Abstract
A mobile system and process for manufacturing and delivering concrete admixture finished products comprises: providing in separate transport tanks mounted on a vehicular frame at least two raw admixture materials (components); and blending together said at least two concrete admixture raw materials to provide a finished admixture product, whereby a finished admixture product is provided at a customer site, such as at a customer's mixing plant. Preferred processes and systems of the invention employ pump means for feeding admixture raw materials from the transport tanks to a blender, metering means for measuring the amount or rate of raw materials fed into the blender, and quality control units for monitoring physical characteristics of the finished product being delivered. Quality control units, such as devices for measuring certain physical properties such as total solids, specific gravity, pH, viscosity, volume, or other properties, may be employed to monitor, control, and track the nature of finished admixture product as they are made and/or dispensed, and even of the individual raw material components being processed in the system.
