WHAT IS VOLUMETRIC CONCRETE AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
In short, Volumetric Concrete Production is an advanced production technology designed for precision, flexibility, waste reduction, and yielding a fresher, quality product.
Volumetric concrete, a construction innovation, involves the on-site production through volume-based material dispensing and mixing, instead of conventional material weight batching and mixing. Utilizing specialized volumetric concrete mixers (VMs), this approach offers continuous batch precision and control in producing always fresh concrete only when required and yielding exact quantities only as needed, thereby eliminating concrete waste.
VMs are essentially truck-mounted concrete batch plants equipped with dispensing bins for raw materials like cement, aggregates, water, admixtures, and additives. Utilizing the VMs Material Control System, the flow of all mix components are accurately coordinated, metered, and monitored onto a conveyor belt and into a mixing bowl. This ensures precise dispensing of mix proportions, conforming to prescribed mix designs and yielding accurate concrete quantities with consistent quality results. Mixing occurs in the auger, synchronized with conveyor belts and material flow rates to ensure thorough, high-energy, high-sheer agitation. The final mixed concrete is dispensed onto chutes and poured on site where desired.
In addition to preserving concrete quality through accurate, fresh batching and eliminating concrete waste, VMs further offer the advantage of mix design flexibility. Multiple mix designs can be used from the same truck and mixes can be altered to suit the customers’ changing slump and air requirement project needs.

Firenza Plumbing & Heating Ltd. has been dealing with CeMix Concrete for the past 4 years. We have had nothing less than pleasurable experiences with every load delivered. We appreciate the fact that the load can be customized on site as required to suit the application. The sales staff are extremely knowledgeable and extremely helpful when taking the order so as to assist with all possible options. The sales staff are always asking the appropriate questions regarding type of application, delivery time as well as any or all other pertinent questions. As for delivery time the trucks always arrive on time. A special thank you to Nick in sales who assisted with a load a couple of weeks ago that required a special mix . As usual the load worked out perfectly. We look forward to maintaining a CONCRETE relationship with CeMix as we grow together.
Absolutely wonderful service and even better quality of concrete after working with c mix for 8 years I can confidently say that CeMix Concrete is the best on the market right now.
One of the only places I could get to do a Saturday delivery during winter. The truck arrived on time (in fact 15 min early), everything went as it should, phone answered always, professional, pricing was right. Even with delivery to out of area (Kitchener). With on-site mixer I can control the slump as needed. Heated water, fibers no problem. Had to take a break in between due to poor weather and was not rushed at all. Thank you. Was charged the exact amount of volume used, ordered 9, used 8.3, charged 8.3, not sure what the other reviewer is on about; the truck has a computer you can see the amount used right on that system.
CeMix was able to supply my concrete needs within a short time frame. Their mix on site truck did wonders and the operator did a good job with operating the mixer to fill my volumetric needs with very little waste left over. Will be using this company again in the future.
