“Concrete used to really stick in the chute. It was very difficult to remove as it was hard to get at. I had to spend hours every week keeping on top of it. Since we fitted ConeFlex there is no build up at all as concrete doesn’t stick to it. It has made my job a lot easier. I can load trucks faster and we haven’t lost any production while clearing blockages.” Plant Foreman
The wet chute under a pan mixer discharge door had been causing problems for years. Gradual concrete build up slowed mixer discharge and increased truckmixer loading times. On busy days the chute would block altogether bringing the plant to a stop.
