HOW VOLUMETRIC CONCRETE MIXING WORKS

Cemen Tech concrete production solutions utilize our volumetric technology which means each pour is the precise mix design and amount, when and where you need it. Mixing with a volumetric concrete truck is less costly, more time efficient, more versatile, and provides a better return on investment when compared with traditional drum mixing. Volumetric mixing means less waste, more flexibility, and total control of your concrete.

Material Storage

(1) Sand and stone bins. (2) Cement is stored in a watertight bin. (3) Water provided in an auxiliary tank. (4) Admixture tanks are integrated into the system

Concrete Production

Operator selects the correct mix design and  (5) sand and stone gates adjust to position, admixture and water rates are set. (6) Press button to start operation. (7) Sand and stone exits bins, pass under “strike off gates” then pass under the cement bin and fall into the mixing auger. (8) Cement bin meters the correct amount of cement into the mix. (9) All materials simultaneously enter the continuous mixer. (10) The homogeneous concrete mixture is carried to discharge chute.
