Can lightweight concrete be under mixed??
The cement and water slurry should be mixed until there are no dry clumps or balls of cement. The pre-formed foam mixture is then added into the mixture. The foam mixes quite rapidly into the slurry and only requires modest mixing times depending upon the mixing equipment. • Can cellular concrete be over mixed? Mixing until there is a reduction of volume of product is not recommended. Air cell stability is the mark of LCM liquid foam concentrates and our LCM Foam Generators. With typical mixing procedures, lightweight concrete formulated with LCM pre-formed foam is very stable even with modestly extended mixing times. • How far can lightweight concrete be pumped? Lightweight concrete is a very easily pumped, highly fluid mixture. The bulk of lightweight concrete is placed by pumping. Lightweight concrete typically will move through the pump lines using less pressure than typical heavier grout mixes • How do you finish lightweight concrete? Most lightweight concrete is left to self-seek
