Appl. No.:

11/764832

Inventors:

Roy Cooley - West Chester OH, US
John I. Compton - Lexington KY, US
Michael Topputo - Hamilton OH, US
Steve Verdino - Hamilton OH, US
Jerold Brickler - Liberty Township OH, US
Robert B. Fitzpatrick - Cincinnati OH, US

Assignee:

Verifi, LLC - West Chester OH

International Classification:

G01N 11/00
B28C 7/00

US Classification:

73 5403, 366 1, 366 60, 366142

Abstract:

A system for managing a concrete delivery vehicle having a mixing drum and hydraulic drive for rotating the mixing drum, including a rotational sensor configured to sense a rotational speed of the mixing drum, a hydraulic sensor coupled to the hydraulic drive and configured to sense a hydraulic pressure required to turn the mixing drum, a temperature sensor for sensing temperature of the drum, and a communications port configured to communicate a slump calculation to a status system commonly used in the concrete industry, wherein the sensing of the rotational speed of the mixing drum is used to qualify a calculation of current slump based on the hydraulic pressure required to turn the mixing drum. Temperature readings are further used to qualify or evaluate a load. Also, water purge connections facilitate cold weather operation.
