Procedure for mixing concrete 1. Weigh out the designed proportions for a 1.6 cubic foot batch of concrete. a. Divide the water into two buckets‚ one with about 3/4 of the water. If using air entraining‚ put the air entraining agent in the 3/4 water bucket. 2. Put about half the coarse aggregate‚ half the fine aggregate and the 3/4 bucket of water with air entraining in the mixer. 3. Start the mixer and mix until the aggregate is thoroughly wet 4.

RMC or Ready mixed concrete or concrete is manufactured at a batching plant or factory. The mixed concrete is made to a set recipe‚ and then delivered to the desired workplace/worksite by the help of transit mixers. This results in ready mixed concretes which have a precise mixture‚ and this helps achieve specialty concretes to be developed and used on the construction sites. HZS150 Batching Plant Today‚ RMC plants are playing a very important role in building road and civil structures. These RMC
