 CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
5 CALIBRATION
PROCEDURE
1. Start the auxiliary engine and move throttle switch
to run mode. See Engine Startup in this section.
Verify that the hydraulic system pressure is 1800-
1850 psi (124-128 bar). A calibration worksheet is
included after Section 8 of this manual.
2. Using a calibration worksheet, calibrate the
machine for emulsion, cement and aggregate. It
will be necessary to obtain weights of the truck
and loaded materials at different stages of the
calibration.
5.1 EMULSION CALIBRATION
Note: Calibrate emulsion first with an empty
aggregate hopper because counts are derived from
the aggregate conveyor belt.
1. Pump emulsion into the machine’s emulsion tank.
See Fill Emulsion Tank in this manual.
2. Remove the emulsion hose (1) from the pugmill
sprayhood manifold and attach hose (1) to another
truck or tank.
Note: Overflow line from emulsion tank may be
connected to the fitting on top of pump for calibration.
3. Open valve (2) between the emulsion tank and
pump.
13
4. Start the jackshaft. Move emulsion switch (3) to the
on position and leave all other switches off.
5. Pump enough emulsion to fill the hose to ensure
an accurate calibration.
5. Reset rock counter (4) to zero.
6. Turn mix start lever (5) to on while holding down
mix start override button (6). It is necessary to hold
down the mix start override while calibrating
emulsion and mineral filler (cement) because the
machine is equipped with a rock flow sensor to
automatically stop the flow of materials any time
the aggregate flow out of the hopper has stopped.
Run the emulsion pump for a sufficient number of
counts of the rock counter.
7. Obtain the weight of the truck or the tank the
emulsion was pumped into. Calculate the
emulsion weight per rock count using the
calibration worksheet.
8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 to obtain a total of three
samples. Average the results to calculate the
weight per rock count (Lbs/cnt, [kg/cnt]) of the
emulsion pumping system.
5.2 AGGREGATE CALIBRATION
1. Load the aggregate hopper with aggregate to be
used on the project.
 CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
2. Set the rock gate to 3 inch (8 cm) setting.
3. Move truck to location where the aggregate can be
run through the pugmill onto the ground.
4. Move jackshaft (1) and pugmill (2) levers to on.
5. Run a small amount of rock through to fill the belt.
6. Weigh the loaded truck.
7. Reset rock counter (3) to zero. Move rock switch
(4) to the on position and leave all other switches
off.
8. With the pugmill running, Turn mix start lever (5) to
on while holding down mix start override button
(6). Mix start override (6) will need to be held down
until the rock is flowing out of the hopper. Run the
rock conveyor for a sufficient number of counts.
Weigh the truck and enter the weights and
calculations on a calibration work sheet.
14
9. Run two more samples with a gate setting of 3
inches (8 cm), three more each at 4 inch (10 cm)
and 5 inch (12 cm) gate settings. Perform the
calculations and plot the graph on a calibration
work sheet. The graph will be used to select the
proper gate setting for desired production rate and
mix design.
5.3 MINERAL FILLER (CEMENT)
CALIBRATION
1. Load two bags of mineral filler (cement) into the
mineral filler hopper. See Mineral Filler Hopper in
this manual.
2. Move mineral filler (cement) switch (1) to on, leave
all other switches off.
3. Move mix start lever (2) to on and run the mineral
filler (cement) until a good even flow is coming out
of the auger and turn mix start lever off.
4. Reset mineral filler (cement) counter (3) to zero.
Place a pan under the mineral filler (cement)
auger discharge to collect a sample. Run the
auger for 10 counts of the mineral filler (cement)
counter. Weigh the mineral filler (cement) sample.
Repeat this procedure to obtain three samples and
then enter the weights and perform the
calculations on the calibration work sheet. Adjust
mineral filler (cement) percentage to the mix
design by turning knob (4).
 CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

5.5 ADDITIVE CALIBRATION

The additive digital flow meter is preset at the factory
to display gallons per minute (gpm) or liters/min. If
necessary to check the meter for accuracy, uncouple
the hose end at the pugmill, place into a 5 gal (20 L)
container and run the system for one minute with the
adjustment set to 5 gpm (20 L/m). The additive
system is designed to pump one part of additive to
ten parts of water. Therefore, when the meter reads
10 gpm (38 L/m), you are putting 1 gpm (3.8 L/m) of
additive into the mix.

An optional peristaltic system applies non-diluted

additive into the mix.
5.4 WATER CALIBRATION
Move water switch (1) to on. You should be able to
obtain 45 gal/min (170 L/m) to the pugmill.

The digital readout is calibrated at the factory to read

gallons per minute (gpm) or liters per minute (L/m).

If necessary to check the meter for accuracy,

uncouple the hose at the pugmill, place into a 5 gal
(20 L) container and run the system for 15 seconds
with the adjustment set to 20 gpm (76 L/m). At 20
gpm, the pump should fill the 5 gallon bucket in 15
seconds.
