How do Manor Mix Concrete do it?

Manor Mix Concrete can produce a range of products from one lorry.

We only use quality sourced and graded sand, aggregate and cement in our lorries.

How does it work?

First, sand and aggregate fall onto a conveyor belt that passes under calibrated strike off gates, and then under the cement bin.

A vane feeder meters the exact amount of cement onto the aggregate. The conveyor then deposits the dry materials into the continuous mixing chamber.  Here metered amounts of water and admixtures, if used, are introduced.

The mixer blends the ingredients in an inclined tube using a steel- bladed auger. Materials enter the lower end and the mixed concrete is dispensed at the discharge end.

Mixing is continuous, producing a steady or intermittent flow of concrete, depending on placement needs.

At any time during production the operator can shut off the mixer and material feed system to stop production or change the mix design.

Because only a small amount of material remains in the mixing chamber, mix changes can be made with little or no waste.

Any unmixed materials remaining in the storage bins after production are used for future pours.

The computerised control unit records the detail of every delivery and issues a printed ticket.

Fresh concrete is stronger and has better workability.
