Lime Slurry Blending & Proportioning

In 2003, a customer had an experimental job for his state that required the coating of the virgin aggregate prior to its introduction into the drum mixer with an accurately blended slurry of lime and water. The customer had his own ideas for the design of the slurry blending and aggregate coating hardware. SYSTEMS Equipment was to provide a stand alone slurry blending control and to also modify the existing SYSTEMS ADP-100 plant automation to control the coating of the aggregate.
