When The Wet-Mix Shotcrete Beat The Dry-Mix Shotcrete Machine

Dry-mix solutions create great amounts of dust that can have negative effects on the health and safety of individuals working in the vicinity. Dust from dry mix can also cause problems with a mine’s ventilation system.
In recent years, the wet-mix(wet-mix shotcrete) process has been gaining in usage. Its advantages over dry-mix include:
1. better control over water cement ratio through in plant batching (in the dry mix process the nozzleman controls the water content);
2. less rebound, greater rates of placement and productivity and hence lowers cost;
3. less dust and more homogeneity in mixing
Ruoya’s Wet-Mix Shotcrete offers a dust-free solution that can be pumped from the surface. A single nozzle operator needs to be underground, allowing mining operations to continue with little disruption. Additionally, Wet-Mix Shotcrete can be applied almost twice as fast as traditional dry mix.
The unique mix design of Wet-Mix Shotcrete allows for pumping over long distances. Pumping from the surface eliminates the need for costly, hard-to-find instrinsically safe wet pumps.
Pumping from the surface also eliminates the risk for nozzleman error. Crews on the surface monitor quality levels, providing a more consistent and reliable application.
