Concrete Mixer Charging and Timing

Concrete mixer charging and timing are key to making a uniform concrete mix with the needed strength. Mixing begins only after all ingredients are inside the mixer. The usual charging order starts with 10% of the water, then the solid materials are added steadily, followed by 80% of the water. The last portion of water is ad...

Concrete mixers are initially charged with 10 percent of the total water, followed by consistent additions of solid materials and 80 percent of the total water.

The duration of mixing begins as soon as all components are in the mixer. The remaining 10 percent of water is incorporated within the initial quarter of the total mixing duration...
