This animation shows the CBL-1 in action. The CBL 1 holds six yards of sand and gravel in the hopper which combines with the cement from the silo onto the belt loading conveyor. The belt automatically loads a Cart-Away mixing trailer in 3 minutes or less.
Water is sprayed into the barrel of the trailer from a conveyor-mounted nozzle.
All of the controls are conveniently located in one spot. The operator can move the loading belt from trailer to trailer, adjust water volume and dispense the raw materials without leaving the electronic control panel area. Daily clean-up is simple because there are no wet mixing augers or troughs to create a mess. But what really adds up is the savings in replacement parts that wear out on the old concrete blending systems. The conveyor belt has only four regular wear parts to worry about compared to the many bearings, wear shoes and troughs on an auger system.
