[0002] Recycled concrete aggregate is a recyclable green building material, obtained by crushing waste concrete blocks generated by construction and demolition, and used to partially or completely replace natural aggregate in fresh concrete. However, the surface of the recycled aggregate obtained by simply crushing the waste concrete is attached with hardened cement paste, which usually contains a certain amount of pores and a large amount of hydrated calcium silicate gel, making the recycled aggregate have high water absorption and low strength. The concrete prepared with recycled aggregate has higher water absorption and shrinkage, which will seriously affect the structural strength.

The recycled aggregate after being soaked in water is transported upward by the spiral blades and quickly frozen by the cold air in the central tube.

Compared with the equipment for processing the same material, the present equipment is smaller in size and can also process the aggregate during the transmission process, thereby enhancing the strengthening effect and being more efficient, thus solving the problems raised in the background technology.

[0018] 2. The surface strengthening device and method of the low-density recycled aggregate, through the design of the vortex tube, can utilize the water freezing collision to destroy the porous structure of the mortar, making it easier to peel off the recycled aggregate when it collides with the collision cone later, thereby enhancing the strengthening effect.
