Admixture scales: The admixture is weighed to the gram, not roughly.

The new concrete regulation and modern mix designs call for more chemicals in smaller, more precise doses. iOLABS admixture scales weigh up to 5 admixtures on the same scale, unaffected by mixer vibration, and connect directly to the automation.

What you gain

  • Accuracy you see in the concrete

    Latest-generation load cells and a suspension designed to isolate mixer vibration. The plasticiser or retarder dose is the one the recipe asks for, in every batch.

  • Up to 5 chemicals, one scale

    One loading pump per material and sequential weighing in the same bucket up to 50 kg. Less equipment on the panel, fewer points of failure.

  • Discharge the way your plant needs it

    By gravity through a pneumatic valve or with a discharge pump, depending on the distance and height of the mixer.

  • Clean bucket, stable reading

    Stainless-steel bucket with a built-in wash system. Chemical residue does not distort the next weighing.

  • Ready for the automation

    Connects to iConcrete or any system with an analogue signal. The operator calibrates it in two steps.

How it works

  1. 01

    Sizing

    How many chemicals, in what quantities per m³, where the mixer is. From that follow the bucket, the number of pumps and the discharge method.

  2. 02

    Manufacturing

    Built in our workshop with a stainless-steel bucket, load cells, pumps and pneumatics, and tested before it leaves.

  3. 03

    Fitting and calibration

    Mounted near the mixer, wired to the panel and the automation, calibrated with known weights, test dosings.

FAQ

How many chemicals can I weigh?

Up to 5 on the same scale, sequentially, each with its own loading pump. For more materials or larger quantities two scales are installed.

Does it fit a plant that does not run iConcrete?

Yes. The scale gives a standard weighing signal and accepts commands from any automation or from a stand-alone weighing indicator.

Why is it not affected by the mixer?

Because of the way the bucket is suspended and the digital filtering of the signal. The scale reads the weight of the material, not the vibration of the structure.

How is it cleaned?

With the built-in wash system, triggered by the automation or manually, so residue does not harden in the bucket and valves.

How many chemicals, on which plant?
