Volumetric Concrete Mixing for Remote and Challenging Locations

Construction projects come in all shapes and sizes, and some require concrete in locations that are difficult to access. Volumetric concrete mixers shine in this realm and offer a superior alternative to traditional ready mix concrete deliveries. Here's why:

On-Site Concrete Production

One of the key advantages of volumetric concrete mixers in remote or challenging locations is their ability to produce concrete on-site. These mobile units are essentially concrete batching plants on wheels, carrying all the necessary raw materials - aggregates, cement, water, and additives. This on-site production capability offers several benefits:

a. Elimination of Transportation Hassles: Traditional concrete deliveries often entail long-distance transportation of concrete, which can be logistically challenging in remote or difficult-to-reach areas. Volumetric mixers eliminate this problem by bringing the batching plant to the construction site.

b. Reduced Traffic Congestion: On-site production minimizes the number of concrete delivery trucks on the road, reducing traffic congestion and minimizing the environmental impact. This is especially beneficial when construction is near residential areas or in ecologically sensitive regions.

c. Just-in-Time Delivery: Volumetric mixers allow for just-in-time concrete delivery. This means that concrete is produced when needed, reducing the risk of concrete setting in the mixer during transportation.

Real-Time Adjustability

Challenging locations often come with unpredictable conditions. Volumetric concrete mixers offer real-time adjustability to respond to changing circumstances:

a. Material Variety: Remote locations may require the use of locally sourced or specialized materials. Volumetric mixers can adapt to varying aggregate sizes, types, and moisture levels.

b. Mix Design Flexibility: In situations where specific mix designs are necessary, volumetric mixers can adjust the mix on-site to meet project requirements, whether it's for strength, durability, or other characteristics.

c. Weather Challenges: In challenging locations with extreme weather conditions, volumetric mixers can make immediate adjustments to maintain mix consistency and workability.

Reduced Waste

In remote or challenging locations, reducing material waste is of utmost importance. Volumetric concrete mixers excel in this area:

a. Minimized Over-Ordering: Traditional concrete deliveries often require over-ordering to ensure an adequate supply. The excess concrete leads to waste and additional disposal costs. Volumetric mixers eliminate over-ordering by producing only the amount needed for the project, minimizing waste.

b. Efficient Material Use: The ability to precisely control the mix design and batch size ensures efficient material use. This is particularly valuable when working with materials that may be scarce or costly in remote locations.

What we think:

Volumetric concrete and Veromix Concrete mixers offer a highly effective solution for projects in remote or challenging locations. Their ability to produce concrete on-site, real-time adjustability, and reduced material waste make them a valuable asset for construction endeavors in areas where traditional concrete delivery is logistically difficult.

By embracing the advantages of volumetric concrete mixers, construction projects whether locally or in remote and challenging locations can benefit from increased efficiency, cost savings, and improved control over the concrete supply. Our Veromix Concrete machines not only contribute to project success but also demonstrate the adaptability and innovation that are driving the construction industry forward.
