Claims
- 1. A method for adding fibers to cement comprising:
(a) providing a gel composition from fibers and thickened aqueous composition; and, (b) delivering said gel composition to cement prior to pouring through a peristaltic pump.
- 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said delivering said gel composition through a peristaltic pump is at a constant rate.
- 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said delivering said gel composition through a peristaltic pump is at a variable rate.
- 4. The method of claim 1, wherein said delivering said gel composition through a peristaltic pump includes delivering said gel from said pump through an approximately 25 millimeter line.
- 5. The method of claim 1, wherein said delivering said gel composition through a peristaltic pump includes delivering said gel from said pump through an approximately 32 millimeter line.
- 6. The method of claim 1, wherein said delivering said gel composition through a peristaltic pump includes delivering said gel from said pump through an approximately 40 millimeter line.
- 7. A method for automating dispersal of fibers in concrete, comprising:
providing a gel containing fibers; and, using a computer controlled metering pump to deliver the gel into uncured cement.
- 8. The method of claim 7, wherein said computer controlled metering pump includes a peristaltic pump.
