The Rapidmix continuous mixing plant is now offering full weighing options for all materials, aggregates, cement and water. Measurement by weight is a critical requirement of specifications and the Rapidmix400CW offers record keeping that is automated, precise and detailed.
The new Rapidmix400CW model now incorporates a 1,200mm belt conveyor between the aggregate hopper and the continuous mixing chamber, and the weighing belt is supported on load cells and this measures the weight, allowing the feed rate of the aggregate to be determined. The new plant also incorporates a cement weigh system, using a rotary valve feeding a weighed screw with twin outlets for discharging into the mixer. The water is monitored through using a flow meter.
The first customer to take delivery of the new model was Rollcon, located in Houston Texas. Rollcon is a premier contractor that specialises in providing quality roller compacted concrete (RCC) paving solutions for both public sector and private industry clients. Rollcon worked with Rapid USA to first demonstrate the new machine, which has now been put into action on the latest phase of the Port of Houston development, producing up to 400tonnes of material per hour.
