RMC install Flomac systems

RMC Aggregates have installed Flomac material-handling systems at both Wick and Wickwar quarries. The Flomac Premium Multi system is designed to provide a fully automated solution to the metering, pre-blending and conveying of pelletized asphalt additives, including pigments for coloured asphalt and cellulose fibres for thin-surface dressings.

The Multi system allows different materials to be handled, each being stored in separate bulk silos and conveyed to a batch-weigh hopper before being transferred to the mixer. The system offers constant batch production, saving on cost and space, and allowing the equipment to link into existing plant-control systems.

Each system can handle up to 44m3 (22 tonnes) of cellulose fibres and 11m3 (16 tonnes) of pelletized pigments.
