What process allows for the weighing of one concrete component with another in the same hopper?

Cumulative weighing is the process that allows for the simultaneous weighing of multiple concrete components within the same hopper. This method is particularly efficient as it enables different materials to be combined and weighed together, ensuring accuracy in the proportions used in concrete production. It helps in maintaining the overall weight distribution and allows for quick adjustments in case the cumulative weight deviates from the desired specifications.

This method is advantageous in concrete batching systems where rapid transitions between different mixes may be required. By using cumulative weighing, operators can save time and streamline the batching process by avoiding the need to weigh each component separately before adding it to the mix. The precision of cumulative weighing contributes to the overall quality and consistency of the concrete produced.
