View Patent ↗A mobile grout plant for preparing structural grout comprising a mixer having an opening for receiving at least a portion of the components for preparation of the grout, a remixer located downstream of the mixer, a deck and at least one motor to power the mixer and remixer, wherein the mixer is oriented vertically above the remixer and at a terminal end of the grout plant so that a truck with aggregate can back up to the mixer for offloading directly into the mixer, with the opening of the mixer adapted to be about waist height to a worker standing on the deck.
1. A mobile grout plant for preparing structural grout comprising a mixer having an opening for receiving at least a portion of the components for preparation of the grout, a remixer located downstream of the mixer, a worker deck at a height above the ground, a shelf adjacent at least a portion of the opening of the mixer at the height of the opening and located above the worker deck, a platform located below the worker deck and at least one motor to power the mixer and remixer, wherein the mixer is oriented at a terminal end of the grout plant, vertically above the remixer, and the opening of the mixer is adapted to be at a height of from about 30 to about 48 inches above the deck.
2. The mobile grout plant of claim 1 further comprising a pump to move the prepared grout from the remixer to a work area.
3. The mobile grout plant of claim 2 wherein the pump is located vertically below the remixer.
4. The mobile grout plant of claim 2 wherein the pump is a hydraulic piston pump.
5. The mobile grout plant of claim 1 wherein the deck is adapted to be at a height of about 48 inches from the ground, about the height of a bed of a truck carrying an aggregate for delivery to the mixer.
