What is Concrete and How Does a Volumetric Mixer Work?

[@danheat4402]

This guys genuinely seems like the soundest guy!!! Honest, professional, knowledgeable and all round good guy!! Wish my boss was like this guy!!! Plus gota respect the graft this guy actually does!!

[@bentleymtafu23]

Dan Heat fully agree mate. Picked so many things from him which have helped me, especially a fun and robust work environment. 😎

[@DannnyL]

Are you kidding? I remember in one of his videos one of his workies came over and said "Good morning boss" and his reply was "Yes...what is it?". Acts nice for the camera but I bet he's a nightmare to work for.

[@danheat4402]

Stop being a hater mate! Your pointing out 1 time he wasn't pleasant?!? Are you kidding?! Guy runs a business not a meet and greet centre so jog on you hater!

@@DannnyL and as I've said, you've pointed out one example!! If you showed me more than just one time he wasn't pleasant then yeah, maybe I'd listen. But you banging on about 1 time! 1time!! So just stob being salty m8! As I've said, guy runs a business not a meet and greet!! Try working for my boss that couldn't care less!

This is actually quick becoming one of my favourite channels. Real crisp presentation of what could be a dull topic.

[@ciaran.laverty]

This was actually really interesting. I work as a site engineer for a principle contractor and I am constantly ordering concrete. Mostly dealing with bottle mixers, but occasionally volumetric and never really knew how they work. You learn something new everyday!

[@markfryer9880]

Hi from Australia. Haven't seen a concrete truck like that before in Australia, but I will keep my eyes open. Good thing about those trucks is that you don't have to worry about a batch of concrete going off in the mixer barrel. Our mixers are getting so big that we now have semi trailer barrel mixers running around.

[@nevtinnion9431]

Only just started watching your videos after seeing you on with Yanni. Excellent content and delivered in a very professional, informative manner

[@kavinash7848]

i have never seen a volumetric mixer in my country. Its informative.

[@tylertempah]

Working for reinstatement for utilities I’ve used the volumetric and drum mixer but the volumemetric is so much better because you can change the wetness where as if you have drum if it’s too wet you still have to use it and pay for it

[@kennymichaels9438]

Thank you so much for your videos. Please explain how you make those huge concrete blocks

I studied about construction for 5 years and works in the industry for 9 years now and i never ever heard about this method of concrete batching.. this is really interesting

It appears you have 100% sand in both sides of the hopper. Where is the coarse agg? And how much admixture does it carry? Pozzolans?

I no I'm late but what's a schwing concrete pump is it different to the boom or the same as starting with a firm and just wanted a heads up

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Daniel great video, volumetric mixers are a cracking bit of kit, you pay for what you need we use them all the time unless we have a massive pour with cube test involved, mind you last time i did one of them was two years ago on piling and ring beams all the best Tony.

[@SunTzu192]

Can you compare price for concrete from volumetric truck mixer and the normal stationery one?

[@ajc7166]

Water content also determines the strength, tell em about how it takes time for the concrete comes to full strength. Do you do foam concrete, some may find that interesting. great vids keep them coming.

[@markfryer9880]

@@takendowntoday3284 I think that you are correct. It is probably for a site carpark or high traffic zone to keep dirt and mud under control.

[@MrZachgonz]

Do they have these types of vehicles in the US? I have never seen one like that on the road.

[@ForensicCats]

Ashville, actually, the aggregates count for strength and the mix ratio of aggregates and water content is critical. Of course base / ground conditions and ambient temperatures are critical... Fly me over and I would love to show you how awesome concrete can be... I would first set you up with some testing facility to fine tune your mixes...

[@trinitylandscapingandexcav7965]

We are interested in getting into volumetric mixers. We get our concrete from a ready mix outfit now but with how busy its been its been a scheduling nightmare. How do you like them? Are they worth the investment with all the extra moving parts? Is the concrete as good as the ready mix trucks? Any info would be great!

What is the max load for a volumetric lorry plz any1? Cheers 👍

[@kyerrman]

Great video Daniel. I have run a volumetric mixer before and waiting for my own first unit to start a business with it. It looks to me your sand and stone are premixed on site before it is loaded into the volumetric mixer, is that correct?? And what mixers are you running Reimer?? CemenTech??

[@leesmith9222]

I have to point out that ' bottle mixers ' as you call them don't keep concrete wet .... i drive one and have done the last 12 years and all they do is agitate it ... it will still dry out and go hard even with the barrel turning which is why we have 2 hours from time of loading to delivering the load and washing out .... if we are kept waiting or have a breakdown while loaded it can become a very costly problem ... not fun being in one of those barrels with 8 cubic metres of rock hard concrete with only a small kangol to try get it out lol

[@emilchernickysonsbuildersi8837]

I'm really curious what is happening in that last pour. I've never seen concrete just run out like that without any forms, nobody screeding it, just random edges, and the sub grade doesn't even look flat.

[@bernardgarrett3897]

Normally concrete like that is called "blinding". It is a base to work from to construct formwork. Or as there isn't any steel mesh or bars, it is probably just going to be a hard standing. Without steel reinforcement it will probably crack in time.

[@MyOutdoorVideos]

You make it sound so interesting Daniel. 👍

[@RoadMonkey34]

How do you deal with "certificate" for concrete? You used to be in UE and concrete has to have "papers" to sale.
