SUPERWASH

Simem Superwash plant washing system
DESIGN

. An Innovative Design

SUPERWASH: AUTOMATIC MIXER CLEANING SYSTEM.

Mixers are treated to a near 200 bar/3,000 psi providing unmatched cleaning leaving minimum residual concrete remains in the mixer tank. Simem exclusively designed orbital high-pressure rotating wash heads are self-retracting and driven by an independent gearbox and electric motor.

DESIGN

. A Complete System

Our SUPERWASH includes

  • High pressure unit, preassembled in a steel cabinet
  • High efficiency water filter
  • Two high pressure water pumps
  • Water distribution
  • Manual washing wand
  • MCC power control board
  • PLC connected with 3-inch control panel installed on the front door
  • “Total stop” function by PLC
  • Leak detection system

CHILLCRETE

Simem water chiller Chillcrete
DESIGN

. An Innovative Design

SIMEM CHILLCRETE: Air cooled chiller, designed to form part of an INTEGRATED solution producing and using chilled water as part of a SIMEM concrete batch plant. The integrated solution includes a chiller, water pump, temperature sensors, and automation to ensure all components function in unison, with easy access for the plant operator and maintenance personnel, comprised of:

  • Chiller and all components sized for the specific application
  • Alarms from chiller displayed on plant automation and logged in the alarm list
  • Concrete temperature is recorded by a probe in the mixer and logged for each batch, with pre-set alarm feature
 
 
DESIGN

. Operational in all circumstances

  Standard Design Parameters:

  • Ambient temperature up to 50 °C
  • Water inlet temperature up to 35 °C
  • Water outlet temperature – 5 °C
  • Chiller operating 24 hours a day
  • Insulated chilled water tank (excluded from Simem supply)
  • Main power supply 400/50 or 460/60 or 380/60 (V/HZ), to be specified at time of order

WATERWASH

A NEW RECYCLING SOLUTION

WATERWASH is made up of large filter panels, specially designed for contact with concrete.

By applying the correct pressure, these filter panels separate the water from the fines; the water can be used for other purposes or put into a new concrete batch cycle.

A pH metering and adjustment system is available if the mix design requires pH-neutral water.

AN EASY WAY FOR RECYCLING

WATERWASH can be easily transported since it is installed into a pre-wired and pre-plumbed standard container equipped with lights, insulation, and heating as necessary for the climate it will operate in.

Through a modern PLC system, the operator has complete control of all aspects of the unit and can set the correct filtering for job site specifications.

WATERWASH 1.0 has the capacity to treat up to 10 m3/h of slurry water, while the 2.0 version can treat up to 20 m3/h.

The solid content in the discharge water can be as low as < 0,1 gr/lt.

HOW DOES THE WHOLE SYSTEM WORK

1. The process begins with the mixer or truck washout.
2. Extra concrete is diluted with clean water through pipes
3. The diluted concrete is discharged into the hopper, equipped with conveying pipes
4. BETONWASH works automatically until the complete extraction of aggregates (up to 0.15 mm)
5. The system periodically starts the agitator to avoid the settlement of fine materials
6. Slurry water is received from the WATERWASH from a specific deposit tank
7. WATERWASH separates water from concrete generating a “cake” of aggregates that can be reused in the concrete production
8. Clean water can be reused in the plant for site activity
9. A PH adjustment is available to check water conditions

BETONWASH

A NEW RECLAMATION SYSTEM

BETONWASH is the definitive solution for reclamation of excess concrete and slurry water from cleaning of trucks, pumps, mixer, buckets, etc.

It separates solid materials over 0.15 mm diameter from the water through a spiral system rotating inside the inclined drum.

Slurry water is discharged from the BETONWASH by overflow into storage tanks and can be reused in the production of concrete or pumped into the WATERWASH.

WHY CHOOSING BETONWASH

Some advantages that make the BETONWASH the best choice are:

  • Extraction  of  solid  materials  through  a  spiral system without the use of any filters often found in reclamation systems.
  • Two  models  available  with  capacity  of  10  or  25 m³/hour.
  • Concrete can not get in contact with the drive unit ensuring mechanical integrity.
  • Minimal wear of surfaces inside the inclined drum thanks to the low rotation speed, the extraction spiral and the use of residue aggregate as a wear liner.
  • With  a  wide  variety  of  possible  configurations, BETONWASH will fit any plant and site
