Volumetric Calibration Concrete Mix Designs Sampling & Testing Technical Consultancy Quality Management Systems

Accurate calibration of your volumetric mixer is the backbone of the assurances you give to your customers and maintaining control of your material costs.

Regular calibrations ensure the correct proportions of materials in your mix preventing pouring concrete that’s too strong or weak and therefore unfit for purpose. It also prevents overyielding and giving your concrete away for free.

Professional calibrations from Volumech are the industry gold standard for a reason. Using our decades of experience and expertise not just in the mixers but in the concrete as well we ensure your mixers are set up correctly and ready to pour.

Volumech offers calibrations for:

All makes of volumetric mixers as an ongoing scheduled service

Re-calibration when materials or mixer components are changed

One-off setups or corrections to mixers out of calibration

Professionally set up and tested mix designs using your unique materials are at the core of success for any company producing concrete.
There are significant differences in how materials perform when used together to make concrete. This means generic mix designs found online or received from another business are at best a starting point. Or at worst, these designs could leave your business exposed to significant risk and additional costs. Until your mix has been tested, you can’t be confident your concrete will hit strengths. For any business concerned about the quality of the product they’re delivering, it’s critical to have your mix designs professionally set up.

Volumech has decades of experience at setting up mix designs with customers all over the UK. These customers have benefitted from lower costs and the peace of mind that comes with confidence in the product they’re producing. We work with you to understand the goals of your business and set up mix designs to suit.

Regular sampling and testing of your concrete is the best way to ensure accuracy and quality between calibrations that protects your business and margins.

Testing your concrete regularly gives you and your customers confidence in the product you’re delivering, as well as catching any potential issues early before becoming costly.

Volumech provides a range of services for sampling and testing. Whether you’re just starting and want an initial indication of your mix design strengths, want regular compliance testing to meet industry standards, or are looking at cost savings measures, we’re here to help.
