LTC provided an LTC Series IV blender head that was attached to a 385 Cat excavator and a cement slurry mixing and delivery system that is capable of delivering in excess of 1,400 lb of dry cement/minute.

• The system consists of two 1,200 cubic foot silos raised to accommodate the delivery setup, specially designed silo unloading and cross delivery augers, a mixing auger where water is introduced, a piston grout pump, a 175 horsepower diesel power unit, and an integrated electronic weighing and metering system.
• This system will accurately weigh out an entered quantity of cement and give the operator a constant readout of the rate of delivery and the status of the current delivery as well as the gross amount of cement remaining in the silo.
• The system will shut off when the entered quantity of cement has been delivered. While one silo is unloading the other can be loaded.
• The quantity to load can be entered into the system so that a signal will activate when the load quantity is reached or possibly the blower system loading the silo can be made to shut down when the load quantity has been reached.
• The rate of delivery of dry cement and the water-cement ratio can be adjusted by the operator at any time to accommodate changing field conditions.
• The system is completely self-contained. It has a hydraulically driven air compressor and electrical generator with circuitry compatible with the system computer and electronic controls.
