A portable cement mixing system uses ingredients such as cement, water and
sand in predetermined quantities. A digital controller coordinates all of
the operating elements of the apparatus for the entire mixing process and
stores mixing programs relative to the mixing process for a variety of
cements which includes the various ingredient quantities. Separate
storage containers each coupled to a conveyors from the container extend
to a mixer to transfer that quantity to the mixer for each cement
ingredient. The conveyors are operated in sequence by the controller to
load the mixer with a predetermined quantity of each of the required
ingredients prior to mixing. The mixer and its contents are weighed
before and during the transfer of each ingredient to precisely determine
and transfer the required amount of each ingredient. After the mixer is
loaded with all of the ingredients, the mixer is operated for a
predetermined length of time.
