You can dry the truck up. No need to waist $. The first load always trim high. If ya leave the materials in the bins. The moisture water will go down to the bottom. That’s why first load will come out wet. Batchman for many years. Just by the sound a plant makes you will know if something wrong. All I need is the password to the computer. The plant I can figure it out in 10 minutes how to turn it on. Oillers.air Compressor . Pit water or city water. Slum area water on. Build air pressure. Make sure jay box is on. Hit start look and listen to the plant. Water scale weights up rock bin opens first. Last to weigh up is cement. Or admixture’s depending on the mix. Leave room for tail water. A mixer truck loads better at a slower rotation than a fast one.
The batchplant I operated had a mixer all the material went to prior to being dropped into the truck. So as ur loading material, u could hear the motor winding if it was too dry. Had to be alert every single batch, but lots of overtime, miss that job a lot
This video is just the bare minimum of using this board & software for a single plant. Command goes much deeper than probably most of you can comprehend. If you know.. you know
VER Command A > VER After this command is entered, DOS will issue to you the message indicating the version. Kidal = left hand Why Intel 8088 microprocessor chip?
@@markmackay5953 In that case you got some poor quality rock with high porosity. go to 2 mins in the video. 2% on 1"rock and 3% on sand,,,, really? most the moisture is held on the surface of a material. surface area/weight ratio is massively lower in rock compared to sand.
excelzzer perfect load every time because the scale doesn’t lie . When the Horn goes off and spray bar comes on you have a perfect 4 ....... every time . I’ve had so many Mix design guys and salesmen tell me this . Of course they have no idea how wrong they are . And cement to water ratio is ridiculous. If a state inspector (cal trans) watched how much water I added to the load at the plant just to get it to be able to come out of the truck ( but the scale doesn’t lie and the moisture meter is perfect ) he would literally and figuratively shit down both legs .
@@prnd21turbo That is why there are safety factors to account for this strength loss. QC typically adds roughly 1500 psi on top of any mix just to qualify it. I doubt you are adding more than 10 gallons per yard on average. If we designed everything to the exact strength, structures would fall down left and right. No shitting down legs, we are aware of the discrepancies. Plus their are samples taken on every job to make us aware of any low breaks.
howdydutt1e Well we always get early breaks well over the psi required for the job . No matter the sack content or mix . 25 years in the industry has shown me that inspectors are book smart but really have no idea what really goes on at the batch plant . All they care about are the weights on the tag . Shit down both legs ? Yes . Absolutely.
@@prnd21turbo As a guy who was a tester on site for 3 years and just started batching last week you are correct, lol. Looking at our break records they are almost always 1500-2000 psi higher than design strength at 28 days. And just because you enter slump as a 4 on the program doesnt mean it will come out a 4. Our drivers are pretty good though and know how much more water they need.
