Wait—that’s not all—we’ll also unveil the new SPEC MIX® D2W Continuous Mixing
System with its Gas Powered Hydraulic Drive Pack. This engineered system functions like a
dust-free, high-output portable batch plant giving contractors the ability to mix large
amounts of materials anywhere without needing any utilities. That means no electricity and
no pressurized water line on the job site! Simply connect the
D2W’s hose to its pump and a 250 gallon tank of clean water, start the gas powered hydraulic
drive and the D2W Continuous Mixing System is capable of producing up to 8 cubic yards
of material per hour! Say goodbye to ready-mix concrete trucks delivering your masonry
grout…The D2W Continuous Mixing System with its Gas Powered Hydraulic Drive Pack
will mix as much material as you need whenever you’re ready!

During our demos we’ll be handing out the new SPEC MIX “Material Use Guide”, a resource
designed to educate and prepare contractors with pertinent information regarding OSHA’s
New Crystalline Silica Rule for Construction (29 CFR 11926.1153). Attendees will see the
new silo accessories for reducing dust at the mixing station and we’ll discuss our Work
Control Practices Guide developed to help train on-site personnel how to use SPEC MIX
silo systems and products in a safe way that should reduce unnecessary exposure to dust.
Like any other tool on site, it is of the utmost importance that workers mixing products are
properly trained to ensure they are not putting themselves at risk—so stop at the SPEC MIX
Material Mixing Station—let’s make sure jobsite safety is your focus in 2019 and beyond!
