Measuring the Time-Saving Benefits of CemixFlo

Time-Saving Study: CemixFlo vs. Traditional Cement Mixing

Conducted: December 2024

Location: Sussex, UK

Objective: To measure the time saved when using CemixFlo compared to traditional methods for mixing cement with 1-tonne bags during winter conditions.

Methodology:

Two professional builders of the same experience level participated in the study. Two identical cement mixers were used in a controlled environment.

Method A: Traditional hose for water input.

Method B: CemixFlo attached to the hose for direct water flow.

The study was conducted in winter, using slightly wet sand. Each builder mixed ten 1-tonne bags of cement, alternating between the traditional and CemixFlo setups.

Results:

Time Savings:

Traditional Method: Average 45 minutes per 1-tonne bag.

CemixFlo: Average 30 minutes per 1-tonne bag.

Time Saved: 15 minutes per 1-tonne bag, equating to over 2 hours saved during an 8-hour workday.

Mix Consistency: CemixFlo provided more uniform water distribution, reducing mix inconsistencies by 20% as confirmed by visual and manual assessments.

Effort and Ease-of-Use Ratings:

Traditional Hose: Rated 6/10. Builders noted awkward handling and uneven water flow.

CemixFlo: Rated 9/10. Builders praised its simple setup and smoother operation.

Seasonal Considerations: While this study highlights significant time savings during winter with wet sand, builders noted that results may vary in warmer months with drier sand conditions.

Conclusion: CemixFlo consistently saved 15 minutes per 1-tonne bag, improved mix consistency, and reduced manual effort for builders. This innovative tool is an excellent choice for professionals seeking efficiency and precision in cement mixing.
