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:
“There can be no difference anywhere that doesn’t make a difference elsewhere—no difference in abstract truth that doesn’t express itself in a difference in concrete fact and in conduct consequent upon that fact, imposed on somebody, somehow, somewhere, and somewhen.”
—William James (1842–1910)
