If
the customer is to supply a laborer to assist the plant operator, that
person will be at the plant at all times when the operator is on site.
This should be the same person throughout the project as they will
need to be trained in plant activities and safety procedures.
Additional assistance may be required intermittently during setup
and teardown, also extra assistance during daily pugmill cleanout will
speed up the process.
If
the customer is to supply a loader operator, this operator must be
competent on the machine, and also be the same person throughout the
project, as they will have to be trained in specific procedures for
loading the plant. This
operator will need to build a ramp to the agg bin approximately 5’ tall
12’ wide and 25’ long . The
exact size will depend on size of loader. The
top of the ramp must be flat at least the length of the loader so the
operator can properly see the agg bin and so when the brakes are applied
before dumping, that force will not move the plant.
Aggregate
fed to the plant must not contain any trash, vegetation, sharp objects,
metal or any material larger than 2”.
If it is native soil, it will almost certainly have to be screened.
If material is pre screened extra care should be taken in ensuring
the screened pile is kept separate from unscreened and reject material.
If anything larger than 3” enters the pugmill, serious damage may
occur to the plant, causing repair and downtime expenses which will be the
responsibility of the contractor. If
large materials continue to enter the pugmill, mixing will be ceased until
the source can be determined and rectified.
Please contact us if you need suggestions on how to prepare the
material and if it needs to be screened.
