What is a Volumetric Concrete Mixer? Ep.1

[@ab3gu3nth3r]

Hi John, thanks for sharing your knowledge. I just came across your channel now and I look forward to learning more. I am on my way to go look at a used truck I hope to buy that’s exactly like yours. If all goes well, Seminole, Texas will have one or more of these trucks servicing the area soon.

I’m starting my career in this volumetric mixer Monday. I’m a seasoned ready mix operator so this will be a promotional move. My company bought a 2021 Cemetech C60 sitting on a Mack tractor body.

Great camera work and explanation. Interesting that the height of those gates is all that is needed to ensure proper sand and rock proportions.

[@chrisdaniel1339]

Are there any kind of paddles or mixing blades in the mixing bowl or are all the ingredients mixed in the auger itself? Thanks

[@ibralupumbwe5135]

Thank you very much, God bless you, I really want to learn that machine, I use self loader.... From tz🇹🇿

[@garymatusavige3639]

Whats the typical benefits to this over just regular truck is this for small less waste

[@martinjenkins1827]

You pay for what you use normal bottle mixer lorry you for the hole lot

How do you empty the sand/stone box if a customer wants to use a different mix? ie. pea stone instead of 3/4"

[@johnneufeld02]

I just turn off the cement then close the sand gate all the way then run the auger and conveyor and just run it until empty, also making sure the water and any admixture's are off too.

Thank you for you amazing video!

Thank you men for the detailed video. Go on. Why do I need a corner fitting on the pipe of the cement feed screw?

[@johnneufeld02]

I just put that there as a vent, when you use a plastic sock on the cement discharge it creates a bit of a vacuum as the powder falls through, so a vent at the top let's it breath and the powder falls freely down into the mixing bowl.

@@johnneufeld02 Thank you friend. I have a Global imm mixer which belongs to Cementech and we are just starting to launch it.

[@johnneufeld02]

Ok those Global's are good mixers, I have run some of those as well, I wish you the best of luck with your mixer.

[@kyerrman]

What make of Mixer is this and why did you choose this model over the others?

[@kyerrman]

Great video by the way.

[@johnneufeld02]

This is an Omega Mixer, I didn't exactly choose them I started working for this company and that's the mixers they had, so I learned on them, I've never actually ran any other brand.
