Dosage
BarChip 2024 has a regular dosage rate of 2.5 kg to 6 kg per cubic metre. Dosage rate should be determined based on performance requirements.
Mixing
EPC BarChip 2024 is added “Bags and All” to the mixer with initial batch water. Follow with dry materials and mix at high speed for the required revolutions. Alternative batching techniques can be applied.Undertake mix optimisation with EPC specialists to ensure you’re getting optimal output from your concrete mix. For more information view EPC’s batching and mixing guide.
Pumping
EPC BarChip 2024 can be pumped through 50 mm rubber hoses without difficulty. Precautions should be taken to ensure the fibres can pass freely through the hopper grate.
