@fabphil6306810 ай бұрын
It does but there are variables, lightweight is mostly for upper decks so majority of the time in order to pump it high they will use a super plasticized mix or high range. Both of which changes the ratio

Well it really depends on area, time of year and weather. Summer average would be 45-55. Winter time in a northern state would be 25-40

You will eventually get to where you can listen to it and guess the slump as well. But take your time with it. It takes a while for everything to fall in place.

Best method with a rear discharge climb the ladder and look at it when you get to job depending on what customer wants add some water mix it up discharge a little if they like it good to go good rule of thumb is 10 gals per inch of slump but that depends on the mix lots of variables there ! 30 yrs on mixer!

Thank you for the video. I don’t understand when you say “5 yards at a 2 slump “. Does that mean upon the operator pouring the mix it’s already a 2 before you go to the slump rack to add water? Thank you
@fabphil630682 жыл бұрын
For instance the contractor ordered 5 yards at a 2 slump. So you slump to a 2 slump at the rack
