Vibrating Pokers in Dardy

Get in touch

Concrete is a material which, when treated properly, can provide years and years of use and durability.  However, if you don’t use the right tools, or don’t follow the right processes, you may be left with surfacing that cracks, warps or otherwise damages unevenly.

Along with compaction (https://www.powertoolsuppliers.co.uk/compaction/powys/dardy), concrete vibration is incredibly important if you want it to pour and set evenly.  This is where vibrating pokers in Dardy NP8 1 come in, and where they can be extremely useful.

But what exactly are vibrating pokers?  And why is it so important that concrete is vibrated before it sets?  Let’s take a closer look at this specialist equipment, and why using them is crucial for concrete-laying success. 

As your local experts in construction and power tools, we’re here to give you the full lowdown on everything you can expect from everyday equipment for hire and purchase.

Concrete Vibrating Pokers

Before we look at concrete vibrating pokers in detail, let’s answer the question – ‘why vibrate concrete?’  The answer is fairly simple.  If your surface isn’t vibrated before it sets, you’re at risk of an uneven, poorly-reinforced surface. 

  • Vibration allows for air bubbles to be removed from the mix once it is poured, and also to ensure that the mix itself is evenly laid.

  • You may have tools and equipment to support even laying already, however, vibrating concrete only increases your chances of getting that perfect finish.

  • Surface vibration will also help to strengthen your mix. There is little point in laying a mix at all if it is going to be flimsy or unreliable.

  • Vibration, too, will help to support structures and fittings which may be dependent on it. Therefore, the right vibration tools will help to ensure your site is completely safe from start to finish.

  • Also – who doesn’t love smooth concrete? For the best finish and look, vibration will help to level out the mix.

Vibrating Pokers for Concrete

It’s possible to compact and compress concrete with various tools and systems.  However, vibrating pokers for concrete are amongst the most popular, and the most reliable.  Vibrating pokers in Dardy NP8 1 are used as part of what is called ‘internal vibration’. 

This means that a poker is stuck into the wet mix, where it can then be powered on to steadily vibrate.

The best way to use a poker for vibration is to stagger its removal from the concrete.  By slowly removing the poker from the mix, you will encourage air bubbles to be released.

Air bubbles can provide a major problem when it comes to concrete setting, particularly as up to a fifth of concrete mix may be comprised of air in need of release.

Therefore, it makes sense to buy or hire a vibration system which can be easily deployed and provide instant results.  Pokers are affordable and accessible, and are widely used by industry experts. 

If it’s your first time in shopping around for this type of tool, why not take a look online to see what is available?

High Frequency Vibrating Pokers

Vibration pokers come in a variety of types for various uses and ease of access from project to project.  High frequency vibrating pokers, however, are sought-after for their constant power level, and for the fantastic results they can help to produce.

What defines high frequency pokers is constant speed.  As the closest support network many people have when it comes to supplies, we always recommend to look for pokers which supply relentless power and efficiency. 

To be able to get all the air you need removed from your mix, you’re going to need a tool or system which will work tirelessly for you.

High frequency pokers are brilliant at enduring intense projects and usage.  This means that, regardless of the depth, and regardless of the surface area, you will be able to put a reliable high frequency model to good use each and every time.  However, there are other types of poker which may appeal to you more.

Concrete Vibrating Rod

A simple concrete vibrating rod may be enough for you to even out your mix, and to remove enough air.  You can purchase relatively low-power vibrating pokers which can be operated on a handheld basis.  These are often more affordable than high frequency or heavy duty units, however, in many cases, they will provide a lot more convenience.

It’s always recommended that you look for power and efficiency, as well as durability, when it comes to large-scale concrete vibration.  However, for smaller jobs, a simple handheld rod will often do enough for you. 

If you are looking for a vibrating poker supplier near me and are unsure which tools to pick from, we will always be happy to point you in the right direction.

In any case, it makes sense to err on the side of caution.

Concrete Vibrator

A concrete vibrator, at least in the form of a poker, will have a number of flexible parts.  All vibrating pokers in Dardy NP8 1 will have a power source, for example.  Handheld units will work with a portable motor or engine (https://www.powertoolsuppliers.co.uk/engines/powys/dardy), while others may connect via mains supply.

You can also purchase concrete vibrators and units which are powered by air compressors, and those which run on petrol.  The affordability of these tools can and will vary, as will the cost of running them. 

Therefore, it is always a good idea to look for a system which fits your scenario as much as it does your budget.

Don’t worry!  We have a huge range of tools, systems and accessories which are designed and built to support various concrete mixing needs. 

Therefore, whether you need a smaller, portable model or something a little more powerful, we will always be ready to support you.  Take a look online, or get in touch with us for bespoke advice.

Vibrator Poker in Dardy

A vibrator poker which works efficiently will normally be fitted with reinforced metal and a detachable nub.  These design choices help to protect the device against damage and to help prevent clogging from foreign bodies. 

It is certainly never recommended that you buy a vibrating poker without some sort of cover or nose, as otherwise, debris may end up rendering it slow and ineffective.

You should also think about the size of the poker head while shopping around.  Low volume jobs or thin areas in need of concrete pour will need smaller heads, on the whole, we’d recommend looking at 25mm heads for smaller jobs. 

For greater volumes and surface areas, always look towards the high end of vibrator size.  You can go all the way up to 75mm, and in the majority of cases, it will be worth doing.
