A gypsum slurry mixer output canister is provided, including a canister housing having an upper end, an opposite lower end and defining a canister interior, a cover secured to the upper end, a slurry inlet in operational relationship to the upper end, a spiral block associated with the upper end, and having a helical flow surface depending into the interior. A flow distributor is secured to the lower end and is in fluid communication with the interior, and a slurry outlet is defined by the lower canister housing end.

A mobile volumetric concrete mixing system includes a suction system that vacuums up trench spoils while a trench is being cut. These trench spoils are then screened on-site for particle size to be reused and mixed with water, cement, and/or other admixtures at an auger mixer to form a backfill mixture. This backfill mixture may then be loaded into a hopper that continuously agitates the mixture so that the mixture does not harden before pouring. The agitating hopper is coupled to a discharge chute of the auger mixer and includes one or more augers disposed at various orientations that the backfill mixture is channeled through. From the agitating hopper, the backfill mixture is channeled to an applicator that moves along the trench and that enables the mixture to be quickly poured into the trench with little clean-up required.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing fiber-reinforced concrete through shooting after inserting bubbles into normal concrete and a method for manufacturing the same, which: form fiber-mixed concrete in which the bubbles, fiber-mixed materials, and silica fume are mixed in the normal concrete or form the fiber-mixed concrete in which aggregates, water, and the bubbles are put into and mixed with a mixture, in which cement, the fiber-mixed materials, and silica fume are mixed; and then shoots the fiber-reinforced concrete in which excessive air included in the fiber-mixed concrete is reduced by spraying the fiber-mixed concrete with the high-pressure air when the fiber-mixed concrete is discharged, and of which a slump, drastically increased due to the large amount of bubbles, is reduced to a range of the slump of the normal concrete, thereby improving the production capacity of the fiber-reinforced concrete and shortening operating time.

The disclosure herein describes a concrete mixing machine for indoor preparation of fluid concrete for disposition as flooring. The concrete mixing machine is capable of mixing of 23 bags of concrete concurrently. The concrete mixing machine produces a large batch of concrete, and the concrete mixing machine moves and deposits the concrete for application. The concrete mixing machine is hydraulically operated and self-propelled. The concrete mixing machine does not emit gases harmful to indoor air quality and thus is environmentally friendly.

A device and method device for continuous mixing and laying of cementitious coating onto a substrate. There is a first mixing stage for metering and mixing a first liquid and a second liquid to create a first mix and a second mixing stage for metering and mixing the first mix with aggregate to form a second mix. The first and second mixing stages use flow meters and flow controllers for metering and restricting the flow of the first liquid, the second liquid and aggregate. A controller operatively coupled to the flow meters and flow controllers controls the mixing in a closed-feedback arrangement. A screed box applies the second mix onto the substrate to create a flooring layer. The flooring may be in a food processing plant.

A Mortar Delivery System is described. The Mortar Delivery System provides precise control of the delivery and application of mortar in addition to the mixing and tempering of mortar. Such control eliminates the use of a hand trowel in brick, block and stone laying applications. Sensing and control are integrated with the Mortar Delivery System to make it an important element of a robotic brick laying system. The Mortar Delivery System contains sensors to measure mortar viscosity and workability, mortar flow rate, and mortar nozzle pressure. The data from the Mortar Delivery System sensors can be used to change the rotational speed of the shear blades, change the amount of water being used for mixing or tempering, and change the delivery speed of the mortar. Such changes result in precise control of mortar that is in turn suitable for automated or semi-automated building processes.

A mixer for synthetic quartz includes a mixing barrel (1), a power transmission system (2), a mixing system (3), and multiple material receiving receptacles (4). The power transmission system is provided above the mixing tank. The mixing system is provided inside the mixing tank. The power transmission system is used to drive the mixing system to move. An opening is arranged at each of two ends of the material receiving receptacle. The multiple material receiving receptacles (4) are arranged at a top portion of the mixing tank, and end portions of two adjacent material receiving receptacles are spaced apart from each other without contact there between. A resin experiences low flow resistance in the material receiving receptacle, and thus can fall smoothly without accumulating in the material receiving receptacle. Moreover, the material receiving receptacle can be cleaned easily.

The invention relates to a construction material mixer, in particular an asphalt or concrete mixer, consisting of a container (1) having at least one driven shaft (5) to which mixing arms (6) carrying blades (12) are fastened at intervals, the blades (12) being at a distance from the inner wall of the container (1), the mixing arms (6) being divided into an inner part (11), which is connected to the shaft (5), and an outer part (13), which carries the blades (12), and both parts being connectable to each other by means of an adjustable connection device (22). The invention is based on the fact that the connection device (22) is a snap connection device. A particular embodiment and a rapid blade replacement method are described.

Disclosed is a method and system for blending a foam modifier with foaming agent on-line, e.g., as may be particularly useful for gypsum or cement slurries. The foam modifier comprises a fatty alcohol that is added to a gypsum or cement slurry that includes foaming agent, such as an alkyl sulfate surfactant. The fatty alcohol can be a C.sub.6-C.sub.16 fatty alcohol in some embodiments. The use of such a foam modifier can be used, for example, to stabilize the foam, reduce waste of foaming agent, improve void size control in the final product, and improve the gypsum board manufacturing process.
