Phoenix Weighing Services are firmly established as the UK supplier of Concrete Fibre dosing equipment.
In addition to our tried and tested FIBERweigh™ dispensers, we also manufacture bespoke systems to suit a wide range of fibre types and applications.
Current methods of adding fibres usually involve a great deal of manual handling, first – carrying heavy boxes of fibre up into the mixer area, secondly – repeatedly negotiating numerous flights of stairs to place fibres into each mix. Storage of fibre boxes in mixer rooms often causes a hazard in what is generally a confined space. Boxes also become damaged by water, causing bags to split. The FIBERweigh™ eliminates all of these hazardous practices.
Poorly dispersed fibre results in ‘clustering’ or ‘clumping’ of fibres, particularly in floor screeds. The FIBERweigh™ incorporates an innovative variable drive, which will ribbon-feed a continuous flow of fibres into the aggregates as they are discharged into the mixer. This way the product is totally dispersed with the aggregate before it even enters the mixer. Another major benefit of using the FIBERweigh, is that the volume of the loose fibre increases five fold by the time it exits the blower system, giving the fibre five times the surface area, thus vastly improving dispersion.
FIBERweigh™ will accurately batch the fibres to the required tolerances of EN 206-1. At present, where the delivery is not in full cubic metres the dose is normally rounded up to the nearest metre. More precise batching will represent a significant annual cost saving. Fibres can also be supplied in bulk bags, helping to reduce packaging and waste.
