Optional Equipment
High Production
This option allows the production of up to 60 cubic yards per hour of a typical 5 bag mix as per VMMB Standards. Included in this option is our 9’ x 12” diameter mix auger, Material Feed Flow Control Valve, and a 12-volt Digital Tachometer for accurate control of the desired production rate.
Admixture Systems
Allows the use of liquid admixtures such as Air Entraining Agents, Water Reducers, Super Plasticizers, Accelerators, and Set Retarders. A holding tank is loaded with the liquid, and charged with air pressure from the Mixer Unit. Each tank has an inline Filter, and an electrically triggered valve. This is integrated with the Material Feed Valve to allow the flow of material to stop and start with the other mix ingredients. Flow Meters are sized to meet the delivery requirements of the product being used, with ranges from 1 ounce to 3.5 gallons per minute. Each Flow Meter is certified to meet the tolerance requirements of ASTM, +/- 3%. There are no pumps to flush or maintain, and the air pressure can be used to evacuate the lines for easy draining and cleaning of the system.
Swivel Chute
This Chute System allows concrete to be placed in areas not reachable by fixed chutes. As with the other ZI Chute Systems, it is attached to the Auger and takes up no additional space on the unit when not in use, and requires no additional personnel. A ring is used at the top of the chute, and allows rotation in a 270-degree arc. This enables the concrete to be placed alongside the mixer, and is especially useful in curbing or trenching applications. The Chute angle is adjustable, and it is in a 2-piece configuration that can extend to either 5 feet or 10 feet from the end of the Auger.
Roll & Pour
This option provides the capability to produce concrete while the unit is moving. Used for sidewalks, filling ditches, and curb applications. There are several different models of this option available depending on customer and chassis specifications. The systems hydraulic power may come from a standard or automatic transmission PTO, Repto (rear engine PTO) or from a pony engine. Operator switches will be mounted in the cab for driver operation or may be tether/radio remote controlled for operation outside the cab.
Variable Speed Cement
This option provides the ability to hydraulically control the cement feed with an infinite number of possibilities. This is most commonly used for companies with mix designs which require atypical cement/pozzolan addition rates.
