Abstract
A system and process for mixing and distributing building materials. This system and process can also include a way or a means for calibrating the mixing of these materials. This system and process can also include a system for tracking the materials that flow through the system, and for controlling the type of material used in the system.
Claims17
A mobile feeding system for cement comprising:
- a) a container;
- b) a transport device coupled to said container, said transport device being configured to be coupled to a vehicle wherein said container is disposed on said transport device;
- c) a first holding bin substantially disposed in said container;
- d) a second holding bin substantially disposed in said container;
- e) at least one feed tube disposed in said container and coupled to said first holding bin;
- f) at least one feed tube disposed in said container and coupled to said second holding bin;
- g) at least one pre-mixer disposed in said container and configured to receive materials from said at least one feed tube coupled to said first holding bin, and from said at least one feed tube coupled to said second holding bin;
- and
- h) at least one continuous mixer, disposed in said container below said at least one pre-mixer and configured to receive an output of said at least one pre-mixer and configured to hold said components from said at least one pre-mixer;
- i) at least one fluid supply disposed within said container;
- j) at least one mixing bin disposed within said container and below said at least one continuous mixer, said at least one mixing bin configured to receive fluid from said at least one fluid supply and configured to mix said components from said at least one continuous mixer with said fluid in said mixing bin;
- k) at least one pump disposed in said container and coupled to said at least one mixing bin, said at least one pump configured to distribute mixed cement to a site.
