The out let gate is operated with one manual hydraulic hand valve so that the position can be set for the volume of material required in the use of wet mix designs. For the operation of predampening for dry gun use this gate is left in the full open position.

The coarse material in the inlet hopper is a ½” to ¾” aggregate shotcrete mix with 60 lbs of wire per yard. With our machine design the material gets broken up in the auger screw section drops in to the mixer as a light powder where water is added to give you a DAMP SAWDUST TYPE MIX (5% moister content) or up to a 5 inch slump mix. Note all mix designs can be metered and recorded for future use over and over again.

This video clip is showing the predampener discharging at a rate of 1 ½ yards per hour. The rotational speed of the conveyor (Auger Screw) is 6 RPM. The mixer chamber rotational speed is low at 38 RPM. Job site testing showed 10 yards per hour capacity can be maintained with no problems predampening but the dry gun hose size of 2” limited production to 9 yards per hour. No water was added to this mix in this video so that we can demonstrate the use of the wet mixer See other two videos of wet mix.
