Dry weights

If the raw material dry weights change between batches then this value must be updated in the

recipe. This can either be manually entered for each batch or sent by the control system to the

Hydro-Control. Using incorrect values will result in the calculation incorrectly determining the

moisture change for the calibration.

Even when using a mixer moisture control system, it is important to correct for the weight of the

moisture in the raw material being used to ensure that the mix design is consistent. Any

moisture in the raw materials will affect the weight of raw material dosed and will affect the

aggregate/cement ratio.

It is important to use a control system that controls all of the raw materials being added into the

mixer, in particular all materials should be added to the mixer in the same order each time and

admixtures should be dosed at the same time during the cycle so that the effect of any materials

on the sensor signal is consistent.
