Application Information
Dispensing
- Ascertain the volume of the concrete returned;
- Ensure that the slump of the returned concrete does not exceed 140 mm (AS1012.3.1);
- Add one bag of Sika® Stabilizer-440 RCR for each cubic metre of returned concrete directly in the agi-truck barrel;
- Mix at maximum speed, 1 minute/treated cubic metre or till the concrete granulates;
- Unload the granulated materials after the treatment in a covered area in layers, no more than 25 cm thick;
- Rework quickly (lift-remix) the granulated by-product by using the wheel loader in use at the batching plant after 3-4 hours from the initial process. Keep the material in dry conditions for at least 24 hours.
A solar day after the treatment, the granulated material can be collected and stored for the next use. At this stage a further remix might be needed to ensure even dimensions of the treated material.
