| Automated concrete mixer wash-out diverter chute |
Description
At Breedon Aggregate’s concrete mixer plant the drivers raised concerns regarding the site wash-out facilities and in particular, the state of the floor beneath the concrete mixer pan. The method of cleaning out the pan mixer resulted in a mixture of aggregates and cement paste falling on the floor creating a slips, trips and fall hazard. The solution to this problem was an above ground wash-out bay combined with an automated retractable mixer wash-out chute. The chute enables the mixer washed-out material to be fed directly into the bay rather than onto the floor.
Benefits
• Significantly reduced floor contamination reducing risks
• Easier to clean the mixer resulting in improved maintenance
• Improved environmental conditions
• Less cleaning up at the end of the day for the batcher.
