| Gears, Inc. and Pyramid
Environmental, Inc. (PEI) are specialty mixing
contractors where accuracy and experience are important
to the success of a project. Gears, Inc and PEI utilize continuous mixing
volumetric self-erecting and self-contained plants which
are state of the art. The plants have a varied throughput
capacity of 100 to 1,000 tons per hour depending on the
properties of the soil and amount of bentonite to be
added per cubic yard.
The plants are made up of
a 16 cubic yard aggregate bin, a self-erecting silo, a
twin shaft pugmill, water storage tanks with pumps, and a
discharge conveyor with a gob hopper. The plants are
computer controlled.
The bentonite is fed from
the silo by means of an enclosed hydraulically driven
cleated belt feeder where a high degree of accuracy is
achieved. This degree of accuracy is important to insure
meeting the requirements of the specifications while not
running over or under on an expensive additive.
The bentonite, water and
soil are introduced in the mixing chamber. The twin shaft
pugmill produces a violent mixing action insuring a
homogeneously mixed product. This mixing action not only
insures a uniform mix but produces a material where the
desired density is relatively easy to achieve in the
field.
Our experience in the
proper proportioning and mixing of soil/bentonite and
other products such as RCC, CTB, Soil Cement and
Hazardous Waste is unparalleled.
In every facet of
construction there is knowledge to be gained from
experience. The mixing of soil bentonite is no different.
Our plant operators have years of experience mixing
bentonite with all types of soil. Our equipment is the
best. Don’t trust your critical construction
schedule to a contractor with no experience mixing
bentonite, or worse, to one using rental equipment with
no proven track record. Your GEARS/PEI contact can
discuss permeability, types of bentonite soils, internal
friction angles and rotational shear strength so that a
first-class project can be obtained within budget and on
schedule.
If your project requires a
high degree of accuracy of mixed product, give us a call.
