On-The-Spot Mixed Concrete Available For Residents Of Port Perry And Area A brand new way to buy freshly mixed concrete -- that brings all the materials for concrete to the job be- fore they are mixed, continu- ously mixes them at the job site in accordance with the purchaser's requirements and delivers the concrete with. out de'ay, is being introduced in the Port Perry area by the Lake Scugog Mobile Con- crete. The company is a division of Lake Scugog Lum- ber Co., Ltd., headed by Mr. Ted . Griffen and Van Camp Contracting Ltd.«headed by Glenn Van Camp. This unique method of pro- ducing on-the-spot coneret~ ~ -is made possible by a new development in concrete handling which the local com- pany has purchased from the National Concrete Machinery Company Division of Irl Daf- fin Associates, Incorporated at Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It is the first of these unusu- al machines to be put into service in this area. Completely self - contained and self-powered, the truck- mounted CONCRETE - MO- BILE carries suffiicent dry and unmixed cement, sand, stone and water in separate compartments. When the job site is reached, the oper- ator adjusts two dial controls that accurately determine the proportioning of the cement, sand, and stone (gravel) then adjusts the flow of water in. to an auger-type mixer at the rear of the unit. This takes only a couple of minutes. Immediately, the concrete, mixed according to specifica- tions . . . or "design", as the concrete people say . .. starts to flow continuously from the chute that is attached to the end of the auger-mixer. The operator is in full control of the mixing operation and can start and stop production al- most instantaneously in order to actually "deliver" the con- crete as fast or slowly as it is needed or at the rate at which it can best be handled by the purchaser of his crew. The unit is equipped with a recording meter and auto- matic delivery ticket printer that shows the exact quanti. ty of concrete delivered to any one customer. These d=- livery tickets show the total number of cubic yards deli- vered in one-tenth cubic yard increments. Thus, the cus- tomer always knows exactly In front the two how much concrete he receiv- ed and pays only for the a- mount delivered. The CONCRETE - MOBILE produces accurately formu- lated concrete on a continu- ous basis rather than "batch- ing" it . . . or making it in small batches. An unusual i#eature of the service is that the formula or "design" of the concrete may be changed while the unit is at the job; it is just a matter of a minute or two or change the dial settings on the controls. "This can be a distinct ad- advantage to many buyers of concrete" Ted Griffen of the organization, said. "Many po- tential customers want a little of this and a little of that to handle different jobs. He pointed out, "we can start from- the plert with a full load of cement, sand, stone, and water, and deliver orders of any size . .. made to meet any 'design' specification . .. at nominal cost pér yard. Furthermore, the customer gets only the quantity he needs; 'there never is any excess Or over-run. CONCRETE - MOBILE Ser- vice will be in full operation May 1st, 1970. St.Mary's Cement Co.
