Video showing a concrete drum!!!!!
A short video showing what happens inside a concrete drum and what it looks like! the concept was originally drawn by Albert Einstein of his corkscrew invention, however the inside of the concrete truck drum is the reverse corkscrew he came up with. Remember whenever climbing on a concrete truck safety is a must. Cramped quarters and big moving parts! Stay safe and Hopefully this video useful!

    Does the same ratio apply to light weight concrete ?

    • @fabphil63068
      @fabphil63068 11 місяців тому

      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

      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.

    @garyforestiere7732 2 роки тому

    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! Retired now company still uses me to train when needed

    • @fabphil63068
      @fabphil63068 2 роки тому

    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

    • @fabphil63068
      @fabphil63068 2 роки тому

      For instance the contractor ordered 5 yards at a 2 slump. So you slump to a 2 slump at the rack
