Question 5.
Calculate the productivity impact of switching from a non-tilting mixer to a reversible drum mixer on a site. Assume the non-tilting mixer takes 10 minutes per batch whereas the reversible takes 7 minutes.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how many batches are needed at your site and how time savings can accumulate.
Question 6.
Given that segregation can reduce the strength of concrete, design a plan to minimize segregation on a site using non-tilting mixers. Include timing and loading techniques.
