How is Komponent® incorporated into the concrete mix?
Generally, this is done at the batch plant. If you are not adding the Komponent® via silo, the easiest way is to break the Komponent® bags over the sand and stone on the aggregate belt prior to batching the concrete. After combining the water, cement, aggregate, and Komponent®, the drum should be rotated about 70 times at mixing speed. This helps ensure complete incorporation of the Komponent® into the mix. Q: I hear we have two yards less concrete in the truck. A: With good normal procedures, the same size loads can be hauled. However, most Departments of Transportation require two yards less on their projects.
