Concrete Mixing Station

The mixing station at DTI’s concrete laboratory offers an excellent possibility of testing concrete under true industrial conditions, while achieving very high batching accuracy. Therefore strong confidence can be placed in the results obtained when comparing properties of different concretes tested, e.g. when documenting concrete compositions and specific raw materials. Moreover, transferring concrete compositions that are found to perform satisfactory at the DTI mixing stations to larger scale mixing stations require less effort than implementation of mix designs developed using traditional small scale laboratory mixers.

With a mixing capacity of 250 liters of concrete and supplementary facilities and equipment fairly large test specimens and mock-ups can be produced at the DTI concrete laboratory.

The concrete mixing station at DTI’s Concrete laboratories is a state-of-the-art small scale industrial concrete mixing station. It is equipped with a 375/250 litre counter current pan mixer manufactured by Haarup A/S. The mixing station has 5 aggregate silos, 4 powder silos, 4 admixture pumps and a silica fume slurry tank. The mixing station is operated using process control software from Skako A/S. All materials are batches based on weight.
