Best Management Practices + CarbonCure Reclaimed Water = ROI

If you’re a concrete producer who has invested in a reclaimer, you enjoy the benefits of a cleaner job site, recovering aggregates, and knowing you are protecting the local groundwater and streams. Your investment also demonstrates your environmental responsibility to like-minded customers as well as regulators. 

It’s no small investment.  A concrete reclaimer with an agitated tank can run into six figures for the purchase and installation alone, never mind its operation and maintenance. You are, no doubt, saving by recycling aggregates from your returned concrete, but are you getting full value from your reclaimer?

You can optimize your concrete reclaimer by making improvements to your equipment, practices, and process flow. Some optimizations are harder to achieve than others, but all are worth a review. In an industry with tight margins and rising material costs, even small improvements can make a significant impact.

If you have an agitated tank, the most cost-effective way to optimize your reclaimer is to retrofit it with CarbonCure Reclaimed Water. This award-winning technology is installed on top of your existing agitated tank. The technology enables you to reuse the reclaimed water in mixes without negatively impacting your concrete’s fresh or hardened properties. Any reclaimed water you use in mixes is water you don’t have to pay to treat and haul away for disposal. You can save up to 20% of your virgin water use and reduce virgin cement by an average of 4%. The technology is provided through a subscription service, so there is no capital cost for the equipment. Even with modest production volumes, you can generate a return on investment. In short, it can revolutionize your reclaimer operation.
