Abstract
A mobile integrated continuous processing system for mixing and distributing hydrated construction materials having a system frame, including a coupling mechanism for selective engagement with an associated vehicle for transport to a worksite and selective disengagement from the vehicle for stand-alone operation, a mixing assembly including components for mixing dry construction materials with water of a temperature selected by a user to produce a hydrated construction material, a lifting mechanism for hoisting dry construction materials into a loading position in proximity to the mixing assembly, and a distribution assembly to expel hydrated construction materials from the mobile integrated continuous processing system.
Claims13
A mobile integrated continuous processing system for mixing and distributing hydrated construction materials comprising:
- a system frame, including a coupling mechanism for selective engagement with an associated vehicle for transport to a worksite and selective disengagement from the vehicle for stand-alone operation;
- a mixing assembly, operatively mounted to the system frame, including components for mixing dry construction materials with water of a temperature selected by a user to produce a hydrated construction material;
- a lifting mechanism, operatively mounted to the system frame, for hoisting dry construction materials into a loading position in proximity to the mixing assembly;
- and
- a distribution assembly, operatively mounted to the system frame, to expel a hydrated construction materials from the mobile integrated continuous processing system.
A mobile integrated continuous processing system for mixing and distributing hydrated construction materials comprising:
- a system frame;
- a mixing assembly, adapted to mix dry construction materials, having a hopper which can receive the entire contents of one or more 3,000 pound bags of pre-mixed dry construction materials;
- a lifting mechanism, adapted to hoist dry construction materials into a loading position in proximity to the mixing assembly;
- and
- a distribution assembly, adapted to expel a hydrated construction material from the mobile integrated continuous processing system.
A method for providing a mobile continuous processing system, comprising the steps of:
- providing an apparatus comprising a system frame, a mixing assembly mounted to the system frame, a lifting mechanism mounted to the system frame, and a distribution assembly mounted to the system frame;
- providing an associated vehicle for selective engagement with the system frame;
- coupling the system frame to the vehicle;
- transporting the system frame to a worksite under the power of the associated vehicle;
- disconnecting the system frame from the vehicle at the worksite for stand-alone operation;
- using the lifting mechanism to hoist dry construction materials into the mixing assembly;
- producing hydrated construction materials by operation of the mixing assembly;
- and
- expelling hydrated construction materials from the integrated batch processing system by operation of the distribution assembly.
