Understanding the Mix Cycle
•
Mixes with very little fine material where the addition of cement causes clumping or
'balling' of the mix
•
Some SCC admixes
In these situations the Hydro-Control VI can be configured to calculate an amount of water to
add based on a reading with either just aggregates or aggregates and water added. Once
water has been added to a fixed moisture content it is then optional whether an additional
calculation is made to add the main water or whether a pre-set amount of water, scaled for
changes in the dry weight is added. Calibrating recipes is covered in more detail in Chapter 8
Using Moisture Control.
