Admixes by meter & sight glass pump & meter only sight glass, high & low probes sight glass with analog level sensor pump & timer Load cell scale No admixes

Waters: if more than one, does each have its own meter? Describe any special arrangement

Water by: Volumetric meter Scale (see below)
Slump meter Mixer moisture meter Timer
(select all applicable)
Volumetric meter required Meter size (inches)

Describe what ingredients go into each scale. If aggregates are presently fed volumetrically (no aggregate scale) how do you wish to proceed? Not applicable Install a scale hopper Run feeds for preset time Call to discuss

Scale 1 is for (aggregates?)

Scale 2 is for (cements?)

Scale 3 is for (water?)

Scale 4 is for

(If 2 or 3 mixers, fax a sketch of arrangement)

READY MIX, PORTABLE PLANTS
(select all applicable)

Order Entry software
Multiple batches to 1 truck Split water discharge
Start next aggregate batch while cement discharging

ALL PLANTS - OTHER FEATURES REQUIRED
(select all applicable)

Batch reports Totals reports Time & date
Batchlink software Modem fault diagnosis
Slump meter

If using BatchLink database software, estimate length of cable run from batch controller to computer

PRECAST, BLOCK, PAVERS, BRICK ONLY

Mixer - size or output

Mixer moisture meter MasterMix (fast, higher cost) MicroMix (slower, low cost) LeSueur (older system) Have moist. meter already None required Other - explain below

Explain or Have meter-type

Special features (select all applicable): Color by separate controller Range (multiple color sequence) Lightweight cycle Hand add Mixer cleanout stations

Mixer discharges to: Bucket Conveyor belt Holding hopper then conveyor belt Skip hoist Traveling hopper

Number of mixer discharge doors and their function
Note: if more than 1 delivery belt, provide sketch of arrangement.

If feeding block/paver machine, is "Constant feed" option required, to hold machine holding hopper level constant by controlling belt speed?

Bin level probes required for casting machine hoppers, quantity

Number of delivery points or casting stations

ALL PLANTS - SCALE DETAILS

Scales are Full load cell Dial/lever with load cell Dial/lever with no load cell Nothing provided

Capacity of scale 1 (in lb or kg?)

Capacity of scale 2

Capacity of scale 3

Capacity of scale 4

Capacity of scale 5

Are aggregate scales loss of weight (decumulative) with bins on load cells?

Is aggregate scale a mixer on load cells ?

ALL PLANTS - BIN LEVEL SENSORS

Need indication for: Agg. bin low Agg. bin high Cem. silo low Cem. silo high Continuous level display for silos (SiloWeigh)

Some plants have two bins for the same material and automatically switch bins when one is low. If so, give bin numbers to be switched

ALL PLANTS - DUST COLLECTORS

If dust collector not completely automatic, when should it be turned on/off or discharged

ALL PLANTS - ELECTRICAL

Power voltage for control system, single phase
Control output voltage (for valves, motor starters)

Input voltage from limit switches etc. in plant. (Our standard inputs are 24 VDC which are suitable for new installations. For older plants pre-wired for 110 VAC, better to leave plant wiring as-is and use internal 110/24 volt converter)

Motor Control Center required (send separate list of
all motors to be controlled, with HP or KW for each)

Bilingual (English plus second language) required? Second language is

Is a motor starter panel required?
