Admixes by

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 control   Timer
(select all applicable)
Volumetric meter required   Meter pipe size (inches)

Describe what ingredients go into each scale. If aggregates are presently fed volumetrically (no aggregate scale),
how do you wish to proceed?

Scale 1 is for (aggregates?)

Scale 2 is for (cements?)

Scale 3 is for (water?)

Scale 4 is for

Scale 5 is for

Number of mixers (if used)
Type/manufacturer

Aggregate scale discharges to mixer or truck by
Ribbon discharge (rate control) required?

Cement scale discharges to mixer or truck by
Ribbon discharge (rate control) required?
(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

ALL PLANTS - SCALE DETAILS

Scales are

Capacity of scale 1 (in lb or kg?)

Capacity of scale 2

Capacity of scale 3

Capacity of scale 4

Capacity of scale 5

If any scale have more than 4 load cells,  how many?

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)

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 and any special features - reversing, soft-start, VFD etc.)

Is this a new, existing or modified plant?
