TOP Polyurethane Water Tank for Long-Term Corrosion Free Reliability The water is carried in a tank in front of the aggregate bins. TOP Quick-Loading Stone & Sand Bins Separate, open bins carry sand and stone. Adjustable controls meter the correct quantity of sand and stone for a given mix design. Mix design charts indicate the exact settings. The specially designed conveyor then carries the sand and stone to the mixing auger at the rear of the unit where the required amount of water is added. TOP Bin Vibrators Keep Material from Bridging Bin vibrators automatically cycle during operation of the mixer. TOP Optional Storage for Admixtures or Color Liquid ad-mix systems add the required quantities of admixture (accelerators, retarders, air entraining agents, colors, etc.) to the concrete mix at the point where mixing begins. A single or dual admix system equipped with variable speed admixture pumps will automatically proportion admixture. TOP Agitator Maintains Even Flow of Cement Rotating action of cement agitator assures consistent flow of cement to metering wheel. TOP Metering Wheel Internal Vibrator for Smooth Accurate Cement Flow The cement is carried in a closed, watertight bin behind the aggregates. Cement is added at a constant rate by a precision cement metering system that is machined to .005 tolerances to provide complete and accurate measuring of cement to the overall aggregate mix. TOP Dual-Ram Power Swing for Easy Chute Positioning Patented dual-ram auger swing for long-term dependability and precise control for accurate concrete placement. TOP Auger Thoroughly Blends Sand, Stone, Cement, Water, and Admixture All materials are thoroughly mixed in the auger to produce high quality concrete. This process allows for perfect mixing, completely distributing ingredients throughout the entire mix with optimum uniformity. TOP Auger Bearing and Boot Adjustments Mean Tight Tolerances Our patented adjustable bearing and adjustable boot helps keep the auger close to the boot, which extends auger life and contributes to a uniform mix. TOP Remote Control Switching for Easy Operation and Safety A remote control switch may be used to start and stop the mixing operation. TOP Elkin Hi-Tech Inc.
