ABOUT LOAD & GO

The Load and Go Ready Mixed Truck Wash® is the result of 30 years of industrial high-pressure wash experience. The system has been designed to completely replace the need for a mixer driver to exit the truck in order to wash down after the loading process. Since 2008 we have been effectively cleaning mixers (both front and rear discharge) at wet and dry batch plants across the country. Concrete producers of all stripes have proven this system makes sense for almost all ready-mix operations because it:

• Speeds delivery/Reduces labor cost
• Improves QC by tightly controlling the volume of wash down water entering the mix (5.5-6.5 gallons of water)
• Thoroughly cleans the mixer (45-60 seconds)
• Improves safety
• Reduces fuel costs
• Reduces maintenance costs
• Reduces chemical costs

HOW IT WORKS

The Load and Go Ready Mixed Truck Wash® is an automated drive-through wash system that is highly specialized to thoroughly clean the entire mixer in 45-60 seconds, using around 35 gallons of water. These amazing results are achieved by utilizing 72-88 high pressure nozzles to deliver 1,200 PSI water jets to the entire mixer. Various types of nozzles are specifically designed and precisely aimed to remove cement dust and concrete build up from all areas of the roller pedestal including the drum, hopper, chutes, fenders and even the discharge blades in the drum. The system’s PLC is triggered and controlled by the Interactive Mixer Position Recognition (IMPR), which relays truck position to the driver through an intuitive red/yellow/green signal light. Utilizing up to 6 different wash stages, the Load and Go Ready Mixed Truck Wash® ensures that every part of your mixer (cab included if desired) is clean when the driver pulls through. Compare that to a normal plant washout station with a single high-volume, low-pressure hose using a gallon every 1-2 seconds for 5-10 minutes!This patented system is greatly reducing cycle times and increasing driver safety around the world. By placing extreme high-pressure water directly to the point where it is needed; we can now completely clean the mixer with far less water in much less time. Most systems average 34 gallons of water during a 45 second cycle compared to a driver using a gallon every 1-2 seconds over 5-10 minutes: depending on flow rates, that could be anywhere from 150-600 gallons!

4-Stage Wash Sequence

By automating the wash down process you will be cleaning every mixer the same way every time… very, very thoroughly. The Load & Go achieves these results through its patent pending mixer position system which requires every mixer to use the Load & Go the same way despite the driver’s personality.

Consistent Results are a Product of Consistent Processes

1. Entry Wash
A series of fanned out nozzles creates a 270-degree arch cleaning the cab, the wheels and the drum as the mixer slowly moves into position.

2. Primary Hopper Wash Cycle
The light will turn red and mixer will stop moving – if it passes the “Red Zone “the light will flash red telling the mixer to back up. Only when the mixer is completely stopped in the “Red Zone” will the hopper wash cycle begin. Note – This is the cycle that adds water to the mix.

3. Rear Pedestal Wash Cycle
Light stays Red, mixer holds as rear pedestal wash hits those hard to reach places.

4. Exit Wash Cycle
Light turns Yellow and mixer slowly exits as the Load & GO does a final sweep.

Performance Statistics

Total Water Use Per Wash:
Complete Mixer: 45 gal.
Gearbox Back: 37.5 gal.
Water introduced to mix: Less than 10 gal.
(Example: 10 sec hopper wash = 6 gal.)

Wash Time:
Complete Mixer: 60 seconds
Gearbox Back (rear): 50 seconds

IMPROVE SAFETY

The wash down process is statistically the most dangerous part of a mixer driver’s job. The Load and Go Ready Mixed Truck Wash® completely eliminates the need for the driver to exit the cab to wash the mixer. Gone are the days when a driver was required to exit the vehicle in a high traffic area, climb a wet ladder and lean over a spinning drum to reach all the hard to access points. Now instead of paying drivers to waste time in a dangerous spot, producers across the country are keeping them in the cab and getting them out the gate.

Additionally, by keeping the mixers extremely clean with high-pressure water there is reduced need for dangerous chemicals benefiting drivers and equipment. Less residual buildup also means less chance for concrete debris to come loose while mixers are on the highway causing cracked windshields and other damage.

This is one of the rare times in business when the safest way to do a job is also the better way as well as the fastest way!

SAVE WATER / IMPROVE QC

Reduce EPA concerns. With the Load and Go Ready Mixed Truck Wash® you’ll be using less water – typically between 30-35 gallons. This system has greatly reduced washdown water usage in every operation that has installed it. By using high-pressure water, the system consistently does a much better job of cleaning mixers with far less water. Less total water used means less to divert, capture, store and treat. In today’s climate of ever-tightening environmental oversight, managers need to consider any tool that can offer relief. Simply put, this is the right tool for the job.
