Volumetric Mixers

Volumetric
Mixers

The volumetric mixer is a concrete plant on wheels. Concrete is made to customer specifications right on the job site. The concrete is always fresh, allowing it to reach its full specified strength. Also, since concrete is made only as needed, we can service small jobs or large ones.

We can do standard mixes like regular ready mix, but we also offer a wide range of other products. We can send one truck to do one patio, or we can set up portable silos and loaders on your job site and pour your whole development. Each day Bauman Redi-Mix Concrete is able to create a concrete solution for customers that helps increase their bottom line. Some of the key features that allow this are:

Fresh Concrete
The Concrete is made on location, to your specific needs. The exact water/cement ratio is produced, and there is never a need to add water to old mix. This means the concrete can achieve its peak strength.

Variable Job Sites
Volumetric Mixers are great for jobs of all sizes. Since the mixer produces only the amount needed, it is perfect for smaller jobs. Large jobs can be easily handled with multiple mixers on site.

Multiple Mixes/Slumps
If your job requires different mixes, it can be done with our mixers. Each is made as needed. Slump can change as well.

Environmentally Friendly
If you don’t need it, we don’t make it. There’s no waste. We also offer Green Mixes using recycled aggregates and sand.

The volumetric mixer gives our customers incredible flexibility. Our drivers are fully trained and experienced. Our trucks are maintained and calibrated regularly for the best quality control.

Bauman Redi-Mix Concrete believes that any job can be done, efficiently and with the highest level of care for each customer.

How do Volumetric Mixers Work?

Material Storage

Each concrete ingredient (sand, stone, cement, water, and admixture) is contained in a separate compartment. (1) Sand and stone are stored in opens bins. (2) Cement is stored in a closed, watertight bin behind the aggregates. (3) Water is provided in an auxiliary tank. (4) Conveniently located admixture tanks are integrated into the system. 

Setting The Controls

Once the storage bins loaded, the operator will select the correct mix design for that pour. (5) The sand and stone gate will adjust to their correct position, and admixture and water flow rates are set.

Concrete Production

(6) The operator hits the start button to begin operation. (7) As the sand and stone exit their respective bins, they pass under the “strike off” gates. The materials then pass under the cement bin and falls into the mixing auger. (8) The cement bin precisely meters the correct amount of cement onto the mix. The dual auger cement metering means consistent mix designs within +/-1 percent on every pour. (9) All materials simultaneously enter the continuous mixers where they are thoroughly mixed by CemenTech’s unique mix auger. (10) The homogenous concrete mixture is then carried to the discharge chute. Perfect concrete is produced for each and every pour.
