and aggregates. The loading process takes just 112 seconds, 90 seconds for the slurry, bracketed by the aggregate, which is required in order to carry the slurry into the truck's barrel. Note... that the aggregate begins to load into the mixer truck first. When it reaches the head of its belt, we open the cement gate, start our dedicated water pump and begin making slurry.... The aggregate flow must be sufficient to carry the slurry through the truck's charging hopper into the barrel, so we ensure the slurry finishes before the aggregates. Each batch...

their studies on the effects of high shear mixing of cementitious powders to make slurry and a process they call "two stage" mixing of concrete, which is nothing more than adding... the premixed slurry (stage 1) to the course and fine aggregates (stage 2). For one of their field tests they selected a Hydromix equipped plant to meet the requirements of their tests... - high shear slurry production prior to adding that slurry to the aggregates. All quotations on this page come directly from that report. If you wish to read the full report...

. 1. Just what does the HYDROMIX 3000 do? The HYDROMIX blends high-pressure water and cementitious materials in a high-shear environment into a consistent slurry. It is not intended... to accept aggregates, but to deliver a constant supply of slurry to be ribbon-fed onto the flow of aggregates as they enter the readymix mixer truck. 2. Where does all that water... to make slurry and is then thrown onto the aggregates as they enter the mixer truck. There can be excellent mixing at the point of contact and the aggregates help to carry the slurry...

that one valve delivers to the slurry mixer, the other around the mixer either in front or behind. Click picture to enlarge Click picture to enlarge Click for more plant pictures.... Here is a handy form for providing Hydromix with plant dimensions to try to ascertain clearances with our slurry mixer installed in your plant. For accuracy you should contact us...

Hydromix load time will depend upon correct (recommended) positioning of the unit and the truck hopper acceptance of the aggregate feed rate and water/cement ratio. ...
