A Volumetric concrete mixer is a mixing device that measures the raw materials using volume rather than weight.
The volumetric mixer blends the concrete mixture using an auger or a paddle or a drum device to mix the ingredients with water.
The volumetric mixing process starts with a batch metering system that allows the volume of raw materials to be measured prior to entering the mixing chamber. This process can be as simple as using a measured bucket, to highly sophisticated and computerized batch plants that feed the correct volume.
Famous quotes containing the word concrete:
“To step over the low wall that divides
Road from concrete walk above the shore
Brings sharply back something known long before
The miniature gaiety of seasides.”
—Philip Larkin (19221986)
