Are you looking for a concrete supplier in Bushey? Our Volumetric trucks utilise an innovative concrete pumping system that allows us to deliver your concrete to your exact, desired location.  This eliminates the need for wheel barrows and speeds up the whole process making concrete pumping more cost effective in terms of both time and waste product.

Onsite mixed concrete is when a volumetric truck is used to mix fresh concrete at the location where it is to be used. The alternative to this is the barrel concrete supply where the concrete is made in batches and delivered to the site.  Our modern fleet of volumetric mix trucks are able to provide you with fresh concrete mix right on your site. Whatever your requirements are, we can mix various concrete strengths in one delivery. This allows for the composition of the mix to be adjusted at short notice due to changing weather or alterations to construction plans.  Once arriving on site, the ingredients are continuously metered and proportioned through calibrated controls volumetrically into the auger. This in turn homogeneously combines the ingredients to produce concrete. The method allows the operator to mix any amount of fresh concrete on site, to any mix design with no waste. The mix design can also be changed instantly to produce different types of concrete from the same load.

Mixing Concrete on site follows a very simple process. On the volumetric concrete mixer there are three materials within bins. The first comprises of sand, one aggregate and the third being the smallest for cement.  The aggregate and sand pass down a conveyor belt through a series of flow control gates, before entering the mixing bowl chamber, where the cement is then introduced.  With the introduction of cement, water is also added along with any chemicals required in the mix design and glass fibre reinforcing.

The complete material proportions pass through a very aggressive mixing process which is known as a mix screw. Having a serious of paddles, this ensures the concrete is mixed to its maximum potential, achieving a high-quality product.  The concrete is then discharged from the end of screw. At this point the readymix concrete can be dispatched into wheel barrows, pored straight into a foundation or passed through concrete pumps.  There are various admixtures available that can be added to the concrete.

What are the Benefits of Volumetric Vs Ready Mix Barrel Concrete?

Calculating the amount of concrete needed on any given job can be a difficult hurdle. If an error of judgement is made upon ordering, it can not only be expensive, but throw the whole project out of sync.  Our volumetric mixers and pumps by mixing on-site eradicate this issue for any task and are far superior to the Barrel method, where ingredients are mixed at the plant.

This can not only allow you to adjust the concrete mix ratios on site but ensure that the exact amounts are produced ensuring that no part of your order is wasted.  You pay for what you receive, saving you time and money, subject to minimum order values.  As our trucks can carry almost double the amount of concrete than most conventional Barrel Mixers, choosing Volumetric is the perfect solution for any project.
