SELF-SERVING BATCHING PLANT IN BRISTOL & SOUTH WEST

Earthworks UK is proud to introduce a groundbreaking service to the local community with the launch of the region’s first drive-thru solution for concrete mortar and screed.   

The Fibo collect machine is a fully automated self-service batching plant that is designed to provide you with the precise amount of material you need, quickly and conveniently, at just the push of a button. 

With orders starting as little as 0.25m³, this revolutionary solution removes the hassle of mixing on-site, eliminates the need to wait at ready-mix plants, and avoids minimum order delivery charges and waste disposal challenges.

THE SIMPLE, EASY PROCESS

Our four-step collection process is as simple as it gets:

  1. Place your order at the Earthworks UK Office.
  2. Receive a barcode to use at the Fibo Collect touchscreen terminal. 
  3. Position your vehicle or tub underneath the conveyor belt. 
  4. Scan your barcode and confirm your order to begin mixing.

Small loads under 0.8m³ are mixed and poured in less than five minutes, while larger loads vary depending on size.

RECIPE VARIETY

The Fibo Collection Machine allows customers to choose from a wide selection of standard or bespoke recipes for concrete, mortar, and screed. This flexibility ensures that you get the exact material needed for your project with control over its properties and performance.

Key Recipe Options Include: 

  • Retarder Additives: Slows the mortar setting time, extending its workability for longer tasks.
  • Air Entrainer Additives: Enhances frost protection and improves material workability by trapping air within the mix.

These options provide tailored solutions to suit specific requirements, ensuring consistent and reliable results for any job.

SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENT

We’re not just committed to providing convenient and cost-effective solutions for concrete, mortar, and screed – we’re also dedicated to protecting the environment and reducing waste. Our Fibo Collect Machine plays a key role in supporting sustainability goals through several eco-friendly practices:

  • Minimised Waste: The Fibo Collect Machine ensures precise material quantities are dispensed, so customers only pay for and use the exact amount of material they need. This reduces waste, preventing excess materials from being left over on-site or sent to landfills.
  • Efficient Resource Usage: By eliminating the need for large-scale batching and transportation, the Fibo Collect process reduces energy consumption and emissions associated with traditional ready-mix delivery. Customers no longer have to wait for large truck deliveries, cutting down on unnecessary fuel use.
  • Local Sourcing: The Fibo Collect service supports local communities by providing building materials quickly and efficiently, reducing the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transport.
  • Eco-Friendly Batching Process: The automated batching system ensures that each mix is created with minimal environmental impact. With every batch weighed and mixed precisely, there’s no overproduction, further contributing to material conservation.
  • Recycling and Reuse: In line with Earth Works UK’s commitment to sustainability, we actively encourage customers to recycle packaging and other materials, helping to reduce their overall environmental impact.

By choosing the Fibo Collect Machine, customers can be confident that they’re contributing to a more sustainable approach to construction, helping to reduce waste and energy consumption while supporting local communities.
