MIXERS, PUMPS AND DELIVERY SYSTEMS
BMI product, he also cites the cost efficiency of the system itself as a primary benefit to Esche & Lee.
"The largest percent of our job cost," Esche says, "is labor, not material."
With the BMI system, Esche says, his crew is free from hauling enormous bags of material, or what he likes to call "80-pound back breakers." That means he reduces his crew hours and pays fewer workers comp claims. He only needs one worker versus three, and the company doesn't have to purchase any $4,000 mixers. Esche says the BMI Silo System pays for itself.
How the silo works
SO WHAT MAKES THIS SYSTEM so simple, powerful and efficient? An ordinary silo is nothing more than a storage container for product. The BMI silo, on the other hand, is a key component in an integrated product delivery system. It can hold up to 36 tons of material, and it's fully enclosed and self-contained, so the product won't be contaminated by dirt or moisture. The silo keeps the material perfectly dry until it's mixed with water. That makes working in subzero temperatures no problem, since dry product doesn't freeze.
Other BMI Offerings
In addition to the basic Silo System, BMI offers several additional high-tech system components that can help deliver mortar or grout wherever you need it.
The BMI Grout Pump can push grout up to 500 feet away. The pump is connected directly to a standard BMI silo, and mixes the pre-blended product with water before pushing the grout through a hose. Thus, it only takes three crewmembers to pour your grout directly into the block. And, since there's no dust, virtually no cleanup is needed, adding to your crew's efficiency.
The BMI Mortar Conveyer is designed to deliver mortar to high-rises, courtyards and other places that can't be accessed with a forklift or a crane. The conveyor is attached to a standard BMI silo on the ground, and is connected via hose to a remote mixer that sits on the jobsite. Using air, the conveyor blows the dry product from the silo to the mixer, where the water is added. It's a fast, clean way to deliver product to those hard-to-reach places without additional machinery or labor. MAS
