Product Features

Various fitment options (M8 x 15) Bead feature allows easy alignment of tape, tape supplied as standard

Integrated sieve with incorporated handles acts as a water baffle during transit and prevents any water from escaping 750 mm flexible hose for easy emptying

Can be retro-fitted Industrial quality mouldings, resists knocks and scuffing

The unique design collects the washout waste and separates the coarse material in a robust sieve designed for easy emptying.

At the batching plant, the containment tank is simply emptied through gravity by lowering the hose towards the settlement pits. There are no mechanical parts that could jam or require costly maintenance.

concrete mixer wash out system

Cement powder, workable concrete and grout are extremely alkaline. Concrete also contains chromium, which is potentially polluting not only to watercourses but also to groundwater. Trucks, hoppers, mixers and concrete pumps that have contained concrete must be washed out in a contained area away from watercourses, surface water drains, storm-water drains, grids and channels to prevent pollution. Where possible, store and reuse washout water.

Washing out ready-mixed concrete trucks on-site
The Environment Agency publishes Pollution Prevention Guidelines, including PPG6 'Working at construction and demolition sites', a guideline that is intended to assist with those in the construction and demolition industry. This states that precautions must be taken to ensure the complete protection of watercourses and groundwater against pollution. Further, it states that 'Suitable provision should be made for the washing out of concrete mixing plant or ready-mixed concrete lorries. Such washings must not be allowed to flow into any drain or watercourse.' Ready-mixed concrete trucks should not be allowed to wash out anywhere other than the areas designated for the purpose.
