Recipe Variety
Experience the versatility of fibo Collect, providing an extensive range of both standard and customized recipes for concrete, mortar, and screed. With this innovative solution, customers have full control over the workability of their chosen material.
Unlock different possibilities with our array of additives, including retarder and air entrainer, which enhance the performance of mortar.
Retarder is blended with mortar to extend its setting time, while air entrainer increases the amount of trapped air, enhancing workability and frost protection. By precisely balancing the appropriate amounts of retarder and air entrainer, the workability of mortar can be maintained for up to 3 days, available as 1-day, 2-day, or 3-day mortar options.
Discover the flexibility of fibo Collect, allowing you to achieve your desired material characteristics. Tailor your construction projects with our dynamic recipes, designed to meet your specific needs.
With fibo Collect, take charge of your workability preferences and elevate your construction endeavors to new heights.
Collection Methods
Customers will be able to collect their concrete, mortar or screed in two ways :
- On the back of a trailer, flatbed truck or pick up.
- Poured into mortar tubs (0.25m3 each) which can then be loaded onto a truck, trailer or van at the branch.
Our Delivery Service
We will also be looking to offer a new tub delivery service. Here customers will be able to order mortar, screed and concrete in tubs for local delivery or even further afield if mortar is retarded.
FAQS:
General Questions
Yes, we now offer a pre-order service. Please give us a call to find out more about this service.
Simply by following these 4 steps…
Mix Questions Our Fibo Collect machine is set up to mix from as little as 0.25m3 in one single cycle.
There is no set limit on the maximum volume that customers can order. Your average 0.8m3 cycle will take around 4 minutes in total therefore in 1 hour you could mix up to 12m3 of material.
Up to 3 days, here’s how: Retarder is an additive that is combined with mortar to slow down its setting time, while air entrainer is added to increase the amount of air trapped in the mortar, making it more workable and gives it more frost protection. With the right amount of retarder and air entrainer mortar workability can last for 3 days and is sold as either 1-day, 2-day or 3-day mortar.
As a standard we have around 45 pre-programmed receipes to cover most of the everyday use cases encountered by our customers. We also have the capacity to offer customers special bespoke recipes which can be pre-programmed prior to collection. Have you got a special recipe requirement? Just email the volumes across to sales@cartmore.com
