in the wastage of energy.
There are different types of concrete vibrators that work on diversified manners. It can be electric or air driven. The vibrators and their functionalities are specified below:
Formwork vibration
A formwork vibrator works with precast concrete. Formwork vibrators are affixed on the outside of concrete formwork, depending on the thickness of the concrete. Formwork vibrators can also be named as shuttering vibrators.As the vibrators are clamped externally on formwork, the inside concrete mass has a direct effect on it.The compaction time or vibrating time in the formwork vibrator is 1mins to 2mins.The formwork vibrator can vibrate at a speed of 9000 cycles per min.
