    摘要: A solution dispensing system for injecting a fluid into a concrete mixing container, comprising of a sled including a housing; at least one spray head; a solution line coupled to the housing and to the spray head adapted to spray fluid into the concrete mixing container; a support structure adapted to attach to an external rigid frame and aligned with a hopper of the concrete mixing container; a guiding mechanism facilitating a raising and a lowering of the sled into the hopper of the concrete mixing container; and a supply source including a container and a pump adapted to regulate a flow of the fluid in the solution line where the sled is lowered into the hopper of the concrete mixing container and the fluid is delivered to a drum of the concrete mixing container through the spray head.

    摘要: Aspects involve estimating transitions in properties of a concrete mixture prior to batching and during transport of the mixture from a first location, such as a concrete batch plant, to a second location, such as a job site and controlling a mixture of ingredients for concrete in response. A tool may execute a method for estimating an initial temperature at batching and a change in temperature of the concrete mixture during transport due to the exothermic reaction of the mixture, percentages and types of ingredients of the mixture, and/or environmental factors along a transit route. A control system at the concrete batching plant may control one or more components of the concrete batch plant in response to the estimated temperature change, such as a dispenser of an ingredient of the mixture and/or a heating or cooling mechanism to adjust the temperature of an ingredient of the concrete mixture.

    摘要: A method of operating a concrete batching plant includes loading aggregates into an aggregate storage bin divided into compartments from the ground level by wheel loader, discharging the material from storage bin through batching gates fitted into a weighing hopper, hydraulically lifting the aggregates after being weighed in the weighing hopper, conveying cement through a screw conveyor into a cement weigher and discharging the same into a mixer, mixing and compacting the aggregates for a pre-determined time, discharging the mixed and compacted concrete into a concrete carrying hopper, transporting the concrete carrying hopper to a desired height, and loading the concrete into mobile transit mixer or concrete pump, based on the site requirement.

    摘要: The fiber boxes (60) each contain fiber (62) and are removably mounted to a fiber injector (9) for injecting the fiber (62) into a material flow stream. The fiber boxes (60) each have an enclosure (61) for containing the fiber (62), preferably a single fiber (62). An aperture 70 provides a feed hole (70) for passing the fiber (62) from an interior of the enclosure (61) to an exterior of the enclosure (61). Contacts (64) having ends disposed on an exterior of the enclosure (61), spaced apart for registering with mating contacts (54) on a fiber distribution ring (40). A frangible element (68) extends between the contacts (64) and provides electrical continuity between the two contacts (64), such that when the fiber (62) is fully withdrawn from within the enclosure (61) the frangible element (68) separates and breaks electrical continuity between the two contacts (64).
